Ride
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fires burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of a newt and toes of a frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like demon-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Cool it with a baboon's blood,
Then the charm is firm and good.
Shakespeare
For deep red ice, try cherry koolaid. Can even be frozen inside a plastic glove, now this really adds some snap to a punchbowl!Mystery Punch
6 eggs, hardcooked, cooled, and peeled
6 oz whipped cream cheese
12 green olives stuffed with pimientos
Red food coloring or ketchup
Half eggs widthwise. Remove yolks and fill the hole with cream cheese, smoothing surface as much as possible. Press an olive into each cream cheese eyeball, pimiento up, for an eerie green iris and red pupil. Dip a toothpick into ketchup and draw broken blood vessels in the cream cheese.
Bug Bites
Color cream cheese green, put pickle slice on cracker, add lump
of cream cheese and stick in two almond slices to look like wings. Can add small olive pieces to look like eyes.
Bleeding Heart Jello
The Preparation: The heart is made from red jello with a some evaporated milk added to make it opaque. The blood is honey or kyro syrup with red food coloring added. Place the 'blood' in a small ziplock plastic bag and submerged in the jello. I guess you could use any mold for the jello but a heart shape really looks special. The Presentation: A heart shaped mold sits innocently on a platter. When peirced with a sharp knife it oozes blood red sauce. The effect is disgusting , but not bad tasting. When you've gathered everyone around for the cutting, be sure to use a fairly sharp knife so it pierces the bag. Also, the best effect is when the center of the heart is pierced, then the knife is twisted. This oozes blood out of the "wound" and looks gross!! If you have a "hearty" crowd that wants to dig in, just remember to remove the bag! (I've heard of a halloween gag, but this is ridiculus!)
Dead Man's Meatloaf
Use your favorite recipe, but instead of shaping it into a log shape it into a corpse. Legs together, arms folded across chest. Bake as usual, but before serving, stab the poor guy in the heart and dump ketchup on him. Guaranteed to gross out just about anyone!
Very simply, make little chocolate "logs", like Tootsie Rolls, and serve then in a foil-lined box, on a bed of sugar-dusted Grape Nuts. Make sure the family cat is clearly in evidence.
Dirt Pie
Make or buy a graham cracker crust, either chocolate, vanilla, or plain. Fill it with chocolate pudding and top with grapenuts. Gummi worms make a nice finishing touch!
1 whole cauliflower 1 recipe of your favorite spinich dip radishes assorted raw vegetables, crackers for dipping Cut florets from the top of the cauliflower until you have a cauliflower 'bowl'. Remove greens from bottom. Cut stems from radishes, leave the root, remove skin. Using toothpicks and food coloring, draw an eyeball on the flat part of the radish (where the top was). The root will look like the optic nerve. Fill cauliflower with dip, garnish with radish 'eyes', serve with veggies and crackers.
Pus Pockets

Place on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. until the pitas are browned. Remove from oven and poke a hole in the top of the pita until the cheese oooozes out. Dab tomato sauce around cheese and enjoy.
