Freaky Friday Halloween Fun

October 29, 2010 by DanicasDaily 8 Comments

Happy weekend & almost Halloween all!!!  This has been such a fun filled week loaded with Halloween Treats, creating our “Haunted House” in the office and of course our Costume Contest.  I honestly never knew that there were so many ways you could decorate a cubicle until my co-workers busted out their creativity!

Before I start, I just have to say Thanks so much to all of you for being patient and waiting for me to post a recap all at once.  I am definitely working on getting back to my daily rambling schedule with you all now that I have a little room to breath.

Get ready because this post is long, corny, a little gory, but, totally fun :D  If you see anything you want the recipe for, just leave a comment and I’ll post it for ya.

TREAT WEEK HIGHLIGHTS!!!

We figured the BEST way to get people over to our “Haunted House” was through FOOD!  I don’t know about you all, but, I can easily be bribed with food 😀

DAY 1 ~ Decorate your own Halloween Cupcakes & Sugar Cookies complete with homemade Butter Cream Frosting.

DAY 2 ~ Mummy 7-Layer Bean Dip (So easy to make!)

Complete with Red & Green Salsa in Pumpkin Bowls

I served it up with Purple & White Tortilla Chips and Wholly Queso on the side.  I couldn’t find “GREEN” tortilla chips so I made my own using Halloween Cookie Cutters, Spinach Tortillas and baking them at 400 for 8 minutes.

Halloween Appetizers

DAY 3 ~ MONSTERS!!!

Halloween Monster Chocolate Pretzels

These are so easy to make – you can find the recipe here.

My co-worker made Pumpkin Cake Pops a la Bakerella ~ sans the faces though.

DAY 4 ~ Checker “Bones” Cake

My co-worker makes these cakes using a cool pan insert , I need to find one – so fun!

Zesty’s Caramel Brownies with a Marshmallow Halloween spin.

Can you believe I used an entire jar of Orange Food Coloring and this is as orange as the caramel got?  Oh well – you can go wrong with brownies, chocolate, caramel and marshmallows!

After “bribing” everyone with our Ghoulish Eats, it was time to bring them into the Haunted House.  We had so much fun decorating and my co-worker has so many cool things!

Cemetery

Yup, we totally put up black sheets with pvc pipe to hang our black curtains!

Keep Out

Then, used fishing line to hang lots of creepy things from the ceiling ~ totally safe 😉

We waited until the final day, to tell the story of the “Massacre at our Haunted House”.  We divided our cube into 4 separate rooms ~ The Dining Room, The Living Room, The Bedroom and The Kitchen.

You all ready to follow along….you just have to use your imagination and pretend to hear the Friday the 13th Theme Song as you read 😉

How to decorate your office cubicle

It all started when the “Grim Reapers” girlfriend invited him to dinner.

The Grim Reaper

We had everyone put their hand in the box to tell us what was for dinner….we told them it was brains, guts, fingers, eyeballs (but really, it was cooked spaghetti, green olives and pickles) 😀

What's for dinner

After dinner, The Reaper’s Girlfriend scared him by jumping out from behind the couch while they were watching “Friday the 13th”…..It didn’t end well.

And, he decided he needed a nap after all the “fun”.

The Bedroom

When he woke up, he headed into the kitchen, grabbed some eyeballs and

Prepared himself a snack…..

Before grabbing his “trick or treat” and heading out the door with his new friend!

Bernie The Crazy Bunny showed up at our door.

Our Haunted House won the contest ~ I am pretty sure it was the food ;)  I am so excited because it’s the first time we’ve ever won and we now get to keep the Fancy Best Decorated Cubicle Trophy!!

After the decorating contest, we had a costume contest.  The Husband made my costume ~ I was a Cow-Girl complete with Chaps, a “Dani” Buckle and Chaps! <3 him!
