Every party needs a pizza, but not just any pizza – a Haunted Mansion Pizza with Ghosts.
This haunted pizza is so super cute along with an easy ghostly solution for an epic pizza. Simply by using provolone cut into ghost shapes, this pepperoni pizza transformed into a great themed dish.
The ghosts are made of provolone cheese cut into ghost shapes. To make this look, first, cook the pizza. Then, add the cheese ghosts on top so that they keep their shape.
Be sure to remember to have appetizers for pizza party as well.
Ghost Strawberries
So easy to make but perfect for the theme. Dipping strawberries in white chocolate is the perfect ghostly menu idea.
Made of fresh strawberries dipped in white chocolate. Chocolate chips for eyes.
Ghost Crisps
Okay no these are just the cutest ghosts. These are a nice crunchy bite.
Ghost crisps made from wonton wrappers. Get step-by-step instructions to make these here.

Ghost Pancakes
Who says ghosts are just for dinner! Make a pancake in the shape of a ghost.
Add chocolate chips for ghost eyes and mouth.
Strawberry Ghost Pops
Similar to the ghost strawberries above, these are made into pops.
Strawberry ghost pops can be simply made using a strawberry on lollipop stick. These strawberries are then dipped in white chocolate and topped with candy eyes.
Make both the pops and non-pops using basically the same ingredients.
Haunted Mansion Graveyard Theme
Ghosts in the Graveyard
You really don’t have to be an artist to make this one. Using a dip and a selection of dippers, you can create a savory haunted dish.
This is so silly but something anyone can make. Using a veggie dip or hummus and placing a variety of food items in it making it look like a “graveyard.”
Graveyard Dip Platter
This platter is haunted mansion party ready!
The dip is described as white bean and parsley hummus topped with chopped black olives.
Haunted Mansion Graveyard Dirt Cups
Easy dirt pudding cups make a colorful addition to the table.
This quick and easy pudding based dessert has all of the haunted mansion vibes.
Haunted Wedding Cake
The haunted bride of the mansion is serving up some yummy wedding cake.
This cake looks like a delicious way to showcase Haunted Mansion food ideas. If you don’t want to make cake from scratch, you can use a simple cupcake with white icing and red food coloring or red sprinkles.
Daisy's Umbrella
Daisy’s Cheese Umbrellas
Make these easy appetizers out of cheese and a straw!
A little something different for Haunted Mansion fans. Make Daisy’s umbrella for an easy (not so haunted) treat.
Daisy’s Umbrella Food Cover
Cover any of the Haunted Mansion dinner ideas with this decorative cover.
Creepy Spider and Skeleton
Creepy Spider
The haunted mansion is crawling with spiders and so is your dinner table. These cute fruit spiders are simple and easy to make.
Use black or purple grapes and a plum or medjool date for the center. The spider is held together with toothpicks.
Veggie Skeleton
Using dip for the face of the skeleton and your favorite vegetables for the body, you can create this haunted appetizer.
Don’t forget parsley leaves for the skeleton “hair.” I think that simple detail really makes this come together.
