Guacamole:
Place avocado in a large bowl; smash with a fork or pastry blender. Add remaining guacamole ingredients; stir together until blended.
For Frankenstein's Platter:
Spread out the guacamole, leaving some room at the top to arrange the blue corn tortilla chips for his hair. Cut an olive in half and place on the guacamole for his eyes. Place small dollops in the centers of his eyes. Use a whole or half of an olive for his nose. Cut 4 strips from a red bell pepper and arrange for the scar on his forehead. Arrange some matchstick carrots for his mouth. Use whole or olive halves for the bolts in his neck.
Serve immediately.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, if needed. Guacamole will start to discolor within 1 day.
