Halloween, aka definitely the most important holiday of the year, is almost upon us.
For those of us who have an affinity for the macabre, the costumes, the parties, or just love any excuse to eat a copious amount of sweets, Halloween is one of the most important holidays in the calendar.
In many households, the run-up to Halloween is treated in a similar way to Christmastime, with people adorning their houses with decorations like fake cobwebs, skeletons and, of course, a pumpkin or two.
But coming up with the right pumpkin carving idea can be tough – after all, you can’t exactly rub out your mistakes or start again if you change your mind halfway through!
As those of us who love a good scare dive headfirst into the most wonderful time of the year, we’ve put together some pumpkin carving Hallowinspo for anyone who doesn’t fancy doing the same zig-zag mouth again this year…
Pumpkin carving ideas for Halloween 2019
Scary in a totally different way, puking pumpkins (centre in the above Insta snap) are enduringly popular and pretty easy to pull off at home – all you need to do is keep the innards of your pumpkin and make it appear as if they’re coming out of its mouth. Delightful!
Subtly unsettling for reasons hard to describe, getting a tiny personified pumpkin for your bigger personified pumpkin to eat can be as creepy or as kid-friendly as you make it.
If you’d rather avoid the sticky mess but still want to get involved with decorating, you could always paint over your pumpkins, rather than carving them up. What’s not to love about a doughnut-inspired pumpkin at Halloween?
If you prefer lols to creeps, you could also add hair, stickers and any other accoutrements you feel like if you want to make your pumpkin serve some realness.
If you want to tap into some less kid-friendly humour, you can always slap a nice pair of pants on your pumpkin, tuck a few notes into the waistband and call it a day. Chances are good that anyone you have round will never be able to look at a pumpkin the same way ever again.
Whether your brand of dirty humour is a tad more subtle or you’re studying for a human biology class, then something like the below should do the trick. It also has the added bonus of being super scary for anyone not actively trying to procreate.
If you want to go for the classic creepy pumpkin face, a great way to make it as scary as possible is to focus on how you carve the mouth – you can really drive the creep factor up by carving some intimidating teeth.
Sometimes simply carving a choice word or two into your pumpkin can also do the trick… And the best thing about carving ‘Brexit’ into your orange squash is that as well as being a creative carve, it doubles up as being super scary.
