Food is a must, so serve simple options like chicken fingers and pizza, or go for Mississippi favorites like Captain Rodney's dip and themed cookies. For drinks, consider making a Halloween cocktail for adults or a ghoulish green punch for younger guests. Have activities like corn-hole, pumpkin carving, and Karaoke, and decorate with traditional Halloween decorations along with Mississippi touches like fake alligators.
