Jack-O’-Lanterns That Scare Me

I decided to mix it up this Halloween. While Matt carved a lovely traditional pumpkin and photo-bombed my efforts at documentation:

Jack-O'-LanternI tried to carve something I thought was really scary. Here’s what I came up with, with the photo captions copied below:

Bwahaha
