Have guests wear their goriest attire, you can even make a contest out of it.

Pumpkin Deviled Eggs
SHORT VERSION: Use your favorite deviled eggs recipe, but garnish with a chive or cut a small piece of celery for the pumpkin stem. Top with red pepper or paprika for a mild recipe.
Will Need:
Yields 12
Add eggs to a medium/large pot and cover with water. Set pot on medium heat, once boiling set timer for 20 minutes. Remove pot from heat and strain eggs into a colander, place under running cold water until cool enough to handle. Remove eggs from shells.
Slice eggs length-wise, remove yolks and place them in a mixing bowl. Set the halves aside for filling later. With the yolks mix in: mayo, mustard, salt and pepper. Stir until the mixture has a smooth texture. You can add more or less of any of the ingredients to taste.
Now you can begin either piping or spooning the mixture into each of the egg halves (about 1 Tbsp each), until the mixture is all used up. Cut a chive or celery stock into 12 small pieces for the pumpkin stems. Add the stems and sprinkle the yolk with either red pepper or paprika. Cover and chill until ready to eat.
Mummy Dogs
Will need:
Preheat oven to 375℉. Unroll dough and cut into 4 rectangles using kitchen shears. Take one section and cut into 10 strips. Continue with the remaining sections, making a total 40 strips of dough. With the cheese, cut the slices into 1/4 pieces.
Placing a section of cheese on the back of a hot dog, begin wrapping the dough around it making the appearance of bandages (use 4 pieces). Make sure to leave a space uncovered where the eyes will be. Continue the process with the rest of your dogs.
On an ungreased baking sheet, place your mummies cheese side down, leaving enough space between them to prevent from baking together. Cook for 13-17 minutes, until golden brown. Dot with mustard or ketchup for eyes.
Strawberry Ghosts
Will Need:
Rinse and dry strawberries, melt white chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl at half power. Stir in almond extract, mix until smooth.
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Dip strawberries in mixture and place on sheet, letting extra chocolate drip down to form the ghost tail. Freeze them for 5 minutes.
Melt the chocolate chips, stir until smooth. Using a toothpick, draw a mouth and eyes on each ghost. Refrigerate until ready to eat.
