There’s nothing more gruesome than when you raise your carving knife high, stab your victim, rip out his entrails, then carve a face into his hollowed-out carcass. It’s the kind of activity best enjoyed with family and friends, so that you can compare results at the end of the slaughter.
Of course, I’m talking about pumpkin-carving, yay! But some pumpkin artistes start from truly terrifying inspiration, too.
Since Xenomorphs are all about chest-bursting, is there some kind of dramatic irony in carving them into the chests of pumpkins?
Somebody call The Exorcist, I think this one’s possessed. And it’s spitting up pumpkin soup!
You wanna know how I got these scars? …It was a geek with a carving knife.
All pumpkins are naturally gingers, so your favorite demonic doll Chucky makes a pretty good Jack-o-Lantern.
Pumpkin Freddy Krueger doesn’t appreciate your insensitivity. He’s a burn victim, and you fill him with candles??? #WTF
Don’t let this one psychoanalyze you. He just wants to eat your liver with fava beans and a nice chianti.
His mom never gave him any space at the pumpkin patch, and now he’s a lil bit Psycho about it.
The most Predatory of the patch, this one wants to hunt you down for sport. #shudder
Ron Swanson is not amused. If you want to carve his likeness into something, it should be meat, not a pathetic vegetable.
Now someone just needs to make a Dolores Umbridge Jack-o-Lantern. That would be TRULY terrifying. Post your scary Jack-o-Lanterns to our Facebook wall, and maybe they’ll make it onto this list!
