Today's free tip is recipes for ALCOHOLIC Halloween punches.
These look great at any Halloween party but remember, if there are kids at the party too, that they punch bowl is well out of reach of the children.
QUICK & EASY STOMACH CHURNING BLOOD RED PUNCH
Chill the Vodka (in the freezer) and lemonade (in the fridge) for at least 24 hours. Just before the party combine "spirits" and the lemonade in a large punch bowl.
Add red food colouring to make it blood red.
Then place the marshmallows on top of the mixture to create a gooey, stomach churning blood red punch.

Admittedly I have yet to try this one out but I am sure it will work a treat.
To make floating ghosts you need
* Large Helium Balloon
* Some lightweight white fabric like voile or even large white bin bags will also do the trick
* Small glow sticks
* String
* Black card & glue
Very simple, tie the glow stick to the helium balloon and place the fabric over it. If using white bin bags, you will have to cut open the bin bag first and then maybe tie it around the balloon so it doesn't slip off.
Then with the black card, cut out some ghoulish eye and mouth shapes and stick to the fabric.
The floating ghosts will float around the room, especially if there is a fan to create a breeze and will have a spooky eerie glow from the glow sticks.

Today's Halloween tip is absolutely free! perfect for a party on a budget!
This is idea for both kids Halloween parties as well as adult Halloween themed parties.
You can then either burn some a CD or play through your mp3 player.
My recommendation is to compile music & sound effects together and mix them randomly so you get the sound effects in between tracks. It really does make people jump.
If music maketh the party, then the Halloween sound effects really will be the icing on the cake!
