Thanks Mystik.
I could have put more detail into them but it was taking ages to get the basic done. I came up with a good way to skin them: use a power drill with a little grinding drum. Way faster than using a knife.
After I was committed to this design, I came up with 2 more ideas, so I'm good for a couple more years.

I have thought of dressing up. But the kids that come are spread across all age ranges. I don't do cute well, and if I were to do scary the younger ones would be traumatized for life. Maybe one year I'll figure out a happy medium and do something inventive.

Cool, Winter! I roast the seeds, too.
Okay, party's over. Into the composter with you guys.
I don't think the one one the left realizes the gravity of the situation. The one on the right, however, seems to have always known things would go downhill.

I do too, but recently I've developed a mild allergy to them. Now if I eat them it makes me puke.

Not for the faint of heart, though.

Well I guess it's mild when you compare it to someone who swells up and his throat closes.

I was allergic to Bees from the age of 3 to 15 years old. 1 sting, & i would blow up like a ballon. Couldn't breath, it was freaky.
I feared the Bee for many years, lol. I got stung about 5 years ago, and that fear came back, but nothing happened, just normal swelling & some pain, thats it

It's not over 'till it's over. According to today's newspaper, there is a neighbourhood in the far end of town where they line up all their jack-o-lanterns the night after Halloween and walk around admiring them.
This is actually a photo the paper ran, though it looks like a painting:
It's incredible what some people do. While I was handing out treats I was watching a couple of programs on HGTV showing the elaborate decorations some people put on their houses. And I read that in part of Toronto, some homeowners put a stage across all 5 of their houses and put on a Halloween play.

has anyone ever seen on tv this one town takes all the jack-o-lanterns, and smash them on the street. Then they go sledding on them, down the street.
