30 Pumpkin Carving Designs Cooler Than Any Costume You’ll See This Year

Every year, I tell myself this will be the year I finally carve a decent pumpkin. And every year, I end up with something that looks like a raccoon attacked it. Meanwhile, people on the internet are out here creating full-on works of art with their gourds. I’m talking movie characters, optical illusions, and designs that require a degree in engineering.

So while I’ll probably stick to drawing a smiley face with a Sharpie again, here are some pumpkin carving designs cooler than any costume you’ll see this year.
