Zombie Apocalypse Party

October 09, 2017 in halloween, Halloween, Zombie Party, free printable

Our Zombie Apocalypse party was set in a post apocalypse cafe filled with lots of tables, preserved foods and some pretty durable kitchen equipment.

We created a game based on a skill exchange for food rather than money, a set of printables have been created for this game and are a free download.

This party complemented our Walking Dead Party and our Post Apocalypse Canapes.

We created a number of small tables each with a table number, candle, flowers and salt and pepper.

We used vintage gingham table cloths and a mix of old furniture which is what I imagine would occur in a post apocalypse world. Zombie warning signs were positioned around the room.

Zombie Apocalypse Cafe with canned foods

This theme requires some lead time to collect lots of cans and large jars for cereals etc.

Our wait staff were using bloody aprons and we used some nice bats in the window. The restaurant had a counter where you arranged your table and form or payment.

Sticking to our apocalypse theme we used a lot of very durable plates and cups, including tupperware and we did include some gruesome food, as it is halloween.

Stone scene setter's were used on the wall and we added a Zombie baricaded at the window. The television displayed a nice welcoming open fire.

The cafe was a good way to keep all the children busy. We created a set of printables for this game that are available as a free download

The Walking Dead Zombie Party

October 06, 2017 in halloween, Halloween, Zombie Party, The Walking Dead

This was such an exciting party to put together, we are avid watchers of the walking dead and the battles against both the walkers and Negan. For this party we went with a home invasion by the walkers and included elements from the governors room. We also produced a post apocalyptic cafe serving some end of the world treats.

The Walking Dead party - Zombie Invasion

For our table scene we positioned our dressed skeletons on the table with two animated zombies. We made the scene quite gruesome by creating gut cavities that held various organs and intestines that were spilling onto the table.

The intestines were made with packing peanuts and liquid latex, you can find intestine tutorials on line, we used various organs including a beating heart. Generous sprays of blood were used on the victims clothes.

Ah, the governors room. I can clearly remember the first scenes in the governors room with the rows of zombie heads in fish tanks. This look was easy to create with skulls, latex zombies, fishtanks and pebbles. We blacked out the sides and top of the tanks to make them look more gruesome.

In candle light, the zombie heads look very gruesome and the eyes tend to follow you around the room.

Tall candles and large vases of blood spattered roses completed our table.

We included severed hands and feet, reminiscent of many a butcher scene (aka Bob) and managed to find a zombie head scene setter that was perfect in the entry hall with another zombie.

We used a lot of stone wall scene setters on our interior walls and card boards on the front door in an attempt to lock out the walkers.

After much deliberation we decided to dress as zombies (a very comfortable option for halloween). To keep the younger ones entertained we created a post apocalyptic cafe and post apocalyptic canapes.

Please Enjoy

Zombie Canapes from the Post Apocalyptic Cafe

October 04, 2017 in Halloween, halloween, Zombie Party, The Walking Dead

In creating these canapes I asked the question: "If it really was the end of the world, what would be left at the supermarket?". After perusing the canned and bottled goods aisles I came to the conclusion that spam, gerkins, smoked oysters, champiginons and pickled cocktail onions could be contenders. In isolation, many of these foods are completely palatable, but when you load a tray with mixed canapes with only these foods it becomes another matter.

Our canapes were skewered with long tooth picks and Zombie mini bunting. These are available as a free download.

These are a must at your next walking dead or zombie party.

Enjoy - Julie

The trick with these is to make each slightly different. They can get quite tall so a tooth pick is a must.

Present the canapes on a vintage silver tray and be sure to make each guest try at least one!

Zombie Party With Dessert Table

October 03, 2017 in free printable, halloween, Halloween, Zombie Party

This party was a lot of fun to create. Zombie's are currently very on trend with more than a few Zombie Apocalypse movies and television shows available. For our zombie party we created a zombie dessert table using a graveyard theme with tombstones and a grave digger. This party includes free printable products so you can create this at home.

Enjoy Julie

The dessert table was created as a zombie graveyard. We used a plastic rock wall scene setter as the back drop. We then added a black graveyard fence, tombstones and skulls. Our stand out piece was our animated zombie grave digger complete with shovel.

Catering was keep simple but looked fantastic with graveyard cupcakes, eyeball and zombie cake pops, tombstone cookies and layered jelly cups.

We made two types of cake pops. We made crazy green Zombies with bulging eyes and eyeball cake pops which we served with a fork.

The cupcakes were very effective, yet easy to make. I made a basic chocolate cupcakes then iced with chocolate icing. The tombstones were achieved by finding the right shape biscuit and giving them a generous chocolate coating, the ground was crushed chocolate ripple biscuits and a green plastic hand completed the look. We included sugar cookies in tombstone and coffin shapes.

The stone wall extended to the ceiling creating a formidable look for a graveyard

To extend the graveyard look we extended the stone wall and created a cemetery using the same fencing and tombstones as the dessert table, this was completed with swarming bats and large spiders. The front door was guarded by a creepy zombie and a haunted tree completed the look.

The colour palate of green and blue worked well with the grey stone and injected some colour into a dark palate.

We created a small set of dessert table printable products for this party, these are available as a free down load (Download 1) - (Download 2).

We hope you enjoyed our party

Zombie Brain Shooters

October 01, 2017 in drinks, halloween, Halloween, Zombie Party

The perfect shooter for a Zombie party has to be a Zombie Brain Shooter. These are a great visual shooter and they are simple to make but require a slow steady hand to get the right separation of layers in the glass. We served these at our Zombie party and they went were a real hit.

These are very nice indeed - Enjoy Julie

To make a zombie brain shooter fill a shot glass 3/4 full with peach schnapps. Then very gently pour Bailey’s Irish Cream on top, I have found that pouring over a teaspoon can slow the flow to get a better result. When almost full add a small amount of blue Curacao then grenadine syrup or a good heavy red cordial.
