I need Jack-O-Lantern ideas NOW

We're going to be carving pumpkins tonight, and I have no idea what to carve! Any ideas?

How about not carving anything, but hollow them out so you can put bowling balls in them so when the vandals come to destroy them, they get their reward.

I went to a Pumkin-Carving Party/Contest on Sat. Night.

I came in third place w/an original comilations of some superhero charactes I created in grade school...not bad since our rules stipulated no tracing!

But there were some VERY original ones at the party. Three others stand out in my mind:

1) A larger pumpkin with long vertical chuncks carved out... made into a "jail". Then, she put a miniature pumkin (w/face) inside as the "prisoner".
2) A pumpkin eating a pumpkin...same use of two sized pumpkins'.
3) And this takes some MASTER dedication to your craft...turn the pumpkin into a literal "globe" of the world...I've seen it done only two nights ago!

Okay guys, I ended up carving this bat hanging from a cave, and some little bats on the sides of the pumpkin, and I'm going to get some toothpicks today to put the little bat shapes that I cut out on top of the pumpkin, to make look like they're flying around. It's cool.

^ Nice. You have to get creative with Pumpkin carving! Otherwise, it's a waist of time.
