It’s that time of year again! That freaky-deaky week leading up to the holiday that fantasy fans, horror geeks, and scifi nerds alike all treasure above all the rest: Halloween. If I could pull it off, I’d go “Holla!” But I can’t.
So in lieu of awesome slang, I’ll instead give you a little treat for your pumpkin-shaped candy vessel instead — ten of the most awesome Jack-O-Lanterns to be found in that screwy mess of a place we call the internet. So take a break from frantically sewing your Dumbledore costume and enjoy the pumpkins!
First up is a batch for all you Star Wars junkies out there:
This one just freaks me out:
Artistic AND evil:
Some gamer awesomeness:
Hated the movie, love the pumpkin:
A possible homage to Goonies:
Disturbing and funny at the same time:
VERY clever use of the stem, which is usually ignored:
And, okay, I lied. There aren’t ten here — there are eleven. Because when I saw this pumpkin I just about fell in love…
Happy Halloween! And if you have a picture of your own awesome pumpkin, give us a link in the comments!

Aah! I’m gonna have nightmares now. That was DISTUBING.
That’s right. Distubing. It undid my tube.
It was also disturbing.
When I was a small boy I had an hour bus ride home everyday from school. Each Halloween there was a house at the end of the road that the bus would make a turnaround and head back in the other direction. Well, every year around one week before the big “fright night,” whoever it was that lived in that house set out there Jack-O’-lanterns. All the children, including myself, would dash to the other side of the bus so we could get a gander at what the gourd-like-squash sculptors had created that year. These were the kind of things they would create. I think my favorite was a witch, very similar to the one pictured above. Tim - thanks for reminding me about the house at the bus-turnaround. I wonder if they still create their pumpkin masterpieces?
Absolutely awesome! I love the Gollum one the best, and the “they eat their own” second best
