When we carve a pumpkin, we manage to get about as fancy as a Jack-o-lantern face.
Two triangles for eyes and a big, wide smile. It’s not that difficult. But some folk manage to get way more technical with their autumn fruits — we’re talking detailed faces, fancy scene recreations and, most impressively, video game characters.
Since it’s Halloween, we’ve been trawling Twitter to find some of the best video game-themed pumpkins from these year and years past. Talented pumpkin-carvers, we salute you.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
It’s-a me, Cappy
Happy Halloween everyone! Every year I carve a pumpkin; last two years was fallguys themed. This year it’s CAPPY from #SuperMarioOdyssey !
I always try to pick a theme of something I’m super into and @redlunaticyt def got me into this game 🏃♂️💨 pic.twitter.com/hJ0zph6ohJ— Storm (@stormfulstuff) October 31, 2022
It’s-a me, Mario
Okay, not a carving per se, but this pumpkin Mario (pumpkio? Marpkin?) is too adorable not to share.
