This was VERY popular last year so I’m reposting for your Halloween viewing pleasure.
Enjoy.
I love Halloween but I’m not much of a punkin carver. However, I love looking at them. Here’s a bunch of the coolest punkins I could find on the web.
Well, except this one. It was taken by my wife:
From her Flickr page:
I’m posting this in honor of my father whose favorite holiday was halloween. Every year until I was 18 we carved pumpkins together. They were all night projects carving crazy detailed pumpkins of things like skeletons and wolves.This photo was taken in college for my senior project of mixed lighting. It was taken with a Pentex K1000 inherited from my father. I’m posting as a thank you to my dad who gave me both an appreciation for the carved pumpkin and a love for photography.
First, here are a few awesome ones from Pumpkin Way. I love these so much I made myself some computer wallpaper which you can see HERE
Way more after the jump.

One more. This one is from two years ago and was carved by my wife from two of our garden peppers:
Okay, one more. Not a punkin but scary nonetheless. This is me, Eclectablog the Plumber, on Halloween in 2008. My wife and I stopped by the Arbor Brewing Company in Ann Arbor for a beer after a hard day’s work preparing for the weekend’s GOTV effort we were leading. Who should walk in but Sarah Palin. This picture was actually on the Huffington Post!
Happy Halloween!
