It's insane how much I love jack-o-lanterns. They are my favorite ritual of any kind.

Ideas for this year:

• Spike (from Buffy)
• a Wild Thing
• Disney Villains:
  • Maleficent, Chernabog, Ursula, The Horned King, Jafar, Scar

Jack-o-lanterns I've done recently:

• Other Mother from Coraline (with actual button eyes)
• Spock
• Anton Chigurh
• Batman (specifically Michael Keaton)
• Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton again)
• Gollum
• Voldemort
• E.T. (with cool glowy finger)
• skeleton with a top-hat
• a raven on a skull
