Halloween & Evil Pumpkin Carving

So, Halloween’s over for another year.

I’m not a big fan of Halloween, but I do love the dressing up and the pumpkin carving fun. The ones above are my Three Amigos Of The Apocalypse, and great craic they were to create.

The pumpkin on the far left is Nipper. She started life as a vampire, but one of her teeth fell off! Thus Nipper was born.

The middle pumpkin is Evil and the figure inside his mouth is supposed to be a man trying to escape! Unfortunately, I cut the arms too thin and as the pumpkin dried out, one broke. Not having much luck this year, am I?

The final pumpkin was actually done this morning (a bit late..), but is my favourite at the moment. I call him Mungo. I cut out some small holes and then filled them out by punching through with a rolling pin which gave the eyes and ears a really round, smooth look.

Anyway, you can see more pictures of my pumpkins on my flickr photo feed. I’m pretty sure I did better carvings last year, but I can’t lay my hands on the photos (if there were any). If you’re looking for more inspiration for next halloween, try Extreme Pumpkins, Pumpkin Carving or Pumpkin Masters.
