It’s finally spooky season, and I couldn’t be more excited! Today I’m sharing how to make a spooky Halloween charcuterie board inspired by the iconic Scream movie and Ghost Face himself. There’s nothing quite like serving up some ghoulishly good snacks to kick off your Halloween party. This board is the perfect mix of creepy and delicious. Guaranteed to wow your guests and send chills (and cheers) around the table.
Last weekend, we unveiled our pièce de résistance at a thrilling neighborhood Halloween gathering: a hauntingly delicious charcuterie board that stole the show, featuring a Brie cheese carved into the eerie shape of Ghost Face from the Scream movie. And let me tell you, it was a howling success! The best part? This spooky creation is surprisingly simple to put together, even if you’re juggling a brood of little monsters. You can either channel your inner artist and freehand the carving or play it safe by printing off a Ghost Face stencil to guide your knife.
🕸️ The Trick to Crafting a Spooky Halloween Charcuterie Board
Ingredients
Optional: blackberries, candy eyes, or dark chocolate pieces for an extra spooky touch
1 wheel of Brie cheese (for your Ghost Face centerpiece)
Assorted cured meats — prosciutto, salami, and pepperoni all work perfectly
A mix of cheeses — cheddar, gouda, and blue cheese add variety and flavor
Fresh fruit — blood-red grapes, strawberries, and crisp apple slices for contrast
Crackers and breadsticks for that satisfying crunch
Olives and pickles to add a savory, briny bite
How to Assemble
- Make the Ghost Face:
Use a small knife to carve Ghost Face’s features into the Brie. Remove small portions of the rind to reveal the creamy white cheese beneath. - Build Your Base:
Place the Ghost Face Brie at the center of your board. Then, layer crackers or breadsticks along one side to form a base for your meats and cheeses. - Add the Meats and Cheeses:
Fold or roll your cured meats and place them around the Brie. Add cubes or slices of your chosen cheeses, balancing colors and textures for visual appeal. - Fill in the Gaps:
Add your fruit, olives, and pickles next. Let the reds and deep purples pop against the lighter elements — it’s all about creating a moody, eerie vibe. - Finishing Touches:
Sprinkle in candy eyes, dark chocolate chunks, or fresh herbs like rosemary for a final touch that’s frightfully fun.
