Today is the day that I get to share an Easy DIY Terminus Walking Dead Party! We’re die-hard fans of the Walking Dead series and have been eagerly waiting for the October 23 premiere. And since my kids are too old for trick-or-treating, we’ve decided to do a Walking Dead party to celebrate the October season.
Since I like one-stop shopping, I headed to one of the best online places to shop for party supplies, Oriental Trading. I was easily able to find everything I needed for a Walking Dead party by typing in “zombies” into their search box and looking through their party tableware section.
To throw this party, these are the items I chose from Oriental Trading –
- Zombie Party Tablecloth
- Zombie Party Luncheon Napkins
- Personalized Small Zombie Party Vinyl Banner
- Zombie Table Decorations
- Zombie Party Dessert Plates
- Red Dinner Plates
- Red Cups
- Cutt-off Ear – used to create Daryl’s zombie ear necklace for wall decor
- Gumball Eyes – placed in jar
- Gummy Eyeballs – used in Bloodshot Eyeball Cupcakes
Terminus Walking Dead Party Set-up
If you’re a Walking Dead fan, you’ll understand the custom Oriental Trade banner. If you don’t watch the show, let’s just say that the people in Terminus were cannibals and would lure people in with the promise of a place of sanctuary, only to butcher and eat them – gross! So the sign, bloody tablecloth, napkins, and red plates/cups totally set the perfect atmosphere for a place of dining horror, don’t you think?
And since this is a Walking Dead party, I HAD to add zombie elements. The zombie cut-outs, zombie dessert plates, and Daryl’s Zombie ear necklace (made with five ears glued to twine) made perfect additions to the party table. Last, I created Terminus food to mimic a feast made from humans – ribs, Jell-O brain mold, giant femur bones , blood punch, and bloodshot eyeball cupcakes.
I can’t even tell you how much I enjoyed putting this party together. I loved the way this party turned out and plan on making this an annual party for every fall Walking Dead season premiere!

This looks like it was a fun, gory party! Very cool! Love TWD!
Oh my goodness! This is a delightfully disgusting party! I love all of your details. Inspiration for Halloween!
Thanks. This was a fun way to kick-off the Walking Dead season.
Love this!! We are huge fans of the Walking Dead, and my son just loves Halloween. These are great ideas for either a viewing party, or even a Halloween party!
Thanks. We’re impatiently waiting for it to start again.
this is so incredibly creative and equally disturbing. I also love oriental trading. I always want to buy everything they have.
That is so deadly adorable! Love this. Thanks so much for joining the DI & DI Link Party, I hope you found some new friends and had fun as well.
Have a great weekend!
Thank you. I did find some great posts to check out.
This is amazing and cool! I cam imagine the young kids having a blast in this party! This is definitely perfect for zombie fans.
Wow, now this is a scary Halloween party! The decor and food looks creepy… I love that you selected black and red as the theme. The blood splashes look so real, love it!!! 🙂
Meant *blood splatter LOL.
Looks like a super fun party!! I would love to be there!
That was fun for sure! Halloween is exciting and near to come. My kids would love this idea.
OMG looks like a lot of work!
Not really. The desserts can be made ahead of time and I have kitchen helpers – my kids.
That’s an amazing setup! I really love how accurate everything is, from Daryl’s necklace to the blood stains! It’s really going to be a hit with the guest, regardless if they are fans of the show or not.
This looks awesome ! Love walking dead
Very representative of the show!!!
My best friend is obsessed with TWD! I’ve never even watched because I’m terrible when it comes to cable. One day (aka winter break or summer) I’ll check it out.
Very nice post! My favorite is the gummy eyeballs cupcakes. I really like how you create this walking dead setup. I think it’s super amazing.
That is such a popular show. I imagine heaps of people would love this.
Okay, this is the best. I LOVE The Walking Dead.
I love this! My family is huge TWD fans, so I would totally do this! I am pinning it in case I ever host a TWD watching party! Thanks for sharing!
This is so cool zombie party! Love it!
Well, I don’t think Zombies are disgusting but I am afraid of them, LOL! (they might eat me!) You did such a great job with this party! I know y’all had the most fun with planning, decorating and eating those eyeball cupcakes and Jello-O brain mold. I would have enjoyed a hearty helping of those ribs! The red and black makes an attractive party setting.
Oriental has everything for any party theme. I’m looking forward to planning my next party and shopping with them again!
I am sorry but I think zombies are discusting. But there are party themes for everything. Have a great day!
Zombies are disgusting, but this party wasn’t really about the zombies. And yes, there are party themes for everything at Oriental Trading if you prefer something else.
