Panic! loves us some JackO-Lanterns and these sites take pumpkin carving to the X-factor! If you’ve got the tools and the time, these sites will inspire you to pumpkin-carving greatness with galleries and tutorials. Pumpkin Gutter is the Louvre of carved pumpkin art from Perryton, Texasnative Scott Cummins, the Michelangelo of 3-D JackO-Lanterns. Tom Nardone at Extreme Pumpkins is no slouch, either. Nardone hosts an annual carving contest online. Just send him a photo and he’ll pick a winner and “send you some sort of prize.” Heh. Our favorite? The Lionel Richie Pumpkin.

Sample post: Bad Trick or Treat Ideas: Loose Change Nothing says grubby quite like someone else’s slightly warm loose change. Though, if you want to kick the grub factor up a notch, putting that loose change in an old, wrinkled plastic sandwich bag and handing it out to trick-ortreaters should just about do the trick. It’s disgusting, dude. Might as well give out a bagful of your toenail clippings. Do yourself and the rest of humanity a favor, spend the ten spot and pick up a bag of candy, you know, so I don’t have to be plagued by your grotesque germs.
ONLY ONE OF US CAN BE THE COP! This happens every year, so get it together, people: Only ONE of us can be the Cop from the Village People*. And you must wear the Officially Licensed VP Cop Costume, which has a blue patch sewn onto it along with the screenprinted words: “Village People Officially Licensed Merchandise.” If you see a VP Cop Costume without this, tell your Officially Licensed VP Biker or Construction Worker friend to beat the shit out of them. Victor Willis will thank you. Village People Cop Costume $81.99 halloweencostumes.com *We know nobody wants to be the Chief, but they don’t have it anyway.
