Halloween: Is there something spooky you can do with oranges?

[BroccoliSpears]

I have a vague idea there is, but nothing is springing to mind.

Something with teeth maybe?

Cut them in half/quarters with a zigzag pattern to look like teeth? do you just want the ornages on their own, or with something/in something?

Cut them in half, scoop out the orange, fill with red jelly and let them set. Cut them into segments once set and call them blood oranges!

Hmmm - maybe the zigzag teeth thing. I just have a surplus of oranges and a halloween party to go to. Something is niggling on the edge of my brain - I'm sure we used to Do Something with oranges.

Draw pumpkin faces on them in perm marker

or just draw pumpkin type face on skin.baby pumpkins

twiglett posted this link the other day, well worth a look

i just clicked onto that link and got "Zac and Piri(?)make a porno"....!?!!!!

oh mine doesn't sorry about that, click go to wacky archives on the page

Are you thinking of christmas oranges stuck full of cloves that dangle in wardrobes? They're pretty terrifying.

Or, you can cut a segment of orange and cut scary teeth into it, and fit it into the front of your mouth - we used to do that all the time, not just at halloween.

Oh yeah, that's what you are meant to do, cut teeth out and turn the skin inside out and put them in your mouth

I think we had the skin the right way out and had orange teeth...

the turning inside out was in one of those really glossy "follow these rules or you are a bad parent and not fun" books

Oh God, you have just put the creeps up me, reminding me of a game called 'Lord Nelson' we used to play at parties when we were little. It involved someone dressing up, blindfolding people. and putting your finger in the squishy bit of an orange - we were sacrred for life........ (Maybe it was a bit quiet in Norfolk in the late 70s....??

SCARRED - sorry!

Yes we did that except it wasn't called Lord Nelson, it supposed to be a donkey's bumhole.
