Flaming hell! This pumpkin must be equipped with some kind of super flammable candle as the giant flame from the top of its head has given it a fiery do. Have some water handy for this hot character.
So That’s How He Got In…
Did Barrack Obama scare his voters into making him US President? There’s some incredibly detailed carving at work here. Perhaps it should be renamed the Fright House?

This is the effect you’re after! When the lights are low the eerie glow of not one but three mischievously glowing jack-o-lanterns is sure to get your party going in style.
Toronto Pumpkin Lantern
Perhaps the artistic maker of this Canadian pumpkin lantern got a little peckish while carving and baked pumpkin pie before fetching the paper and scissors. Take note the poorly prepared who forget to get down to the grocery in time.
A Welcoming Fright
The central pumpkin of this terrifying trio welcomes Halloween revellers, while the foreboding haunted house and howling werewolf designs on the other two might just have them running away with their forked tail between their legs.

The artist behind this haunted house jack-o-lantern has skilfully worked the pumpkin skin to create a poltergeist ridden property even the best estate agent couldn’t shift.
Check Out Those Choppers
Every dentist’s nightmare! This titanic toothed terror has a face only a mother could love. Keep your fingers clear, that’s a frightful overbite.
Pinocchio Pumpkin
Why don’t jack-o-lantern’s have noses? Oh, wait a moment. A strategically placed carrot was all that was needed to give this pumpkin a snout to scream about.
