My First Jack-O'-Lanterns (Updated 10/10/10)

Since it is close to Halloween, I decided to try carving pumpkins. I did my first last Saturday and my second last night. Here are the results.

Last Saturday:





Last Night:





What do you think? Are there any veteran jack-o'-lantern creators here who can offer some tips?

[Frank Hipper]

Those are totally kick ass; maybe you should be offering tips instead of asking for them.

I was thinking Shaun of the Dead for the bottom two, but the second one isn't right. What are they?

Great job.

Great job.

The top images are a design from a pumpkin in a film called Trick 'r Treat and the bottom images are indeed from Shaun of the Dead. I know the bottom images look somewhat different from Shaun and his paddle, but that's because I chose a horrible pumpkin. You have to view it from different angles, which is why I snapped two different images. The first looks like he's wielding a sword or something and the second looks like his paddle.

And thanks for the comments.

It's a cricket BAT mate, not a cricket paddle. Bloody yanks

Instead of creating a new thread, I'm reviving this one. I just finished carving my favorite fictional movie serial killer onto a pumpkin. Sorry for the quality of the image with the pumpkin lit; I have a shitty mobile phone camera.

Damn dawg. That is fucking sweet. Micheal Meyers in his Shattner mask yeah?

Thanks. I'm not sure which mask that is as they change from movie to movie. It's on the cover of the Halloween 5 DVD. I think the original used the Shatner mask.

It was fun carving it, but after I transfered the pattern onto the pumpkin, I couldn't see it very well. So I had to draw it on with a pencil.
