Badass Geek Culture Jack-O-Lantern Carvings!

Art by Joey Paur

One of my favorite parts about Halloween is the Jack-O-Lantern art that starts to show up. It's amazing to see the the things people can do with pumpkins these days. I also enjoy making them myself with my kids! It's always fun stabbing the giant pumpkins and pulling their guts out, and slicing into them.

Here's an amazing series of geeky pumpkin art featuring several different comic book superheroes, Alien, X-Files, Cthulhu, Lord of the Rings and more!

These pumpkins are all part of the amazing Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular in Providence, Rhode Island. The event is hosted every year with a different theme. These are from the “All the World’s a Stage” show, happening now at Roger Williams Park Zoo from through November 3. The Spectacular features more than 5000 pumpkins carved with scenes from well-known movies, Broadway hits and television series, and as you can see here, comic books. Additionally, there’s a section just for pup-o-lanterns, which showcases incredible pumpkins carved with an “amazing variety of dog species,” and a kids-only section with classic Halloween jack-o-lanterns. Proceeds support the Roger Williams Park Zoo education and conservation efforts, and assist with zoo maintenance and improvement funding.

If you're in Rode Island, this sounds like an event worth checking out! Do you enjoy carving Pumpkins? And which one in this series is your favorite?
