    Haha yeah I did :) My mom and our computer can confirm that. Basicly I've seen cannibal pumpkins, and barfing pumpkins. So I thought, why not combine them? Is it too much to ask for both? So I took a pair of old jeans, cut the leg off, stuffed a bunch of socks within a sock to get a leg, and then stuck and old shoe on the end. Add the guts from both pumpkins as vomit, and then some Sticky Fingers Tennessee Whiskey BBQ sauce for blood, and ta-daa! :D It got alot of comments from the neighbors :lol:

    EDIT: Wait, THIS particular picture is on the internet? Or just the idea? :eek:

    GTS.... I was thinking of starting a thread like this the whole weekend... you beat me to it...

    I didnt get to carve a pumpkin last year since I was in the middle of a move. But this year I really wanted to do one....

    So... I carved my favorite horror movie monster Freddy Krueger... I did this Saturday night.... Trick is with a heavy detailed carving is to leave the inner pumpkin a little on the thick side. All in all it was a success and after a few drinks when I was done I was proud 8)

    Me? Oh, nothing in particular.....:angel:

    It was quite a project - not to mention a huge mess on my porch! The trick-or-treaters loved it, though - especially the boys!

    i always get "monster" pumpkins. in the 100 lb range . but the weather wasnt good for growing that type this year. :( but lucky for me , a friend just offered me a 200 lb white pumpkin. anyone wanna come help me load it? lol, i will end up carving it with a reciprocating saw to start because the walls will prob be close to 6 inches thick. but i wil ldefinitely post pics when carved.
