The 10 Best Jack-o-lanterns of 2008

Still wondering what to carve on your pumpkin this Halloween? Try your hand at one of these creative, incredible designs!

With his incredible realism and creepy smirk, Gollum may just be the scariest thing you’ll encounter this Halloween.

This is one carving that made me look twice. It’s a very creative use of an oddly-shaped pumpkin.

Here’s a symbol we all recognize. Minimalistic, but effective.

Mmm…now, who doesn’t like Pumpkin Pi?

Heeere’s Johnny! This is the scariest carving I’ve ever seen… was anyone else creeped out by that movie?

The Corpse Bride, on the other hand, I absolutely loved. This is a great depiction of Emily, and very Halloween-appropriate.

I had to include the political candidates in there somewhere, obviously. Strangely enough, there aren’t many McCain pumpkins…hmm…wonder why that is…

Dunno how appropriate this is, but it made me laugh, so I included it. It also kinda reflects my sentiments toward the V.P. candidate above it…. hmm…

I love pumpkin carving, but I haven’t done anything that detailed!
