The vomiting pumpkin thing is an oooolllldd zug prank, that one everyone links to isn't hargrove's pumpkin, but I remember reading about him doing it a long time ago
here.
I stopped carving pumpkins a few years ago, they go bad too damn fast. Instead, I paint them and get nearly as good of results (and more detail then my shaky hands can get with a knife). I did three last year, a forest with thorn vines and living trees, A haunted graveyard, and a pumpkin with a vampire face on one side, the grim reaper on another side, and a black cat on the other side.
Didn't have as much time this year, so I whipped out a pumpkin that looks identical to the one at the very beginning of Sleepy Hollow (the one on the scarecrow that the guy sees before the horeseman cuts his head off and the blood splatters on it). It looks damn creepy
🙂. I think I'm going to try and find one of those foam pumpkins and building a scarecrow like that one for my balcony.
I have some pics of the pumpkins from last year somewhere, but I think they're on a CD back at my parent's place
