For the last three weeks now, I've told myself almost every night that I should carve the pumpkin I have sitting on the dusty corner of my living room table. The issue? I have no idea what cute little face I wanna implant on that sucker. So I did a little digging for some inspiration this morning, and now I can honestly say that I've found some of the most amazing and creative jack-o'-lanterns ever created.
As in, some people have some fantastic pumpkin carving skills.
Like, more fantastic than fantastic, actually. As in — I hope to be nearly as good at something over the course of my lifetime as these pumpkin carving masters are at slicing and dicing a Halloween gourd. Seriously, there's a life-like horse, a VW bus — even one that looks exactly like Miley Cyrus! Not only are there some serious skills displayed here but some really genius ideas.
Please, read on to see 10 jack-o'-lanterns that will blow your mind — and hopefully provide you with some offbeat, creative and out-of-this-world inspiration for your own Halloween pumpkin carving.
Have you ever branched out of the standard smiling jack-o'-lantern?
Horse
I stare at this and can hear the horse neighing.
'Wizard of Oz'
I think this is right after they hear Oz's great and powerful roar for the first time.
Johnny Depp
So. Spot. On.
Beware
Spooktastic, right?
'Despicable Me' Minion
Okay, so technically this guy isn't carved, but come ON — those goggles are fabulous!
Cannibalism
Those are pumpkin seed tears, people.
Volkswagen Bus
The windows could use a little bit more work, but that's a pretty inventive idea.
Miley Cyrus
Can you hear that? That's "Wrecking Ball" playing in the distance in your mind.
Ninja Turtle
So which one is it? Leonardo? Michelangelo?
Walter White
Something Breaking Bad fans can most definitely appreciate.
