Jack was done on a small foam pumpkin from Michaels with the Versa Tool. Night Owl was a little rough but the pumpkin walls were so thick. :( I tried to thin them with the gutter, but the back side was cut off the pumpkin due to frost and I couldn't quite get the drill in far enough...

They all look fantastic! Amazing job. I tend to group mine all together in one big pile, but I really like how you spread yours out so it would take people more time to view them and appreciate each one. The prop with bicycle girl is a great idea. Really nice display you had this year. Ryan you have to admit Deadite Ash is getting carved alot probably should add him to the main site next year :wink: . Along with a true Evil Ash with skull helmet to match.

Thanks Ajax. I have a fairly large space to work with so I try and make good use of it this time of year. I also had 2 hanging in a scraggy looking crab apple tree and a couple on the opposite side of the driveway as well. I do have an issue with lighting though. :( Something to work on for next year.

As a side note, where do you live in NB? I am in Fredericton. :)

That's a great display and they look great on the lawn. 33 ZP! patterns is true minion status.

My favourite photo is Frankenstein's Monster and Bride at the Altar. Very cool.
