Step #1: Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with cold water. Bring the water to a full rolling boil over high heat. Cover the saucepan, remove it from the heat and let it set for 15 minutes. Drain the water and cover the eggs in the pan with cold water and several ice cubes. Let them stand about 10 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
Step #2: Peel the hard-cooked eggs and slice them in half lengthwise. Remove the yolks and transfer them to a medium bowl; set the whites aside.
Step #3: Using a fork, mash the yolks. Add the mayonnaise, dry mustard, salt, paprika, and garlic powder; mix well.
Step #4: Add a few drops of blue food coloring and mix well to turn the yolks an eerie green. Divide the green yolk mixture evenly between the holes in the egg white halves.
Step #5: Position 1 black olive slice on each yolk-filled egg to resemble the iris. Add a pimento or piece of bell pepper to the center of the olive to resemble the pupil.
Step #6: Cover and chill in the refrigerator until serving time.
Step #7: Just before serving, use a toothpick dipped in red food coloring to draw veins on the egg white to resemble bloodshot eyes.
