Every October, the candy corn, Frankenstein fingers, pretzel broomsticks, and creepy crawlies are out in full force at Halloween parties everywhere. From cute, to grotesque, here are some pop-culture-inspired Halloween treats to get your friends ready for this spooktacular holiday!

2. Goosebumps Punch
A right of passage in childhood, Goosebumps, was a popular taste of horror in the 90s that recently got its reboot a few years ago. The oozing green slime was the series’ trademark, and it makes the perfect Halloween drink. This punch is not only nostalgic, but it’s green and gooey, and probably pretty tasty, too.

3. Eyeball Cocktail
Nothing elicits a scream from your friends’ mouths faster than an eyeball in their cocktail. You can grab an eyeball ice cube tray from Amazon, or make your own with this recipe from liquor.com!

4. Brain Dip
Every true zombie knows that a party ain’t a party without some delicious brains on the menu. This dip looks so much like the real thing, your friends might be too chicken to give it a try (jokes on them, it’s pretty darn tasty!)

5. Stranger Things Cake
While the cake itself might not have your friends running away in horror, the thought of being stuck in the upside-down certainly will. This cake will bring back the dark and scary memories from Season One of the beloved Netflix show.

6. Frankenstein’s Feet
Though he might be depicted more often as cute rather than creepy, Frankenstein’s limbs can make any party go from cute to creepy in a matter of seconds. These meatloaf feet aren’t the most appetizing to look at, but we’re sure we’d be hitting the food table for seconds with this delicious recipe!
