Craftibilities: shots

This was our 10th annual Halloween party!

Party theme this year was Bio-Hazard /Toxic Waste / Zombie Apocalypse. Since my front yard is covered in zombie skeletons I always have a partial zombie theme going on.

I made all the decorations and named or re-named all drinks and food to match the bio-hazard theme.

SO MUCH FUN!!!

First, here is a picture of my husband and I as Jack and Wendy Torrance from The Shining.

Aren't we so cute!?

Outside Decorations

The usual zombie infestation. They are made from PVC pipe and I have 11 now. Tutorial HERE.
I made the teeth and eyes as well a few years ago. Tutorial HERE.
Last year I made the gates and columns but never posted a tutorial. :( They are super easy to make and hopefully I'll update soon.

Oh and can't forget the dead bodies on the porch. I've said to the boys in the past that this is what happens when you don't help with dishes. ((kidding, of course)) I'll just say my kids do all the dishes. Not taking any chances. Lol! Tutorial HERE.

I put out all the body parts I made for our yearly zombie picture. Tutorial HERE.

One red balloon on the mailbox. This photo was taken the next morning. It was still floating!!! It actually lasted until around 1pm. We came home and went inside. I came back out to take it down and it was gone. Hmmmm.

Lots and lots of spider webs and spiders.

I have two red/yellow kaleidoscope turning and swirling lights directed at the teeth and eyes. Purchased at Wal-Mart. Under the porch I have a blue light bulb on the left and a slow flashing strobe from party city.

I thought about changing the bulbs to green on the front porch but forgot with all the other decorating. :)

I did make green glowing biohazard jars leading up to the house.

Toxic Waste Drink Station

I love how it turned out!!!

The best part........I didn't think I was going to get enough black lights to do anything and scrapped that idea early on when decorating.

Before the party I added glow sticks to all the drink bins and trash cans.

Every year I almost focus my entire party around my drinks. I have so much fun deciding what to serve, how to serve it, and what to name it! I'm already planning next year.

Here's what I served starting with some favorites:

Chilled Urine (Lemon Drop)

Served in these Urine Sample Cups. Washed before filling.

DRINK:

2 cups vodka

1/3 cup triple sec

1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

1/2 cup super fine sugar

A+ Blood Bags (Sangria)

Removed fruit from sangria and filled Blood Bag Drink Holders.

Zombie Virus (Appletini)

I found these Appletini Booze Brews on sale from HEB. I guess they weren't going to carry them anymore.

I used my Keurig to make them and served cold.

I found the drink jars from Michael's on sale the year before. If I didn't have the jars that aready said Zombie Virus I would've named them Zombitini.
