We had a potluck one year for Halloween and were asked to bring scary foods. I went the easy route: got a quart of hummus and added green food coloring.
A lady named Oksana had the best one, though. She did deviled eggs. But instead of slicing them longways, she sliced and stuffed them through the top. Then on top of each, she placed the bottom slice from a tomato. Then decorated the tomato with mayo or sour cream dots from a pastry bag. Stand them upright in the deviled egg platter and surround with greenery and Voila! you've got a lovely grove of poisonous mushrooms.
One Halloween I brought the Whizzo Quality Assortment into the office. Ordinary candies, procured from the Bulk Foods aisle, but labeled with their descriptions from the Monty Python routine....
I once brought roadkill to a scary food potluck. Some turkey jerky with cranberry sauce under it. Actually pretty tasty if you could get past the appearance.
