Sargent takes inspiration from movies such as &#8220;The Blair Witch Project,&#8221; &#8220;Psycho&#8221; and &#8220;Halloween&#8221; to create eye-catching and tasty entrees, desserts and even cocktails.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not just a cookbook to pull out in October,&#8221; Sargent said in a statement. &#8220;My recipes are thoughtful and creative meals that can be served any time of the year.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Sargent also is an award-winning actor, director, producer, playwright and filmmaker. His cooking experience comes from his days working in restaurants and food trucks.<\/p>\n<p>The first recipe I followed was called &#8220;A Feast, Jones&#8221; (p. 37) based on &#8220;28 Days Later.&#8221; These omelet muffins made for a nice way to start a meal, including breakfast. I&#8217;ll likely make them again.<\/p>\n<p>From &#8220;Jaws,&#8221; I made the Bloody Floaties (p. 103). I liked turning Pillsbury Grands biscuits into donuts, which held bloody-looking red velvet ice cream.<\/p>\n<p>To quench my thirst, I made the Croaker Queen (p. 18), which is a mix of cran-raspberry juice, ruby red grapefruit juice and vodka. I&#8217;m not sure the cran-raspberry and grapefruit juices worked well together. For the more adventurous, try the &#8220;Man Cannot Live on Booze Alone&#8221; (p. 43), which has scotch, gin, bourbon and tequila in it.<\/p>\n<p>Of note, some of the recipes are more exotic. For example, the Alligator Bites (p. 29) call for a pound of alligator, and the Dog Bowl (p. 73) requires rabbit loin.<\/p>\n<p>You can purchase The Horror Movie Night Cookbook on Amazon.com and at Barnes &amp; Noble.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Image courtesy of Simon &amp; Schuster<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Themed cookbooks are always fun, which is why I accepted an offer to review The Horror Movie Night Cookbook: 60 Deliciously Deadly Recipes Inspired by Iconic Slashers, Zombie Films, Psychological Thrillers, Sci-Fi Spooks, and More ($19.95; Ulysses Press).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8480,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[279],"tags":[59],"class_list":["post-8478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-book-reviews","tag-cooking"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8478"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8478\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8483,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8478\/revisions\/8483"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eatdrinkmadison.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
