I just remembered that Halloween will be in two weeks and I would like our members to share the best picture depicting Halloween. Examples would be a carved pumpkin, decorations,costumes etc. Give it your best shot and add a caption. There will be a prize for the Best Halloween picture.
All pics must be original and be taken no more than one week prior to Halloween.

That's OK.....it will make it easier to win if nobody follows the rules except me :angel:

[copperlover]

I really intended to make this simple but the fine print made it a little more difficult.

My Halloween graveyard...... A bloody foot sticks out from its grave, a skeleton tries to escape, and a skull greets those who walks by.

[copperlover]

There will be a very nice surprise for the winner.

Alright, here it is! The whole thing (including cleaning and emptying pumpkin) took about 2-3 hours while watching the Giants win the World Series (WOO!) Probably not the best picture depicting halloween, but it was a blast (and I added "LCR" for fun) It was my attempt at the Lincoln Memorial, and the most challenging carving I have made to date. I tried to put as much detail into it as I could, such as the shape of his coat/vest in the middle, and his hand on the far left side. Trying to figure out which sections of the pumpkin needed to be empty space and which parts should be solid to get a good looking image was very difficult. Enjoy!

[flyhi3]

Wow, very nice pumpkin Simon!!!!!

[seal006]

OK, so here is my nephew. He is all geared up for some candy nabbing.

Yup. His all time favorite movie.

[liveandievarieties]

Last week we carved pumpkins- here are the photos.

It was really funny because as you see in his picture, Jansen the three year old couldn't quite wrap his brain around what the heck we were doing. Also, when I cut the tops off the pumpkins I said they had to pull out all the "spiders"... not sure that carving pumpkins is their favorite part of Halloween!

By the way- these are pumpkins we grew in our garden this year.

I had no time to decorate this year, that being said I did have a few trick or treaters tell me how scary my tree was. Now that the leaves are gone it is an eerie looking tree. The vulture has been there since last year ,that is how lazy/ busy I have been. Here are summer / now pics. Vickilynn

Those Re awesome costumes, Chris!

A few years ago I dressed up as an IRS agent for halloween and demanded people pay their taxes in candy. One person actually shut the door right in my face when I told them what I was. :LOL_Hair:

[copperlover]

The contest winner and prize will be announced on Tuesday 11/20/12 next week which will allow me time to select the prize.

I'm a little late, but a fun idea...

Halloween in Brooklyn 2012:
My son is a Dimetrodon, daughter a reindeer. Their mom has the t-rex mask from 2 years ago (you can barely see it though). I made the Dimetrodon mask and sail 4 hours before we went out...and the jack o' lanterns are ours...

[Vickilynn]

[Maineman750]
