Let's face it, you could make yourself a regular old Jack-o-lantern this Halloween, but what would be the fun in that? Much better to make something like this Mari-o-lantern - for one thing, it's a whole lot scarier, and it'll kick your friends' Jack-o-Lantern's ass. Well worth all the time and effort you'll put into carving the thing...
And if THAT isn't enough to scare the neighbours, may e recommend Extreme Pumpkins: 'pumpkin carving at its weirdest'. This wonderful site includes the basics on carving, an annual pumpkin contest and a wonderful photo gallery showing previous entries. They include worm-infested pumpkins, roadkill pumpkins and the now notorious puking pumpkin. A must-see before you get going with the power tools! [Via Shiny Shiny]
