Along the same lines as the first idea, what better way to show your pride for your favorite sports team than carving it into a pumpkin? Personally, I am a huge Washington Nationals fan, and they even have several templates on their website. Bryce Harper pumpkin here I come: http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/was/fan_forum/...


3. "The College Experience" Pumpkin

We all have that one friend who may have hit it a little too hard on a Friday night. Why not memorialize their mistake into pumpkin form?


4. The Painted Pumpkin

While some people may say that painting a pumpkin is "taking the easy way out" or "cheating," I say that if you can paint all that on a pumpkin, go right ahead! However, be sure not to use washable paint if you're putting it outside!


5. The Monogrammed Pumpkin

There is an 80 percent chance that the phrase "I can't even" will come out of the person who carves this.

It is a well-known fact that the pineapple is a symbol for welcome, so what better way to welcome guests into your home this halloween, than by carving a pineapple pumpkin?
