I am so jealous of the outside setup that you have!

It looks like you have had a wonderful time!!!

Wow! So incredible, the amount of effort and attention to detail!! Mind boggling!! You have set such an incredibly high standard, and I am so pleased that you shared this with us all.

Up the edge for me too. I take 3 days off for Halloween (2 days prior + Halloween), the first 2 days are spent 100% carving, Halloween itself is spent finishing decorations (interior/exterior) and getting everything ready for our annual Halloween house party. I've typically planned 80% of what I wil...

They look awesome. I'm jealous that you can do that many. I did 8 this year and felt like that was pushing it, but the impending threat of downpours doesn't help. I hope you get lots of people out to see them. :thumbsup: Thanks Ajax for the kind words. The only catch with doing 20+ pumpkins with co...

Quick photo shoot, it's 4:00am, and I am beat!

Happy Halloween!!

That's it for 2019. All pumpkins carved, and only 1:20am!

Now to setup the photo shoot and get to bed before 3:00am

Kids helped me out this year, Jaxon (6) did Boo and Demi, Jaydn (12) did Annabelle. They are worn out now and no longer asking to carve anymore today!!

Bravo, I like how you have your list prepared. You have a game plan. Which is necessary, when you're attempting that many carvings. But you also realize that you might need to scale back. So work on those high priority ones first, I guess. Can't wait to see what you do! Thanks for the kind words Ry...

The raw material for 2019....

Pumpkins for 2019 by Andy Sharp, on Flickr

I still keep with Stick 'n Carve, but I have to think about which part of the design to carve first, and think about what impact that that might have on other areas that have yet to be carved. Speed being the key when you know that the transfer is going to start to disintegrate. I've not messed up a...

Can't wait to see them all! I used to do at least 10 to 13 each year. Sadly, I can no longer do that due to medical problems with my hands and wrists. I have 5 this year and really trying to add a 6th. but I'm not sure I can find any real pumpkins this late in the game. Hi Raven, thanks for the pos...

The addition of this new design and some of the other new designs has certainly put my initial plans up in the air and left me in a pickle as to which designs to include and quite how I can achieve all of this in the time frame available.....argh! My mind is melting......

Incredible!!!!

Any Brian Lumley fans in the forum? I was surprised to see no mention of the author in the forum, or the Necroscope series of books.

Not that those are the only books that he has written, but I have always been a huge fan of the Necroscope series over the years.

Yay! Great new design, couldn't figure it out on my phone web browser, glad to say much better via a PC. I would have guessed "Scream of the Zombie Pumpkins!"... which suddenly reminds me of "Carry On Screaming!", I sooo adored that film as a kid! Made my boys watch it recently and they thought it w...
