Carved pumpkins are pretty standard fare come Halloween, but if you can show the skull that lies beneath the orange skin then your pumpkin gets bonus points for creativity.
And the fact that this anatomical pumpkin probably looks even cooler when lit up from the inside by a candle makes this one peach of a pumpkin!
I’ve said this a million times, but I’ll go ahead and repeat myself for the first-time Neatorama reader: I loooooove Halloween. Halloween is like Christmas at the Conradt household. If I could keep my house decorated macabrely (I just made that word up) year-round, I absolutely would. Needless to say, I’m already in the mood for spooks and spirits. To help get you in the mood, though, we’ll explore the guts of classic horror movies you might find yourself watching on October 31.
Quick synopsis for those who haven’t seen it: The dead are mysteriously brought back to life and a mob of them swarm a farmhouse, where a bunch of people are holed up. Chaos ensues.
Would you believe this was supposed to be a horror-comedy? Well, you might, if you’re familiar with writer/director George Romero’s other movies. The first draft of what was then titled Monster Flick involved some teenage aliens who make friends with Earthling teenagers. Draft #2 is kind of a cross between draft #1 and the final Night: a man discovers a bunch of corpses in a field that were apparently used by aliens for food. Finally, draft #3 was pretty much the version that we know today.
It was produced for a mere $114,000 and has since grossed more than $30 million. Despite its popularity with audiences, critics didn’t much care for the film. When it premiered on October 1, 1968, Roger Ebert was upset that theater owners let kids in (there was no film rating system at the time). The New York Times said it was a “junk movie” and “really silly,” and other critics thought it was simply too gory. A few really loved it, though – Rex Reed said it was the epitome of a B movie turned into a classic. A few other quick facts:
• Taking a cue from Hitchcock, Bosco chocolate syrup was used as blood. George Costanza would be proud (or horrified, I’m not sure which).
• Similarly, when the zombies are eating bodies, they are really eating ham with Bosco on it. Ew.
• “Zombie” is never uttered. They’re usually referred to as “things”.
• Pay close attention to the graveyard struggle between Johnny and the zombie. Some of the moans made by the zombie are real – the actor playing Johnny accidentally kneed him in the groin at some point during the fight.
• The body discovered upstairs in the house was crafted by Mr. Romero himself. The eyes are made out of ping pong balls.
• Before George Romero wrote and directed horror movies, he edited shorts for Mister Roger’s Neighborhood.
It would take a prize-winning pumpkin to hold enough beer for a party with my friends. Even so, I can't help but love this great pumpking keg tutorial on Celebrations.com and it would certainly enhance the flavor of a few Octoberfest ales.
I've seen a few Nightmare Before Christmas couple's costumes before, but this is the first one I've ever seen that accounts for Sally and Jack's height differences. Of course, if you want to follow in their footsteps, you'd better be able to walk on stilts.

This amazing painted Ood pumpkin was created for a charity auction at the Orange County High School of the Arts. While I can't tell you how they made the whole thing, I can tell you the dangly bits are painted plastic snakes.
