Long time reader Narkalant — who also happens to write for one of the many, accursed videogame sites that populate the internet like so much acne, along with a number of others hacks you’ve never heard of — recently unveiled this wondrous fruit, scarred by the visage of the mighty, ubiquitous Octobee; the horrific symbol of Ectomo’s intertubular dominance and the shadowy figure that haunts the nightmares of its enemies.

Of course, as well executed as this particular pumpkin may be there is, unfortunately, the small problem of the use of the aforementioned horrible, mighty mascot. You see, for while one may praise Mr. Biv’s skill with the carving knife it must be pointed out that the rights to the graven image pictured above are held by our very own Miss Gauger, a cruel, heartless harpy of a woman who carries with her wherever she travels a valise filled with tiny, gibbering lawyers, with teeth like shards of glass and writs the likes of which could only have been drawn up in the deepest bowels of Hell. Picture Eleanor Abernathy except with more legalese.

So before you “Ooo” and “Aah” over Ryan’s work think about the man himself as he’s consumed by an army of lilliputian barristers, his screams matched only in volume and pitch by the cries of “COPYRIGHT” emanating from every one of Eliza’s six hundred and sixty six mouths. Just something to keep in mind should you find yourself contemplating a project like this one.

PotD - Made Flesh (Durgid Tiction)

A triumph in the highly competitive field of gourd sculpture, depicting a member of the universe’s most infamous species of hunting and outdoors enthusiasts. The skill on display here is extraordinary. Take note of those animated eyes, the delicate, spiny hairs, and the exquisitely detailed folds of the signature, vulva-like mouth. Truly a work of superior Halloween craftsmanship.

The Great Pumpkin is dead, Charlie Brown. R’lyeh has risen in the pumpkin patch, and The Cthulhukin has come forth to rape your sanity and spit seeds at you at nearly lightspeed! However, I think it favors our mascot, the mystical Octobee, a bit more than Cthulhu—which actually helps it score further Cool Points which can later on be traded in for awesome prizes like an Ectomo Exclusive Pumpkin-Gutting Kit or the fabulous new John Brownlee Junior Fez Playset!

It may be, perhaps, asking too much that this impressive behemoth be draped round a pumpkin Nautilus, but I ask nevertheless.

Giant Squid Pumpkin [Extreme Pumpkins] : Dark Roasted Blend

The Great Pumpkin screwed Charlie Brown over every single year, and that bal’-headed little wanker kept kissing his makebelieve Halloween idol’s round orange heiny every October 31st. Charlie Brown, you’s a sucka - because what have we here? A truly great pumpkin! Well, not so much a pumpkin as a tentacular green gourd molesting a large pumpkin fish, but just take one look at this monster, and if you don’t feel like bowing down to its pulchritude with “Iä!” upon your slavering lips, then you might as well just keep your punk ass safely indoors on Halloween…or else you might feel the terror of smooth, woody, gourd-tentacles wrapping around your throat in the wee hours of the night as you squat in the pumpkin patch awaiting the arise of a false god.

And while I’m on a pumpkin kick: You - yes, you - are hereby assigned to watch PBS’s magnificent documentary on the obsessive growers of championship giant pumpkins, Lords of the Gourd: The Pursuit of Excellent.
