With Halloween coming up right around the corner, some of our friends shared with us their recent horror themed Dinner Parties. From recreating the Vincent Price cookbook to being inspired to create culinary art based on their favorite show, here are plenty of dinner party  ideas to get you in the mood for Halloween!

Vincent Price, the famous voice of horror, also had an interest in cooking. Not only did he write multiple cookbooks, A Treasury of Great Recipes and Come into the Kitchen he had his own cooking show Cooking Price Wise which aired in 1971.

Here he is cooking with Wolfgang Puck:

Any recipe from The Vincent Price cookbook is sure to impress your dinner party guests. Matt Babb, a friend of Dapper Cadaver, decided to do just that.  On his YouTube channel  he creates videos showcasing Vincent Price’s culinary creations mixed with footage of his dinner parties and narrated by Prices audio cookbook Push Button Cookery (if you want to listen, the Fine Art at Home blog posted the recordings). Matt himself acts as Price creating these delectable dishes.

Check out this episode Price of Dinner Maincourse and don’t worry, there’s lots more on his channel to watch!

Looking for other horror inspired dinner party ideas? Try a party based off the food in your favorite show. Dapper Cadaver’s own Grace did just that. Her Hannibal themed dinner party included a menu of Roasted Beet Salad, Kidney Pie, Ahi Tuna, Prosciutto Quiche Cups and for an extra special dessert, Blood Ice Cream. The blood ice cream recipe comes from the book Odd Bits: How to Cook the Rest of the Animal. Check out some photos of her event!

Grace was inspired by Janice Poon, food stylist for Hannibal. On her blog, she provides photos of the food and art she makes for Hannibal as well as recipes for the adventurous dinner party host. Janice brings food to a new art form using symbolism as well as intense creativity for the elaborate dishes.
