Costumes. :D

Brandywine Cemetary is already up and looking awesome.... the website not only has pics of the finished product, but a work in progress report too.

happy halloween-y everyone.

The use of Flash on the web site is truly scary.

in what way?

I'm thinking of carving a pumpkin with my 5 yr. old nephew this year. Just something fun to create a new experience for him. Idea sounds great except one thing, I don't know how to carve a pumpkin. :p I looked at some youtube videos, but...hmm....:yelsick: Anyone has good instructions or video instructions on how to carve a pumpkin? Something simple and just for a tiny pumpkin, hihi. Oh yeah, in the videos I've seen, they mention roasting the seeds, but what do we do with the meat? Do we throw it away as it will rot by the time we're finish displaying the carved pumpkin?

Here ya go.:D

Another.

Again.

Personally, I think they show up better if you don't cut all the way through to the inside. Just cut through the outside skin and not the flesh. Like this...

Thank you, Bruce. :D

Having toured the supermarkets I wish, I wish, I wish I had a kid to share Halloween with (not enough to want my own though..!) They have such fun stuff. And after all, I still hve mine from last year.

Still, I enjoyed this website, Mon. All I can say is I'm no longer so ashamed to be a Brit - "Over the course of two evenings there were 910 guests and over $600 raised for charity. Less than 50p per head. Not knocking it, but it doesn't make us furriners blush in the way American tips do.

PS, Cap'n - the skull is superb. Bruce's carving pics are good, but I have never seen anything like that skull before.

Do you mean with a fancy pattern or just the triangle eyes and nose and a zig-zag or smiley mouth?

Just in the way that I find almost all flash use on web sites useless and/or tacky.
