Um... boo? My husband, Mr. Cupcakes, waited until the last minute to buy a pumpkin. By the time he got to the store to get one, they were completely out. Being a creative guy, this was his solution.

That's awesome.

Ha ha awesome. In the dark, it will look the same as the pumpkin. Plus, maybe the red flesh will look spookier!

I think that looks marvelous.

LOL every kid that comes to the door asks about the watermelon. The red insides actually makes it look pretty cool, and it was MUCH easier to carve than a pumpkin. We are totally going to carve watermelons every year now.

It's clearly an improvement over pumpkins.

AHAHA, so cool!

Very cute. Also it would probably be much more delicious when it's being hollowed out.

Excellent!

Jack'o'lanterns were originally turnips.

Love this. The green skin . . . the bloody red interior . . . definitely scarier than the standard edition! Yay your hubby!

Yeah, I think I've carved my last pumpkin now. From now on? ONLY WATERMELONS.

So awesome.
