Since I can’t give a good reason to the contrary, let’s take a look at some pumpkins:
1. Harry Potter
Bonus points here for getting the lightning bolt scar to show up well.
2. Tigger
This makes my spider jack o’ lantern look pretty bad.
3. Where the Wild Things Are
Dang. I repeat – dang. This one uses the jack o’ lantern equivalent of woodcut illustration with impressive results.
4. Fone Bone
The most unexpected on the list? I’d say so.
5. Twilight
Aww, yeah. Smoldering inside and out.
