You Know You’ve Finally Hit the Big Time When You’re Immortalised on a Pumpkin

Some people can do amazing things with pumpkins. No, they don’t just carve boring spooky faces on them and make pie from the remnants; they use them as tributes to their idols. Why not take inspiration from these talented individuals and carve your own “celebrity” pumpkin?

Sick of carving triangle eyed, pointy toothed pumpkins for Halloween? Why not try getting a little bit more creative, just like these people did, and carve yourself a celebrity (I’m using this term very loosely) pumpkin…

Told you I was using the term loosely. No offence Jay… Honest. Still, it does look a lot like him though doesn’t it? I shouldn’t judge, I can’t even handle the afore mentioned triangle eyed, pointy toothed pumpkin carving myself.

I’m actually really impressed with this one! How do people do these things? So, no attempts at bad jokes for once! Is that a sigh of relief I hear?

Apparently… Even if, at first glance, I did think it was Harry Potter. *shrugs* My mistake! You have to admit there are a few similarities. Or maybe I just need to start wearing my glasses at the computer?

Ok, so he’s not really a “celebrity”, more a fictional character, but this one is still pretty impressive! And creepy too, for that extra added Halloween factor. Speaking of creepy…

Michael Jackson

Sort of… Ish… I think… Ok, so it didn’t actually say it was Michael Jackson, but I think it is… It looks like a bit of Jacko meets the Joker really, doesn’t it? Hmm… either way, it’s downright creepy if you ask me.

Sponge Bob

Again, not really a celebrity… more of a sponge who wears square pants. I’m loving it though… But does anyone else ever think he looks more like a mouldy old piece of cheese than a sponge? No? Must just be me then… I’d still rather have a conversation with him than with this next fellow…

The only reason I can think of for carving this man into a pumpkin is to take pleasure in smashing it to pieces once you’re done. Again, that may just be my personal opinion though… *avoids all jokes about the pumpkin being more intelligent*
