Heres another creepy recipe for Deviled Eggs

To hardboil the eggs, put the eggs in a large saucepan, and fill with water until the eggs are fully covered. Put the full pan on the stove and bring to a boil over meduim heat. As soon as it reaches a rolling boil, remove from heat, still covered, and let stand covered for 20 minutes. As soon as the 20 minutes is up, run cool water over the eggs so they stop cooking. Once cool, refrigerate until ready to use.

Peel the hardboiled eggs and slice in half lengthwise. Gently pop out the yolks into a separate bowl. Once all the yolks are in the same bowl, add some mustard and a little mayonnaise to taste just so the mixture sticks together. Blend with a fork, then put the yolk mixture back in the hollows of the egg halves. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

"Bloody Fingers."The idea is to have a hot dog that is cut in half with ketchup around the place where the fingernail would be. You would need to stick a toothpick in it I guess.

And I know you didn't ask for punch ideas... but get lime sherbert and sprite, and mix it together in a punch bowl. Then get dried ice and place it around the punch bowl. It will look really cool! Hope I was of help!
