worm pie.
you take a pie crust – oreo pie crusts work good. Then you put peanut butter and cookie crums down and then fudge on top of that, then marshmellow, then top it with gummy worms…
I think you should make some guacamole and load it with little balls of wasabi paste to freak carrot dippers out, syringe to chocolates with tabasco and make devilled eggs too, with a pretend spider under the deviled part for a laugh

where i usually go for ideas..
Here’s one recipe.. Go to this site and type Halloween in search or look at everything they have in appetizers to get ideas.
These are the famous disgusting cookies that look like cat poop (rolled in Grape-Nuts, which makes lovely fake kitty litter.) I first saw it on the original urban legends list nearly 15 years ago.
There are two flavors-chocolate(dark brown), and gingerbread(light brown).
A warning from the contributor:
I seldom measure carefully so amounts may need adjustment, especially on flavoring. The cookies are dense and not very sweet, this is necesssary so that they will keep their shape during baking. If you use white flour or sugar they may be tastier but they won’t look like $#+!.

Chocolate ingredients:
1/2 cup honey
2/3 cup (1 and 1/3 stick) butter, margarine, or lard
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla or peppermint extract
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
Grape-Nuts(tm) cereal
Gingerbread ingredients:
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup molasses
2/3 cup (1 and 1/3 stick) butter, margarine, or lard
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla or peppermint extract
2 1/3 cups whole wheat flour
Spices (ginger, cinnamon, cloves) to taste
(suggest with 1/2 tsp each)
Grape-Nuts(tm) cereal
Mix-ins (to your level of tolerance):
Coconut (Tapeworms)
Chocolate Chips
Butterscotch Chips
Peanut Butter Chips
Cooked Spagetti or Ramen noodles (Roundworms)
Corn
Peanuts
M & Ms
Shrimp Chips (Styrofoam packing)
Microwave the honey till it bubbles(about 1 minute). Add the butter, (I’ve been told using lard makes for a more realistic texture and softer cookie) and the molasses, if any. Add the egg, mix well, then mix in all the other stuff. add mix-ins of your choice to some or all of the batter.
Chill 1 hour in the freezer or several hours in the fridge. Roll dough logs of random length and the diameter of cat poop. Roll logs in Grape-Nuts and bake at 350 degrees till done (maybe 20 minutes.
Serve in a disposable cat litter box on a bed of grapenuts, with a cat litter scoop. Improved effects can be achieved by decorating the box and scoop with melted chocolate or pudding. The contributor has heard that "mixing brown sugar with the Grape-Nuts sweetens up the cookie a bit while still looking truly hideous."
MEXICAN TACO DIP:
1 (8 ounces) package cream cheese (softened)
1 (16 ounces) pint sour cream
1 package Taco Seasoning Mix
2 to 3 cups lettuce, chopped
1 tomato, chopped
1 small onion, chopped
1 (8 ounces) Cheddar Cheese, shredded
1 small can olives, sliced, drained
Tortilla Chips
Mix together cream cheese, sour cream and taco seasoning mix and chill overnight. The next day smooth mixture in a pan. Top with lettuce, tomato, onion and shredded cheese and olives. Refrigerate to chill. Serve with tortilla chips.

I have done many Halloween parties and let me tell ya, trying to get the food part of the theme is ALOT of work and in all honesty, not worth it.
I’m having a party too and we are doing all snack/appetizer foods this year. My advise is to present the food items on Halloween themed trays and serving platters that can be used again and again.
I TOTALLY AGREE with "katz" You are way better off making the food taste great & serving in Festive Halloween trays. You can always make some sugar cookies and cut out in Halloween shapes. They sell cookie cutters every where for Halloween. Also cup cakes with orange frosting and a plastic spider on top are always fun.
What ever you do, make this very easy dip & serve with Corn Chips. People love it & think you worked hours on it.
1 tube HIGH QUALITY pork sasauge (16 oz) no cheap stuff
2 (8 oz) packages of cream cheese
1 can Rotel Tomatoes OR 1 cup of salsa
Crumble and brown sasuage. While still in skillet, add cream cheese and melt together. When melted and creamy add Rotel, (check for stems…I’ve found a few lately) stir until blended well. Serve warm with Tortilla chips. SO YUMMY!
Colorado kool-aide and mini shrimp.
The colorado kool-aide makes the mini shrimp look like maggots.
Make a sager cookie recipe – form the dough into a finger shape (just a tube really) – use almonds whole or cut in half as fingernails. use green food coloring if you want.
