Tounges on Toast
8 slices white bread
8 slices bologna
Mustard
Cut each slice of bread into the shape of lips, with a slit in the middle. Cut the bologna into strips that look like tounges. Insert the bologna into the slits in the lips(so it looks like the tounges are hanging out of the mouths). Cover the bread with mustard and broil until the bread is golden brown.

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!


BLOODY DEVIL DOGS
Hot Dogs
Hot Dog Rolls
Ketchup

Cook hot dogs as you would normally, on the stove or grill. Take the buns and, with CLEAN scissors or a knife, cut out little triangle on the top part facing out. When done, the bun will look like a mouth with the upper teeth showing. Place hot dogs inside the bun, then put on ketchup.

***get BLACK JELLO by mixing blue food coloring in red jello.  From what I learned in art school about color mixing, dark brown and dark blue mixed together make the most convincing black, so perhaps use cola for your jello liquid in lieu of water, and add blue food coloring (do they make blue jello?).  I'm sure you could come up with many disgusting jello colors by experimenting with food color and dairy products. Archie McPhee online has brain and heart shaped jello molds.  I made a yummy GRAY JELLO for my brain shaped mold one year by combining green and red jello, and added softened cream cheese to make it opaque (before it set up).  You have to cut back slightly the amount of liquid when you do this.  I just added the hot water as directed and used a brick of cream cheese and no cold water, and it set up in the mold OK (using 2 regular size boxes of jello and a regular sized brick of cream cheese).  Of course, I've always felt that the regular old clear Knox gelatin is pretty disgusting on it's own.  If you flavor it with pineapple, lemon or lime juice, it will retain it's lovely jiggly clear pale urine color...

Here's one I just recently saw in one of Martha Stewart's kick ass Halloween guides: 

REST IN PEAS

Put out a bowl of peas (in cream sauce, if you like - I think they make a frozen version of peas and onions in cream sauce that would work juuuuust fine).  Cut out bread slices in the shape of mini headstones.  Toast them.  Put the crouton "headstones" into the bowl of peas... instant "graveyard".

Here's an old standby for little kids...

SWAMP PUNCH - make a nice punch (cranberry juice, frozen orange juice WITH PULP, and gingerale, or even just plain ol' orange juice WITH PULP) and then add some green and blue food colouring until it turns a sort of yucky grey colour - mmmmmm....The PULP is very important 'cause it looks TOTALLY DISGUSTING when it's all gray and that stuff is floating around on top. The kids said, "Do I HAVE to drink that?"

***In the punch you can float A FROZEN HAND - take a plastic dishwashing glove and fill it with red koolaid or cranberry juice or red fruit punch. Then freeze it carefully, trying to keep all the fingers from bending too much. When frozen, carefully peel off or cut away the glove and place the frozen hand in the punch (one of the fingers broke off mine and it looked pretty cool floating around in there! Hah!) Float a little light plastic spider or two in the punch.
