Halloween Pumpkin Masterpieces to Kick Start Some Creative Carving
Posted October 2nd, 2009 at 12:06AM
I know, I know, it's still early in October, but I want to see a freakload of Halloween pumpkins this year, peeps!
So I'm calling you out early to top the following masterpieces of the gourd.
And to, you know, point out some designs that need not be seen again anytime soon. Not because they're not great, but because I want new ones!
Just so you know, I've added five more pics, because I ain't getting enough pumpkin action -- get to work! I wanna see 'em.
Note: I avoided the pumpkins carved with stencils because I'm sick of the Yodas and Snapes and ETs that all look the same. Plus, that's just cheating -- so remember that when you feel compelled to download one of those free patterns.
Smile!
I SAID SMILE
Keep it up
Mmm... okay, you can stop smiling now...
From the "Before you do it, remember, cannibal pumpkins eating baby pumpkins has been done already" file:
Speaking of pumpkins that have been done before (but still make me laugh)...
Always feel free to do this, however:
Heeeeee! HEEEEEE!
I want new pumpkins! Original stuff! Like this:
And this
And I absolutely want more of this
Then again, I'll never be sad to see this 1000 times over:
Know of a pumpkin that oughta be in this list? Go ahead and post it below -- I NEED ME MAH PUMPKANS. (Or send me a message -- maybe I'll post it here!)

To be honest the first one is scary looking for real. Ill try but I cant carve a pumpkin to save my life !
-
Is the last one a pumpkin axe murderer a la Friday the 13th?
I still think it is cool, I just am not 100% sure what exactly it is depicting. Awesome post here. Happy Halloween! [I can't believe its already Oct.!] -
Pumpkin cannibalism... who thinks of these things?!?!
Thanks for sharing. I think I now have pumpkin envy. -

i lover your enthusiam over pumpkins !!!! i think there cool but im crap at carving them lol
-
awesome! double awesome for not going the stencil route....i am strictly freehand myself...;)
i am inspired to carve the one i picked up just today, but afraid it will get funky before Halloween! :P -
well, getting 'funky' could make whatever you do it even more, well, ghoulish.
After living in my old neighborhood for 25 years, I am now in a different house in a different community. I might have to go around to my nearest neighbors and ask them what Hallowe'en is like and how many kids do they usually get. I would like to decorate and encourage children, but I also have to be careful answering the door, as I live alone and in a somewhat transient area. Perhaps I'll have to have a friend over that evening.
Gee, I'm glad for the smiles of the pictures (LOVE the first one; so sinister) and the reminder of an old favorite tradition. Thanks! -
SMASHING PUMPKINS! lol
-
These are the coolest looking jack-o-laterns I've ever seen. I especially like the ones throwing up the seeds, it shows extreme and unusual creativity. Have a Happy Halloween and have fun craving more pumpkins this year.
-
yeah, so those cannibal pumpkins are funny, but im going to do a revenge pumpkin where all of the little guys are attacking the big pumpkin. i haven't worked out logistics, but it's gonna be good. i've done some searching on the internet and haven't found anything like what i wanna do, so it should be original! yeah!
-
This is an awesome jackolatern-Thanks for sharing!
-
Those are too cool!
-
Excellent creativity. I think my favorite is the 3 with the beer bottles and the pumpkin snowman. Very clever. Thanks for sharing :D
-
It's soo great!! love it! ^^
-
dudedrama and Jake; you are starting to make me think you are a little bored with this recommendation
-
Totally inspiring. I think I will do a carving this weekend! :)
-
Alas, my kids are old enough that I have retired from the pumpkin carving business and have allowed them to take up the art. I once did an Elvis pumpkin that was pretty cool... but - because I'm a never-take-pictures kind of mom - I don't have photos. I also did Cinderella one time. And I never used stencils.

This is a great post!
