The goblins outside might be frightful, but a Halloween party is always delightful.

This All Hallows’ Eve, conjure eerie gothic vibes with a romantically macabre menu. Channel the festive spirit(s) by dressing the table with black lace, velvet and candles. Thrill guests with finger foods like bony and spiced chicken-bone lollipops and shrivelled, creature-inspired fig bites. Next, lure them in with an enchanting cauldron of seafood and a bewitching salad before capturing their hearts with “poison” apples and a blood-curdling cocktail. Few can resist this haunted harvest, where the offerings are deadly, and the night never ends.
