The Witch is In

While one may consider an earthquake and tsunami warnings as scary enough for tonight, those are nothing compared to a visit to a haunted house.

Welcomed by a ghost of a witch in white, your choice as you step in is to venture away from safety and be guided by a crow to a beer.

And if you don't happen to like beer, there are jars of bloody wine cocktails staring at you, begging you to take a sip and fall into the web of this haunting, memorable evening.

And yes, there was food, but we will get to that soon. The first order of the night was to evade creatures from all walks of life and beyond or beneath and get your hands on a cold icy glass of Sangria. 

But evading those creatures was not easy, particularly this nightmare.

However, once you were past this creature, with your glass of booze, you would have had a chance to sample some substance.

The vegetables and a delicious sweet dip, the dark wings (or were those rat thighs?), the generous selection of cheeses along with a sample of bloody cold cuts.

Dips, salads, crackers, breads, sweets; all made for an amazing evening witnessing men turning into vegetables, women turning into cats, men growing boobs, live beauties turning into dolls and hot sauce bottles.

Was there a way away from all those depictions of creatures?

Not really, you'd just have to get drunk and go with the flow. You may meet your sugar daddy, or see a painting come alive.

You may nibble on a corn, bite a carrot or fry a potato. But you won't escape the friends you have not seen for a while, the new friends you made, all the good company, good food, charming hostesses, making for a Halloween party like no other.

And yes there were games, and prizes, but the real winner is someone who tried those home-made chocolate salted caramel mini cupcakes.

Happy Halloween and remember if you trick or treat...

 
... your treat may be a potato or, even worse, a green tomato.
