Spooky Jell-O shots are a staple of any legit Halloween party. You can make them colorful, candy-filled, or even alcohol-free for the under 21 set – but why? 

Get the kids to sleep early and bust out these Halloween Jell-O shots for your adult friends. Unlike garbage punch with dry ice, you'll need to spend time preparing these Jell-O shots for a Halloween party. Some of them require the right molds. All require time to cool and congeal, which anyone who's made Jell-O shots already knows. 

These Halloween-themed shots can complement your other spooky foods and turn your party up to 11. The best drinks to serve on Halloween come in many shapes and sizes, but all feature an extra spooky touch and a hefty kick. Just remember to drink responsibly – you don't want to end up with a Hallo-hangover.

    This idea is so simple, yet so ingenious, it's a wonder that Jell-O "shots" haven't already taken the bar scene by storm. If you prefer a bloody red mixture, try Bonnie Harris's video. If you're more into Re-Animator-inspired serums for your shots, grab some electric green gel food coloring and check out Bread Booze Bacon's tutorial.

    Brit + Co puts a spin on the Jell-O shot by combining gelatin "bones" with a blood-red cocktail. Mold the white gelatin in a skeleton ice cube tray, and add extra booze on top. It looks spooky, but tastes delicious, thanks to whipped cream vodka and strawberry cream soda.

    The culinary geniuses at Brit + Co have a Jell-O filled, alcoholic take on candy corn... AKA the candy you eat a lot of in October, but only in October. The key here is to layer the gelatin to mimic candy corns' signature stripes.
