Scariness contest

Every year Chris and I get really competitive about whose jack-o-lantern is scariest. It's serious biz.

And I believe this is the 3rd year that I have put it to a vote on my blog.

So, good people--please vote.

I am obviously not telling you whose is which, because that would not be good science.

Instead they will be Pumpkins #1 and #2.



Here is Pumpkin #1:






And Pumpkin #2:





We apparently didn't do a very good job of taking the pictures from the same distance from the pumpkin . . . maybe we're not great scientists after all. The point is, please vote over on the right. Which one scares the pants off you more?

Voting ends at Midnight on Halloween. Ooh, spooky!

oOOooo, they are both scary! i will have to say the first one reminds me of the pollution, tree, villain thing from Fern Gully and that SUPER creeped me out. So I have to say, Pumpkin #1! :)

I definitely think that Pumpkin #2 is scarier, Owen and I always compete to have the cutest carving so maybe I'll have to have a vote too!

I think pumpkin #2 is scarier. But if it's not yours then I think yours is scarier. :) Haha! What can I say, I'm a loyal friend.

I say #1 is more scary simply because it reminds me of "Scarecrow" mask on batman begins - I don't know why, but it does, and that is a scary thing. Also, #2 seems like a really happy pumpkin...just needs to see the orthodontist. And although severely crooked teeth can be fairly scary, it just doesn't compete with "scarecrow."

I am going to have to reveal myself as a faithful blog-stalker (hello again Erin!), and vote for pumpkin 1. Its the eyes!

I was going to say Pumpkin #2 was scarier because it had slantier eyes, but then I just felt racist.

Pumpkin #1 looks like the master and pumpkin #2 looks like the sidekick. Also, don't you hate it when people say "punkin?" I DO.

I think # 2 is scarier since it has more teeth. Also, if you wanted a real scientific reason, the fact that the teeth are centered around a center tooth, instead of the usual human like "two-front-teeth" approach, makes it look more demon-like.

Mix #1's eyes with #2's mouth. Watch out.
