Last Saturday, one of my friends hosted her first Halloween party. Incidentally, it was also the first Halloween costume party I’ve ever gone to.

I dressed as a black cat. And not quite on purpose, I came in a black car (my car would not start so I had to borrow my dad’s car).

There were several people and everyone dressed up: a vampire, Joker, a white lady, a banshee, Grim Reaper, a bat lady… and the winner of the night was a headless figure.

My friend really went all out. Her whole house was dark and decorated. Bats, spiders, spiderwebs, skeletons – you name it, she had it. She also prepared quite the menu. Blood stew was the most popular dish of the night.

For drinks, we had a choice between virgin blood and Bloody Mary… in these blood bags!

We played a few games, one team against another. My team won twice (not with much of my help, mind you!) They were party games I somehow have not played before. Losers had to eat worms (real fried worms) or be the worms (crawl underneath the winners while they were standing). I was thinking it would be those gummy worms but I ended up having to crawl when I found out.

It was a fun packed night. I didn’t know most of the people, and that made it even better. I got to interact with new people and see new faces. By the end of the night (or early morning), I was so tired and was starting to fall asleep on one of the couches. When I left at 1 am, I was still the first one who left the party.

Did anyone dress up for Halloween this year or are you planning to dress up?
