Cal's Annual Halloween Image Dump - Pumpkins Part 2

Some pumpkins are carved so that they stand on their own. I highlighted those in my first pumpkin post. Usually, however, most people want to add candles or other lighting sources to their carvings to create that cool spooky effect we have all come to expect on Halloween. Unlike the old days when all you could rely on was your own imagination, you can buy commercial patterns that will allow you to create more sophisticated carvings.

The Creepiest Jack-O-Lantern Ever... In All It's Time Lapse Glory

I have seen some crazy ass Jack-O-Lanterns in my day... some of the scariest ones are full of attention and detail (just see Cal's pumpkin posts from yesterday and later today). But I have never, ever, seen anything that comes close to what Jon Neil created when he decided to take a pairing knife to his gourd of choice. This monster faced pumpkin will leave you with nightmares and have you second guessing pumpkin pie all the way to Thanksgiving! You can see a full size pic and a very cool time lapse video of the carving process after the jump. Enjoy it... and never eat pumpkins again!!!!

Freddy In Space & Frank Browning Bring The Silver Shamrocks Halloween III Mask's To Life... For You To Make Jack-O-Lanterns Out Of!!!!

My main man Johnny runs a killer horror blog entitled Freddy In Space... you might have heard me talk about it a few times (wink wink) here on CCD. Anywho, the reason why Johnny's site is so boss is because he realizes that he is a smaller blog and he can never compete with a bigger blog that has cooperate sponsorship. He isn't getting invited to film sets or uncovering hidden stories. So what he tries to do is create as much original content as possible .. and due to the fact that he is an awesome dude, he makes quite a few friends along the way who help him do just that. One of these friends of his is Frank Browning, and they have collabed on some very creative things. But this newest collaboration certainly reaches all new heights. Frank has re-created the Silver Shamrock masks from Halloween III... you know, the ones that make the worms & snales come out of the faces of the kids in the movie! Yup that is the Pumpkin Head, Witch and Skeleton that lovers of the classic schlock movie know & love!!!! You can check them out after the jump, and even find a link so that you can download them in a full size to print out and make your own Jack-O-Lanterns out of. Check em out after the jump...
