Receipe for a Helluva Halloween Bash

Have you ever noticed that someone's persona changes once they don a costume? That's what makes Halloween Parties so much fun- Clark Kent becomes superman-librarians strut as playboy bunnies and science teachers become nerds, wearing taped glasses and pocket protectors (oops).

The recipe for a great Halloween party begins with a big old house-the bigger and older, the better. Next are the decorations- cobwebs, spiders, rats, fog and weird sounds.

We just attended two "super bowls" of parties. They met all of the above criteria and then some. The decorations were fantastic - moving ghosts, talking heads and skeletons, more weird noises than a cheap motel- so much fog/smoke I thought I was back in the boy's room in high school.

Now for the cast! Every Halloween Party must have a few well endowed cheerleaders and some scantly clad nurses. Throw in a portly priest and a naughty nun along with an assortment of ghouls and goblins. Check out Egore, Shegore, Vincegore, Kategore and Uncle Fester. There were so many capes I thought it was either an Elvis or Liberace Convention. No party is complete without the Village People plus the cast from, The Wizard of Oz. Four of the guests came as pall bearers carrying a coffin with a real skeleton inside!

Top it off with super food and drink-Wow, Wow Wow!
