PUMPKIN GUTTER
The job of taking all the gooey seeds and guts out of the pumpkin always seemed like a privilege as a kid. Each year, we would attempt to carve out a creepy feature in the pumpkin, adding a candle inside for ultimate scare factor, but the pumpkin always ended up looking like primitive two-year-old artwork.

As Halloween festivities become more celebrated across the country, it is no wonder pumpkin carving has reached new creative sites. As we take our little goblins 'trick or treating' on our walk around the neighborhood, some of the elaborate pumpkin carvings we notice are quite impressive, but nothing compares to the spooky carvings at Pumkingutter.com This site elevates pumpkin carving to an art form, and has web users entranced.
