Quoted from Andretti:Thanks for all the comments. The pumpkins might still be available at your local michaels or Hobby Lobby. I would recommend the funkin brand, typically found at Hobby Lobby.
It is definitely a seasonal thing to buy. By tomorrow, they are likely going to be 60% off or more, so now would be the time to get any if you are thinking you might like to carve some by next year. Otherwise, you wont be able to find any in stores till around August or so.
Yes, the house with the cloud above with a face in it is from Fright Night movie poster.
Fright Night - one of my favorite campy 80's flicks - nice job on the carving!!
