Gross Halloween party foods are always more fun on a stick - even for zombies.
A nice dipping sauce on the side of a skewered light meaty bite is always an undead crowd pleaser at Halloween parties. Zombies will appreciate the effort spent on creating a dish that is not only revolting in name, but uses delicious fresh meat in a creative way.

For those still living in attendance at a zombie event, a nice rare steak skewer with a side of spiced tomato sauce is also a good choice for a Halloween appetizer offering.
