One look at these jack-o'-lanterns and you'll be convinced: This is the year to let your creativity shine and carve up something cool. Even if it doesn't turn out as professional as the following photos, it's all in good fun. Plus, the less perfect they are, the spookier they look. More into eating pumpkins than carving them?
