* ''WebVideo/LoadingReadyRun'': The skit ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FUIAGi_rvmw Wedding Time]]'' is about a man who's been hired to do "catering" at a vampire wedding.

** A quest added in the Anniversary Edition of the game actually has the name "Guests For Dinner". The player character is invited to a feast in a lavish mansion and handed a menu as they enter, and there are two ways it plays out. Either it's a normal menu and the party is ambushed... or the menu lists the other guests and the player character is a vampire. Either way, the first course consists of the other invitees.

* In ''WesternAnimation/TheLandBeforeTime 5'', the dinosaurs are invited to dinner by their friend Chomper, a T-rex. Chomper actually did mean the invitation to be a friendly get-together, but the main cast is understandably a little freaked out. A song ensues. ("Friends for dinner / Don't want to be friends for dinner...")
