... why, yes, actually, I do want credit for my freehand pumpkin-carving skills. And all my trick-or-treaters this year appeared to be under eight, which might explain why I didn't get any recognition, despite several clear nods to movie canon. (The only real explanation for this particular choice of jack-o-lanterns is that last year I did Harry Potter Himself -- I wanted to try glasses -- and I was feeling uninspired this year. A white pumpkin, if I could find a full-size one, would probably have been more appropriate; as it stands, this one looks more generally demonic than anything else. Still -- those pupils are fiddly work.)
Also, this is not my geekiest jack-o-lantern ever. That would be the time I did Saint Denis from the
standard French legenda -- a severed head (you can do a nice jagged line to create the illusion of a neck) surrounded by an outlined hand and arm.
