We often have the stormtroopers over, and I always feed them. Grown men can naturally eat a lot. I tend to go towards soups, chilis, or a roast in the crockpot. They tend to feed many for less money.

When my husband threw a zombie party, we bought an inexpensive white sheet at target and hung it from the dining room ceiling. He borrowed a projector from church and projected the movies on the sheet, which served as a large screen. I did homemade foods like burgers and black-bean salad. Chips were bought on sale. Homemade dessert and cut up fruit and veggies. We had quite a spread for very little money. I even bought little popcorn boxes for holding individual servings of popcorn. I doubt we spent more than $30 or $40 on everything, including the sheet for a screen.
