The Great Pumpkin

While out and about today, I picked up a warty looking pumpkin to decorate.

Intrigued by the look of it, I learned it to be a Knucklehead Pumpkin, part of "a specialty line known as Superfreak which was developed by Siegers Seed Co. in Holland, Michigan, intentionally bred for their warty skin".

The plan was, using a decorating kit, to turn it into a mummy.

I didn’t realize the kit required carving the guts from the pumpkin.

I don’t carve, so I painted instead and, with the warts making it difficult to do so, the pumpkin came out looking more like a sick pissed off hospital patient, rather than a mummy, but I like the way it came out.

I think it’s going to scare the crap out of Next-Door Neighbor when she next opens her door.

I'll be listening for her scream, followed by a knock on the door.
