Dia de los Muertos meets Night of the Living Dead Fiesta

[LivinEasy]

Yes, that is this year's Halloween party theme. I'm just wondering if you crafty craftsters have any 'must-do' decorations, games, general suggestions. We already have lots of great ideas but I wanted to see if there was any more input out there. We're pretty good on the Dia de los Muertos part of it (altar, food, flowers, etc.) but I need more Night of the Living Dead/zombie ideas. I've already looked through the other zombie party ideas on here and have gotten some good stuff but always want more.

I X-posted this on the Party planning Board.

I've not read the other boards, but if no one's suggested it, I recommend taking a rubber dishwashing glove(preferably a new one, unless you're lax about germs), filling it with some sort of orangey-fleshy liquid(I reccommend guava and orange juice for a zesty flavor, and the guava adds opacity. Otherwise a bit of milk will do the trick), pin it hanging from the cuff in your freezer, and once it starts solidifying, drop in some green, blue, or red food coloring for that veiny, cadaverous look. Let it get nice and solid overnight, then plop it into a big bowl of darkened punch. Voila.
