	SPIDER CAKE (When cake is cut, it spurts green goop.) Batter 18-1/4 oz box white cake mix 4-serving package green gelatin Black Frosting Blue food coloring Chocolate frosting Decorations 4 black licorice whips 2 big green gumballs 6 little gumballs Prepare cake using two 9-inch round cake pans. Cool. Prepare the gelatin according to package directions. It works best if it is just a little on the soft side. On a foil-covered cookie-sheet, place one cake layer for the body. Cut a smaller circle out of the center of the layer. Place this smaller round of cake as the spider's head. Fill the hole left in the body layer with gelatin. Place the other cake layer on top of the body and trim cake slightly to shape, if desired. To prepare frosting, in a mixing bowl, add blue food coloring to the chocolate frosting until black in color. Frost the entire cake black. Cut the black licorice whips in half and insert for the eight legs. Position the gumballs as eyes. (Linda Glenn)

	3 cardboard boxes can be painted or covered in crepe paper to look like Draculas Coffin. Make sure you have a lift up lid. This can be made from extra cardboard. Don't forget to decorate the inside. This coffin can be used in several ways. As a place for the food buffet, balloons or prizes for your guests, or just as a decoration complete with Dracula and a wooden stake through his heart.
	Fill rubber gloves with water and freeze. Take blindfolded guests into a closet and tell them they must shake hands with a dead man before they can eat. (Or make up any story.) Imagine their shock when the hand they shake is cold as ice.
	Hang plastic or pompom spiders and bugs from the ceiling using black thread. Hang lots of threads with nothing on them so that they go across your guests' faces like spider webs when they cross the room.
	Peel grapes and freeze. Hand two to people and ask if they would mind holding your eyeballs for a moment. Or you can have a bowl of eyeballs. Or if your guest in the closet doesn't fall for the dead hand, give him your eyeballs as a reward.
	Use only candlelight or light from a Jack'O'Lantern.
