(Am I actually the first to comment…)
Sure, no gooey innards, looks like the paint dripped down the mouth on the right side though…
I don’t get it. I mean, they did have a pumpkin right there. Couldn’t they have painted it if they didn’t want the gooey innards?
Could have at least put the two screws on the neck and called it a Frankenpumpkin with the square top.
Patience, Daniel. That’s coming next year.
Cool. Send pics and memory pills so I know what that’s about.
This one just makes sense.
Oh that’s fantastic. Save yourself the fun of carving while being able to store your energy efficient light bulbs..
This is what happens when you try to use canned pumpkin for your jack-o-lantern..
Hey look, a bac-o-lantern!
Oh cool, then you can store your Halloween decorations in it after!
I would have made the lid green though.
Easy, just use the lid from your Christmas storage container.

Good thing they didn’t use a candle. That could have ended in the gooey mess they tried to avoid and more!
I suppose that the lightbulb is lying on the bottom of the container, so it possibly could have ended in a stinky mess of melt plastic anyway.
Brillant! a $40 tupperware container is used as a mediocre substitute for a $4 pumpkin.
Didn’t you read that in 2015 we’ll need 10 times the ammount of food we produce now-a-days? They’re thinking forward.
$40?! Don’t be silly. Those totes are like $5. And once Halloween is over, you put your other decorations in the container. In fact, I’m willing to be that the person who made this already had the container and got the idea to gussy it up for halloween while it was empty of the other decorations.
This isn’t a ‘kludge’, it’s a ‘fail’. Big time. Way to let your kids down.
It’s actually a “win”, since they won’t be stuck with rotten pumpkin and won’t have to buy a new one for next year. Plus, if you give it a new paint job, you can use it for Christmas, Valentine’s day and Easter.
Well, since you put it that way….
At least with a plastic jack-o-lantern you dont have to worry about throwing it out after a month or two. The flies can rest easier that way.
We take our pumpkins and put them in the back yard for the squirrels. They love them.
I want the BABY!
They actually use pumpkins as tupperware.
At least the dam squirrels won’t eat this pumpkin after one day!
Warning: Glowing plastic pumpkins may be hazardous to your health. Use extreme caution when handling.
This is actually a really good idea as it can be reused each year, heck you could keep the candy in it.
If the point is to keep the neighborhood kids from smashing your pumpkin, they forgot something.
Jack-O-Trouble Light
Just wait to see the their christmas tree….
Well, at least it’ll be harder to smash. Now if only it were a transformer… I’d love to see kids try to egg that house with Jack-o-mus Prime guarding the front door.
The after-Halloween pie was a bit tough tho!
In Soviet Russia, jack-o-lantern puts light in you.
In Soviet Russia, pumpkin smashes you.
In Soviet Russia, quote quotes you.
1)I see the Jack in a Box, but where’s the drive up window?
2) Welcome to jack in a Box. Would you like a pumpkin shake with your order?
Makes me dread to think what the seeds taste like,
Next there will be a house “toilet papered” in Duct Tape
HOLY HELL! Why haven’t I thought of that? “Honey, were going to Wal-mart!”
Oh sweet Jeebus YES!
Stack-o-lantern? Well, only if they had several one on top of the other.
I get it: so the real pumpkin is a decoy for the late-night bashers, and when they’re done there will still be a halloween decoration on the porch!
I just remembered (you’re going to love this): when I was a kid, older kids in our neighborhood used to come around late at night with a bat and bash everybodies’ pumpkins all up and down the street. Our next-door neighbor put together a pretty good kludge. He somehow made a mold of a real pumpkin, made a cast in portland cement, and carefully painted it. The way we knew the bashers were using an aluminum bat was, one late October night, we heard the thing ring out, followed immediately by a string of profanity and the sound of the bat clattering on his porch.
I bet he is the kind of person that would fill a soccer ball with water and leave it in the yard and watch for someone to kick it.
That. Is. Awesome. Epic win!
Where can I get seed for it?
That’s not paint drippings, that’s drool. Whatsamatteryou? You never see a horror movie??
