The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike, No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm, So hallow'd and so gracious is the time.

Hamlet, William Shakespeare

Halloween may have Celtic roots from long ago but it's a holiday that is still very much alive. This year, FDL offers you a complete guide to planning your very own haunted gathering. Learn how to carve a pumpkin skull and brain and make spooky treats like blood-filled vodka shots or eyeball panna cotta.

Add a wicked touch to your party by whipping up your very own frozen banana ghosts or citrus jack-o-lanterns. It's not a party without drinks so here's how you can make a keg out of a pumpkin - which you can pour just about anything in: beer, sangria, punch...you name it.

If you happen to be in London, you can't miss the erie but cool exhibit at The Pathology Museum of London, which has prepared a series of cakes that look just like organs. They may good enough to eat but scary enough to pass - as you'll see for yourself in these images of ear cupcakes and other gory cakes.

If you need more ideas for Halloween, check out our top 10 list of scary foods, our collection of Halloween recipes and our pumking A to Z. Last but not least, don't forget to dress up as your favorite foods with these fun Halloween costumes for foodies.

Happy Halloween!
