Pumpkin carving inspiration

Hi all, we are going to our friend’s annual pumpkin carving party tomorrow. We have raised the bar over the last several years, creating some great pumpkins; The Pumpkin King and his retinue (lots of other carved veggies in fear of the scary gourd lord), The Pumpkin of the Opera (a white pumpkin “mask” over the natural puckers and scars of a damaged regular orange pumpkin), a Pangolumpkin with artichoke scales, a Frankinpumpkin’s Monster (did you know you can stitch bits of different coloured pumpkins together?!)…

Anyway, we’re stumped. My darling wants to do something big involving PVC pipe “legs” but I’m not inspired.

Any help? We’re not hugely artistically inclined, but we have this reputation now…

There’s one. Just google image search “pumpkin carving ideas”. Some might be too elaborate, but I bet you’ll see something that will inspire you.

I saw these the other day and thought they were pretty awesome (pumpkins carved to look like an open pumpkinhead with brain exposed).
