Details
Locate several boxes such as large shoe boxes -- boot boxes are great -- laundry detergent cartons, copier-paper box, etc. Check at the office supply store. They frequently have sturdy boxes of various size to give away for free.
The boxes should be large enough to permit a hole to be made on one end so that a hand can reach in and feel what is inside. Be sure you can still get into the top or back to add the "contents."
Add a different spooky item to each box. Carefully, line up the boxes on a table or stack them on the floor so the sides with the hand-holes are handy. Drape a black cloth over the top everything to conceal all but the front of the boxes. A few fake cobwebs, dust (cocoa or baby powder), and plastic spiders will add to the illusion.
As each brave guest reaches through a hand-hole to feel inside, be sure to mention what you think is in there...
And what is inside?
-eyeballs (peeled grapes or wet olives)
-intestines (wet cold spaghetti)
-liver (a half of a canned peach)
-skin (oil a piece of plastic cut from a storage bag)
-skin (an oiled, soft flour tortilla)
-fingers (hot dogs or cheese sticks)
-teeth (unpopped popcorn)
-hair (an old wig or saved silk from corn on the cob)
-brains (gelatin -- let it set-up in a bowl and then unmold onto a plate. You might want to lightly texture the rounded top.)
-brains (freeze and thaw a big piece of tofu- -soybean curd- and round off the edges)
-hand (Fill a latex surgical glove with water, drape it over a bowl to give it some shape and freeze it. Just before the party, stick it in a tray of dirt, sand, or rice so your guests have to feel around in the dirt for the "buried hand".)
-bones (save chicken bones from the next roasted chicken you have. Scrub them well before using.)
Remember everything should be cold or slimy and as gross as possible. Have fun!
