Spooky Chicken Wings
If the sight of dark-colored wings don't gross you out then this recipe for you. According to this website, the recipe hopes to recreate what roasted bat wings would look like using black food coloring and marinade made with soy sauce. Wings are perfect finger foods and while it may be messy, they can fill up your guests. Not to mention, they look gnarly and go together perfectly with the theme.
Savory Demogorgon Meatloaf
Who could forget the Demogorgons from the Upside Down? Although the name was borrowed from a popular board game, Mike and his friends found it apt to label the monster as such because it could travel to different dimensions. While the Demogorgon is described as a tall humanoid, its most striking feature is its head that looks like a strange flower with its "petals" with sharp teeth which can unfurl to reveal a big mouth.
This recipe from the Starving Chef aims to recreate that look. If you're not too freaked out about digging into food that looks like it could devour you at any moment, then give this a try. It's surprisingly detailed, too as it uses onions creatively to simulate the "teeth." You and your guests will surely love this.
Eleven's First Fries
French fries were the first food that El ate when she first escaped above ground in Hawkin's Indiana. It was in a diner and as she first tasted it, she was so hungry that she couldn't help but take fistfuls of fries in her mouth. Fries are a favorite party food and they're easy enough to prepare especially when you can buy kilos of the frozen stuff from the groceries. Then again, it's only applicable if you have a lot of guests.
If you have a small gathering, consider making matchstick fries from scratch. They're thin, crispy, and oh-so-good that you'll want to shove as many as you can in your mouth. Here's a recipe that's easy to follow.
Upside Down Blood (Orange) Cake
What's a party without cake and what's upside down without its share of monsters and blood? Although blood oranges are completely harmless, delicious, and nutritious, they look almost gruesome because of its color. This recipe for an upside down blood orange cake is the perfect addition to the list of foods your party should have.
This cake may take a bit of preparation so its best to make it a day or two in advance. If you're a newbie baker, you can ask for assistance from a friend who knows a thing or two. You can also have this cake commissioned if the option is available to you.
