’tis the time of year when resolutions are made and broken. Best laid plans, like shedding those holiday pounds that so easily found their way into your winter wardrobe, are easily brushed aside when life, or rather work calls: A conference in Vegas, clients in Chicago, a company retreat in Tuscon. Living out of a suitcase really puts a cramp in your workout regime. No one wants to run into their boss while sweating like a pig on the stationary bike, and anyway, running hamster in the hotel gym just gets monotonous.

The King of Pop has been synonymous with Halloween ever since his breakthrough short-film-slash-music-video, “Thriller” hit the airwaves in 1983. Michael Jackson’s dance moves thrilled audiences when the video premiered on MTV, featuring iconic choreography by Michael Peters, (who was also responsible for the slick moves in “Beat It”). Featuring werewolves and zombies straight out of the mind of Rick Baker, “Thriller’s” zombie dance number has been replicated by prisoners, wedding parties and teenagers, making it an ubiquitous touchstone of pop-culture.

Coming up with a cocktail menu for All Hallow’s Eve is a devilish task. Finding beverages that do not mimic blood, guts, or unnatural ghoulish greens proved difficult. Most Halloween cocktails fall on a scale between saccharine and gimmicky, putting me dangerously close to my personal hell which is laced with candy corn and a chaser of Skittles-flavored vodka.
