True Blood Halloween: Merlotte’s Party Theme

So you want to plan a themed Halloween party and you really don’t have a clue what theme to use? Fortunately, True Blood is loaded with ideas for this Halloween’s festivities. Why not go for a Merlotte’s theme!

Start by creating your Merlotte’s Bar & Grill atmosphere. You’ll want music and decorations to reflect a Louisiana bar and grill. Check out our list of songs featured in seasons one and two of True Blood for ideas and downloads, and create your own playlist. They are mostly rockabilly and down home country, so have fun with it!

Merlotte's Bar

For decorating ideas, head over to our gallery for the photos Mel and I took on our set tour of Merlotte’s back in April. We were so impressed with the attention to details that we saw there, we grabbed some high resolution shots that should help you out. Grab some bottles of
Tru Blood for your guests and store them in a bucket full of ice to keep them chilled. And don’t forget to include some Louisiana Hot Sauce scattered about on some tables.

Do you need some ideas for your menu? A couple of those photos from Merlotte’s in our gallery include a nice big shot of Sam’s menu behind the bar. We’ve already given you some ideas on drinks that are sure to delight and entertain.
