With CNN highlighting a story about a macabre yard haunt that had some people bent out of shape, the question is: When does a haunt go too far and become more offensive rather than just an awesome display of artistic darkness?

After watching the video of how people reacted, I had to think to myself: If they feel that way with that yard haunt, they would surely freak over mine – especially my Zombie Babies.

In no way do I wish to be offensive. For me and many other fellow haunters, we’ve grown up watching the weekend Double Creature Features, Kolchak:The Night Stalker, and other spooky tales. Continue reading →

Half the fun on Halloween is sampling the novel treats that people bring to a party. The Jello Worms, The Mayor Cupcake from the Nightmare Before Christmas, witch hats, and the list goes on. Yet, the gruesome ones can be the most exhilarating. They push you to see if you have the guts to eat something beyond the regular aesthetics. Almost like a Fear Factor episode.

Here are some ideas for gruesome culinary creations that will help your friends squirm at your next party:

Baby Doo Doo Poop Balls or Shapes

Baby Doo Doo Brownie Balls:

You’ll need:

1 Brownie Mix

1 Bag of Candy Corn

1) Make the brownies following the package directions, including the baking instructions. Do not over bake. Once brownies are cool enough to touch, grab about a tablespoon of brownie in your hand and roll it into a ball or shape into a turd. Push one or two candy corn into the ball, allowing them to slightly protrude.

Bloody Band-Aids

You’ll need:

Graham Crackers

White Frosting

Red Jam or Jelly

Directions: Break the crackers up into sections (half a square per band-aid) and place white in middle to represent the gauze and a dot of jam on top. Don’t forget to display your crackers with a few band-aid wrappers on the plate.

My First Homemade Chocolates

I’ve always been curious on how hard it would be to make those homemade chocolates. Since I decided to make 2 cauldron cakes for my upcoming Halloween Bash, I needed some body parts and gruesome edibles to hang out of the pot.

Since Gummi Bears are pretty tasteless, I chose to try my hand at candy making. They are not perfect, but sticking out of a cauldron surrounded by other scary edibles, I think they’ll work.
