HOLIDAYS
Get down to the spooky sounds of Fright Night by throwing a 70s Disco Demons & Divas Halloween Party.
Freak out guests with decor that spotlights Holographic Walls and Mirror Balls galore.
Dip and dunk into a Funky Fondue tinted green for Halloween and bring the Hustle back from the dead with a Disco Dance-Off.
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 20 oz. Swiss or Gruyere cheese
- 1/4 cup flour
- Green food coloring
- Bring two cups of wine to a boil over low heat.
- Shred cheese and toss with 1/4 cup of flour in a large bowl.
- When cheese is coated in flour, begin adding cheese by the handful into the boiling wine while stirring constantly. Allow each batch to melt completely before adding more cheese. When all cheese is added, stir continuously over low heat for five minutes until cheese becomes creamy. Remove from heat and stir in green food coloring tinting the mixture to your desired color.
- Open a fresh can of fuel and place in under your fondue pot. Carefully light the fuel and place the lid of the can back on top so that it's partially covering the opening; this will help keep the flame low as the fuel burns. Pour the cheese mixture into your fondue pot and set it on the base over the flame.
- Safety Note: Always use fresh canned fuel for your fondue, as old fuel can be dangerous.
Side ponytails, spandex and rainbow suspenders were just some of the signature styles in the 1970s.
Ask guests to come dressed in their disco best with a demonic touch, and suggest that some ladies “go glam” to celebrate the divas of the decade.
Offer fiendish fashion suggestions in the invitation like:
- Zombies with rainbow suspenders and roller skates.
- Devils with red spandex pants and platform shoes.
- Ghouls with satin caps and sequin jumpsuits.
- A “Travolta” wig for men and feathered “Farrah” hair for the ladies.
