This was VERY popular last year so I’m reposting it with very few changes. I simply don’t have time because, well, we’re just GOTVing our little hearts out here in Ann Arbor today (and tomorrow and Tuesday…) I have added a handful of new ones before I head out the door.
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
Here’s the Big Mac punkin:
An irregular punkin and some spray paint can make for a creeee-eeeepy punkin:
Cool elephant punkin:
Here’s a selection of amazing punkins from Villafane Studios:
Here’s the Vogue (yes, that Vogue) punkin. Totally not kidding:
(It used to have How-To Instructions online but, alas, they are no more.)
A scary jQuery for the geeky coders out there:
The United States of Punkins:
On the patriotic theme, we have the Statue of Liberty punkin:
One for Pulp Fiction fans, it’s The Gimp punkin:

Okay, can I just say some people are overachievers???

And another one from Villafane Studios:
And a Spider Man punkin!
And the closest thing to a Daily Kos punkin I could find, it’s the Pi punkin (or, as many in the Comments have pointed out, more accurately “Punkin Pi”):
Now for a handful of new ones.
This is a job for . . . PUNKIN MAN!
Owie. That’s gotta sting…
Even punkins like noms.
Did I happen to mention that some people are overachievers? Seriously, dude, this World of Warcraft one is over the top.
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!
I’m just sayin’…Happy Halloween!
