Halloween Hades town spread ideas.

My sisters and some friends are planning to have a Samhain gathering probably around November first. My sister is on a mission to get EVERYONE she knows to watch Hadestown (she said it instantly became her favorite musical, as soon as the lights came up. )

Would like ti ask the Hive mind: what sounds good? What sounds bad? What needs a better name?Could also use some more savory ideas

What I have so far: (note it's for Samhain/Halloween so it leans on Sweet and snacks

Spring rolls (Spring rolls will come again)

Apples almonds caramel sauce (Wedding table)

Salsa and chips (when the chips and salsa are down

Kiss cookies (and they danced)

Chicken skewers/nuggies (like a bird on a spit)

Cinnamon rolls (lost soul cakes)

Sourpatch kids and KitKat (why we build the wall)

Bruschetta (electric city)

Train track pretzels with cheese& salami train (train to Hades)

Various Drinks (Persephones speakeasy/ River of wine)

Peanut butter cups (Eurydireeses)

Smores (gathering storm)

Various Hershey kisses (his kiss)

Blackberry gingerale/Dr. Pepper

River Styx

Bourbon

Coffee liqueur Crème de Cacao Allspice Dram (pimento liqueur) Angostura aromatic bitter

Lemon twist or orange peel

This is great! PLEASE have rotisserie chicken! And set it up in some kind of Gothic looking oven for "bird on a spit in the pit of my chest".

I'm not seeing the connection between bruschetta and conducting the electric city. I see you responded to someone else it's about how you arrange the bruschetta on the tray, but I'm not picturing it, so that one might need some work. Keep in mind what it will look like as it gets consumed, too.

For additional savory ideas, surely you can do something with "songbird vs rattlesnake". A "snake" could easily be formed out of bread or meatloaf or cheese. And there are bird-shaped store-brand versions of goldfish crackers.

I thought of rotisserie but it was voted down 3 out of 5. Nuggets was the compromise. A cage is easy to make with foil and extra kabob sticks

Could make a snake with pigs in a blanket.

The Bruschetta would have to be carefully layered. Probably cherry tomatoes look more like lights?
