"Eye of newt, toe of frog, wing of bat, tongue of dog.
Adder's fork and blind worm's sting,
Barbados lime is just the thing.
Fragias salt, like a sailors stubble,
Flip the switch, and let the cauldron bubble."

♪Put the lime in the coconut♪, it's midnight margaritas time! If you're short on some of the ahem, special ingredients from the original recipe, we think our frozen margs will work in a pinch. Want even more flavor? Try blending our pumpkin margaritas or our spicy apple cider margaritas next!

A perfect Halloween (or Christmas, depending on which side of the debate you fall on) dessert, this fudge captures the essence of both holidays, just like the movie, The Nightmare Before Christmas.

For this twist on a Moscow mule, we’ve replaced the vodka with some smoked bourbon or whiskey, added some maple syrup for a touch of autumn magic, kept our lemon juice and ginger beer as our old-time residents, and included an optional roasted marshmallow to garnish.

Our classic margaritas get an eerie upgrade for the spooky holiday—your guests won't know what hit 'em. While it may look complicated, the only extra thing you need for this cocktail is food coloring, which means you can easily make this for any last-minute movie marathon. May we suggest Disney's strangest film, The Black Cauldron?

"Eight legs, two fangs and an attitude." The original tagline for Arachnophobia could just as easily be about this adorable spider. If you love crescent rolls and are as obsessed with tacos as we are, this Halloween-inspired appetizer is calling your name. Created to playfully represent a spider with crescent roll legs and a crescent roll ring body stuffed with a beefy taco-spiced filling, it’s equal parts cute, creepy, and downright tasty.

Everyone is espresso martini-crazed these days, but you don’t need to drink alcohol to avoid falling asleep and being murdered by Freddy Krueger. This coffee-filled mocktail packs a punch with an espresso base, creamy top, and tons of Oreo crunch with none of the alcohol. For the caffeine-adverse (look, this movie came out in 1984, which makes its original fans 35+—we've got early bedtimes!), this drink is still a go, as it can also be enjoyed with decaf espresso, if desired.

Looking for a home-cooked meal to cook to impress your local small town theater operator, but don't have any edrazeba in your pantry? May we recommend not accidentally using your mom's old spellbook as a cookbook, and making this totally safe, definitely-won't-turn-into-a-monster-or-a-love-spell creamy, crunchy, crowd-pleasing casserole instead. Feel free to crumble on some chips before serving (it worked for Elvira!).

Marnie's right, Halloween is cool, and these spooky cocktails are just the thing to make for your Halloweentown movie marathon.

We uh, noticed you have not tasted the ambrosia salad that we made especially for you? Allow us, here's a BIG spoonful. Put this out for your Edward Scissorhands watch party to show all your guests the most hospitality.

Looking for something delicious that's only a little bit spooky this Halloween? Try these adorable raviolis filled with ricotta, Parmesan, and finely chopped pear, paired with watching everyone's favorite maybe-too friendly ghost, Patrick Swayze. We made these from wonton wrappers, rather than pasta dough, to make them scary easy on you too. If you've got a boo who can wrap his hands around you while you make them, we're not stopping you! 😉 You're welcOoOme.

In the Harry Potter books, pumpkin juice is traditionally served over ice for a refreshing drink that screams fall; however, you could also warm this up in a mug for something more cozy. Try it with some bourbon for the most Halloween-y hot toddy.

These chocolate cookies are simple, chewy, and slightly crispy. Black cocoa powder is what makes them their dark rich color, perfect to represent our favorite black cat. Pair these with our Hocus Pocus Jell-O shots and our Hocus Pocus s’mores pops for the perfect spooky spread.

Get the Hocus Pocus Binx Cookies recipe.

Anyone else traumatized by the The Halloween Tree as a kid? Just us? From what we can remember, a man named Carapace Clavicle Moundshroud (okay, we did Google that) steals a kid's soul, puts it into a pumpkin (??), and says he'll only give it back if the kid's friends learn the true meaning of Halloween. Though we're pretty sure a rewatch wouldn't be quite as creepy as we remember (is this actually an educational film?), we might just keep it safe and make this pumpkin cheese ball instead of rewatching.

Get the Pumpkin Cheese Ball recipe.

♪Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters♪ COOKIES! We know, we know, these are almost too cute—feel free to use some green food coloring to turn some into Slimers.
