Have you noticed something spooky in the air?  Is it ghosts, witches, zombies, or maybe just that full moon?  With Halloween just around the corner you can never be sure!

Join us in costume as we get "freaky" at Heather and Eric's haunted house!

Vampire Cocktail:  Ryan & MJ

Who would like a blood filled syringe in their drink?  We would!  We would!

Ryan & MJ freaked us out with Vampire Cocktails, a delicious mixture of vodka, amaretto, and club soda, served with a syringe filled with raspberry "blood" puree.  We couldn't get enough of the "blood"!

We also had our choice of an array of fall-themed brews!

Bat Bites & Graveyard Dip: Ann & Jason

Think that bats and graveyards aren't yummy?  Think again!  These bat bites were a creamy mixture of cream cheese, goat cheese, and pesto rolled in poppy seeds and black pepper.  Adorable yet spooky!  And the graveyard dip was nothing short of your favorite bean dip once you got past the freshly dug graves!  "Dig in!!!"

Body Buffet:  Heather & Eric

Never thought you'd enjoy eating a human body from a buffet?  There's nothing like seeing the heart, kidneys, intestines, and ribs all waiting for your eager taste-buds!  This was a truly spooky display!

And to go along with our body buffet, there was brain salad and pickled onions... quite the freaky feast!

To finish the night off, what is better than eating your very own gravestone?!?  Maybe that surprise blood in the middle of your cupcake?!!  Katie & Denis brought out all the stops with personalized Gravestone Cupcakes!
