Post your Halloween pictures here!

These are the pumpkins that are still lit outside:

Boo Kitty


Sorcerer's Apprentice


This one broke my favorite pumpkin saw and took close to eight hours from the time I started gutting it to the time I stopped carving.

WOW!!!  Those pumpkins look amazing!    How in the world did you carve Mickey's eye's and not have them break?

[kbmum]

Thanks! The insides of Mickey's eyes were the first parts I carved.  They definitely would have broken off if they were carved after the face was done.  I brought the pumpkins inside so we could enjoy them before the kids went to bed.  I was sooooo sad to see that they were all ready starting to shrivel and curl, and parts of the masts and sails on the ship are drooping. The next time I decide to do a difficult pattern, it will be on an artificial pumpkin.  It's just too much work to have it last for less than 24 hours.

I'm not being rude or anything but are your pumpkins in the US a different variety to ours or do you all have super strength and totally killer knives?

I've always been delighted if I can achieve 2 relatively straight eyes, a triangle for a nose and sharp teeth, but you all seem to be super-talented, patient and just all-round marvelous at Halloween

Nice one... (she says jealously!)

Super strength, totally killer knives ... and let's not forget intelligence, good looks, wit, and a hot bod!
