Another good one is the brain veggie tray. You use a whole head of cauliflower and cut a whole in the center to put dip in. Then you peel 2 radishes for the eye balls (make sure to leave the roots on the radishes, they look like optic nerves) and use a toothpick to attach the red part of an olive (I can never remember the name of them) to the front of the radish. It looks scary, but not too scary. Garnish with mixed veggies or crackers.

Ok, one more! Witches Fingers This one I made last year by following the directions on this site http://www.britta.com/HW/HWr.html#fingers

The only things I did differently were I added green food coloring to the dough to make them more "witch" like. Then, after the fingers cooked, I peeled back the finger nail and added a bit of red gel icing and pressed the finger nail back into place. It was pretty gross!! But the cookies were really good!!

i love the pumpkin throwing up idea!!!

LHALLOW what a great idea about the cauliflower, do you put that stem side up or stem side down?

This is one of the grossest things I'd ever seen, and I've always wanted to try it, but I think I'd need a 5 man army to help:

Cat,
You put the stem side down. It works well because its creepy, but not too gross that people avoid it! I have good pic , I just have to get it into the computer[:I]

I would have responded to this earlier, but I just saw it. Sorry 'bout that - we've been on vacation. :-)

The recipe was pretty basic:

2 bottles of Rioja or Merlot
15 oz. Cranberry Juice
4 oz. Rum

I just couldn't believe how much people loved it. But, I'm not a big drinker. I much preferred the champagne punch we did for the New Year's Eve party. It was much more... sedate.

This year, in keeping with the voodoo-esque theme, I want something green and glowing. I was thinking of putting in those glowing ice cubes, but while those are pretty cool, I don't think it's quite the effect I'm going for. Maybe Modori, pineapple, and rum - then dunk a block of dry ice in?

That sounds great!!!
Iam making jello shots does anyone have any favorite jello flavors or suggestions.

Happy Haunting!!!
