How to Make a Holloween Punch
Take a bunch of grape juice and a bunch of fizzy stuff (club soda, ginger ale, lemonlime, whatever). Mix them in a punch bowl. Take orange sherbet and lime sherbet. Scoop out scoops and float them in the punch, let them melt a little so that a nasty film spreads all over the top of the punch but there are still "bubbles" in it in the form of sherbet scoops. Looks horrible, tastes just fine.
Bartender Tip
For an extra spooky effect, consider adding gummy worms or eyeball candies as a garnish.
