Hmmm, nice entries so far. I'm nearly done mine, I just need to add a few finishing details. I'll probably post mine on Friday, I'm busy tomorrow.
HurricaneAndrew, how did you get that color? I would assume a glowstick, as I've done that in the past, though I'm not sure that would fit in a pumpkin so small!
Keep them coming!

I ruined a perfectly good shirt for this, hope you like.
My camera sucks in the dark!
I just noticed I forgot the Band-Ade.Oh well, it's before he gets the crud kicked out of him.
Nah, no glowstick. Just a candle.Originally Posted by SPAZ-12
I assume that everyone else must be using a different variety of pumpkin or something. I read in last year's thread that Exacto knives are the tool of choice, but an Exacto won't go through the thick rind of mine. That's why it looks sloppy.
I collect for: Odyssey2, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, ColecoVision, NES, SNES, N64, SMS, Genesis, Dreamcast, PSX, and TI-99/4A
Alright, time to post mine. Carved with butcher's knife, steak knife, and coping saw blade, and yes, all the parts are from a single pumpkin.
It's.... JIGGLYPUFF!
Yes, I carved it:
Even cute in the dark!
The camera doesn't pick it up to well, but her little puff of hair glows nicely in the dark.
edit: Oh, and understatement, how/why did you ruin a shirt!?

This year, I went with a horror theme...
OOOOooooOOOOO SCAAAARRRYY!!!
I carved it with a child's safety carver from the dollar store (that I've had *since* I was a child...)
I got the red light by taking the electric bits out of one of those plastic perma-pumpkin, and replacing the bulb with a christmas light.
This is the only time I've ever been thankful that retailers put out christmas supplies before halloween!
ps. my xbox is fine
@SamuraiSmurfette: after seeing HurricaneAndrew's "Oh Crap!" .sig, I thought a RRoD pumpkin might be nice; thanks for bringing it to life!
