Ghosts and goblins and witches, oh my! On that most frightful of holidays, host a Halloween party for kids, complete with eerie decorations, clever costumes and spooky treats.

Young party-goers will ooh and ahh when you serve "dirty" popcorn balls: sticky balls of popcorn rolled in cookie-crumb dirt, complete with gummi worms peeking out. Blood-red punch, poured over ice cubes with creepy-crawly spiders imprisoned inside, will make kids giggle and squirm with delight. And gooey caramel apples are always a popular treat with pint-size masqueraders.

Set out pumpkins for carving and a tub of apples for bobbing, and you have the makings of an evening filled with bewitchingly good fun!
