The World’s Wackiest Pumpkin Carving Ideas

Remember when we used to feel so proud of our jack-o-lantern creations? Getting that jagged mouth to look just right always presented a challenge every Halloween, yet we looked forward to the experience. The best part was making those eyes glow and displaying the pumpkin creations for trick-or-treaters.  These days, pumpkin carving has taken on a much larger role. There are now large-scale carving contests that dole out cash prizes in the thousands and artists who vendor out their carving expertise on All Hallow’s Eve.  We pulled together some great images that display exactly how pumpkin carving has evolved. Take these pumpkin carving ideas and create some of your own. Happy Halloween!
