It's the GREATEST pumpkin, Charlie Brown....
Saw an story on this guy on the news the other day. Be sure you scroll down the page to see his famous Death Star pumpkin:
Fantasy Pumpkins
I have always admired the skill that goes into carving a pumpkin. I never got the hang of it, but my mom was pretty good.

Trick or treat?
It's that time of year again. Here's what you need to know to play it safe for celiacs:
Gluten-free and Gluten-safe Candy List for Halloween 2013
I have avoided being home on Halloween the past five years for two reasons: one, it is the anniversary of the death of my beloved Chip D. Dog, and two, if I had leftover candy after the trick or treaters were done, I wouldn't know what to do with it because I don't eat sweets anymore. This year, Dan and I plan to go see the remake of "Carrie" at the theatre. Even though I shouldn't I still DO eat movie popcorn, heh heh.

A rerun from last year, but a fave. Ducky sent it to me over a decade ago....
Halloween Rules:
When it appears that you have killed the monster, *never* check to see if it's really dead.
Never read a book of demon summoning aloud, even as a joke.
Do not search the basement, especially if the power has just gone out.
If your children speak to you in Latin or any other language which they should not know, or if they speak to you using a voice which is other than their own, shoot them immediately. It will save you a lot of grief in the long run. NOTE: It will probably take several rounds to kill them, so be prepared.
When you have the benefit of numbers, *never* pair off and go it alone.
As a general rule, don't solve puzzles that open portals to Hell.
Never stand in, on, above, below, beside, or anywhere near a grave, tomb, crypt, mausoleum, or other house of the dead.
If you're searching for something which caused a noise and find out that it's just the cat, *leave the room immediately if you value your life.*
If appliances start operating by themselves, move out.
Do not take *anything* from the dead.
If you find a town which looks deserted, it's probably for a reason. Take the hint and stay away.
Don't fool with recombinant DNA technology unless you're sure you know what you are doing.
If you're running from the monster, expect to trip or fall down at least twice, more if you are of the female persuasion. Also note that, despite the fact that you are running and the monster is merely shambling along, it's still moving fast enough to catch up with you.
If your companions suddenly begin to exhibit uncharacteristic behavior such as hissing, fascination for blood, glowing eyes, increasing hairiness, and so on, get away from them as fast as possible.
Stay away from certain geographical locations, some of which are listed here: Amityville, Elm Street, Transylvania, Nilbog (you're in trouble if you recognize this one), the Bermuda Triangle, or any small town in Maine.
If your car runs out of gas at night, do not go to the nearby deserted-looking house to phone for help.
Beware of strangers bearing tools such as chainsaws, staple guns, hedge trimmers, electric carving knives, combines, lawnmowers, butane torches, soldering irons, band saws, or any device made from deceased companions.
