I’m not much of a pumpkin carver myself, but Katie likes to get creative. Here are some Jack-O-Lanterns she’s done, inspired by science fiction, fantasy, comics and games.

From 2003… Gourdzilla!

Inspired by a Grand Ave. strip earlier that week.

Also, Aeryn Sun from Farscape!

From 2005… Puzzle Pirates’ Navigation puzzle!

Yes, the “Arrr!” on the wall is a projection.

More: Pumpkin Arrrrrt.

And finally, one that hasn’t been on this blog before: The Eye of Sauron, from 2002. Unfortunately we could only find one picture of it, and it was lit up from the outside, so you can’t see how awesome it looked in the dark.

This year’s Jack-O-Lantern will be up soon!

Another Twitter meme: come up with movie titles just one letter off from the original, tagged #oneletteroffmovies. I posted these on my other account on Friday.

  • New Dork Stories
  • Annie Get Your Gum
  • Fight Clue
  • There should be an Oz sequel called All About Ev.
  • Reaching a bit, but Key D’argo (Farscape)
  • Ok, I keep coming up with movie titles for and finding that someone else has already done them. Time for bed I think.
  • Okay, one more. There are those who call it…The Land Before Tim.
