Gruesome but Edible Halloween Food!

There are many ways to be festive and creative when it comes to making interesting Halloween food. One of the most common ways to show Halloween spirit through cooking is making snacks in shapes of the holiday's associated spooks. For example, you can make cookies in shapes of little ghosts, or sandwiches in shapes of pumpkins. Some people will even go the whole 9 yards and make a completely edible haunted gingerbread house.

There are other things you can do besides just outlining witches.  Maybe you can find some ideas from this list:

* Peeled grapes are a classic Halloween food that is used to simulate the feel of eyeballs to people who have been blindfolded. Most people know this trick by now, but there are still some you can really make wonder about it, and get a few squeals.

* Thankfully not as irritating as peeling grapes, the next is spaghetti. Most people use this for brains. If you want, you can add a green food dye for alien brains. You would be amazed at how real it can look.

* One of the grosser suggestions is putting something unusual in a bowl of red, yellow, green, or even blue Jello. You could put a weird looking baby doll, a fake finger, or simply decorate the top of it to make it look like a melting face.

* A Halloween food that you can use as something you can snack on, as well as use for pranks is a boiled egg, or a marshmallow. Using either of those, you can pretend that your eye fell out. Maybe tip some of it red, or put a little pupil on it. It's advised that you use marshmallows that have been made into little balls. Carry a few of those with you and trick multiple people through the night. Note: If you go with a handful of eggs to try this one, you may start to smell unpleasant.

* Different fruits are good for some entertaining Halloween food. If you carve some apples convincingly into small pieces, you could have someone who is blindfolded believe they're feeling knuckles that have been freshly removed. You could also do that with pears, or even peaches. Another fun fruit idea is to take some cantaloupe and cut them into little slivers. When people feel those, you can tell them they're tongues that you've just taken out of the freezer, explaining the stiffness.

You can probably come up with quite a few spooky food ideas, but if you need the help, snag any of these to attempt to scare and gross out your friends.

For these Halloween decorations, you will need a flat bed sheet as the base for your ghosts. This can be an old white one, or even a colored one, just as long as you can make several ghosts from it. Using a pair of nice sharp scissors cut the sheet into 6 inch squares and set them aside. Gather rocks that are approximately half dollar sized, or pinecones, if you live in an area that has them. You will also need plenty of string, yarn, or ribbon. The choice on this is yours.

Now, you are ready to assemble your ghosts. Center a rock or pinecone in the middle of one of the squares you cut previously. Take the string, yarn or ribbon and tie it so that it makes a small ghost. Make as many of them as your materials will allow. Once they are all assembled, take them outside and choose your tree. Hang these fun little ghosts on as many branches as you like. You don’t need a pattern. Just hang them wherever you think they look cute. When there is a breeze, you will be able to watch these little ghosts swaying back and forth, just like a “real” ghost! You will find that everyone who sees these Halloween decorations will stop and watch them.

Most people will not see these eyes from far away, but any friends or neighbors who want an up close look, will enjoy this extra feature. If you choose to make larger ghosts, the eyes will be more easily seen. Giving your ghosts a mouth is another variation. Simply use the same marker you used for the eyes, and draw an O shape for the mouth. Then just color it in.

There is no end to the different ways you can add to these Halloween decorations. After you have made a few of them, you might find yourself doing all sorts of different things to dress them up even more. The ghosts are easily stored after Halloween is over, and can be brought out for years to come to be enjoyed all over again.

Take any black shirt you may have laying around and use that as your starting point. This can be a t- shirt or a sweatshirt. Whatever plain black shirt you have will work. If you don’t have a black one, navy blue works just as well. You can make a full skeleton costume by adding a pair of black pants, such as sweat pants. Pieces of cardboard and white chalk, or fabric chalk, are other supplies you will need.

Skeleton w/ Light Up Eyes  How To Make A Halloween SkeletonOnce you have your supplies assembled, you can get started making your Halloween skeleton costume. Cut the cardboard to fit inside the arms of the shirt, if you have chosen a long sleeved one. Another piece of cardboard should be cut to fit inside the chest of the shirt. Once the cardboard is inside the shirt, lay it on a flat surface. Use your white chalk or fabric chalk to draw bones on the shirt. If you happen to be doing this for a child, let this be a learning experience by explaining what bones go where as you are drawing them. Even if you aren’t an artist, this will still be fun.

The bones you will want to be sure are there include the neck bones, back bones, ribs, and possibly the hip bones. You can add gloves to the costume if you want, and draw in finger bones. The design for your Halloween skeleton is limited only by your imagination.
 
Not only is this costume rather spooky, but it can be made on the spur of the moment. It is one that can be worn for Trick or Treating, or to an adult party. So, it is quite versatile. To top off the costume, you have the option of either painting your face white, or wearing a simple white mask.

However you choose to make your costume look, you will know that it didn’t cost too much money, and it will be just the right size. That’s even more of a reason to create your own Halloween skeleton costume.
