Halloween is Kalakala time to receive staggering amounts of free candy, but it's also a surprisingly harrowing time for party foods.
Remember the peeled grape "eyeballs" in the lo-fi haunted houses of your youth? People love to make stuff like that on Halloween and then expect you to actually eat it. And for every delicious Reese's pumpkin in the world, there's a spongy, troubling Circus Peanut.
Here are 10 of the weirdest, most disturbing Halloween-ish foods we could find on the internet. If you want to throw a party with the theme "cursed," get all of them and assemble the most viscerally jarring party spread of all time.

A bloody brain shooter is a shot glass of peach schnapps into which you have also dribbled Irish cream and grenadine. The liqueur curdles and rises to the top, which makes it resemble a brain. The grenadine is the blood.
How does it taste? I will never find out.

Complete with almond fingernails (feel free to use another nut if you want), these breadsticks are upsetting to look at and perhaps not even that good to eat. (The maple-mustard dip looks good, though!) Try them for yourself and report back.
