Top Jack O Latern Voting

Here is a collection of Jack o'Lanterns found near my apartment. There were way to many to include here. I have picked my top twenty (in no order). Leave a vote for your favorite. Many became distorted by weather. Also some photos are not great due to the fact that they were taken discretely in front of the owners' open window.

1. Legs but no face?

2.

3.
4. This one gets mention because its unfinishedness gives it an odd, couldn't hack it quality.

5. What?

6. In my top 3. This one became cooler with age, like some kind of wine or your weird Uncle.

7.

8. Mom, look what I made!

9.

10. A mean family. Props to the right one.

11. Swiss cheese pumpkin? Just because it hasn't been done doesn't make it a good idea.

12. Let's see how long this one lives to prosper.

13.

14. I know for a fact this actually came from a template included in a carving kit. For shame.

15. You almost expect this one to tell you to trick-or-treaters to "get off the porch."

16.

17. How crafty!

18. It's got spirit, I'll give it that.

19. Dig the backwards carve.
20.

21. Some kind of face.




22. Check this one. My favorite. It's actually there all year but the caution tape adds an incidental element most cannot match even with their craftiest efforts.

  3. My vote is for number 15. If it had a body to go with it, it could actually pass as an old man.

  4. It's close between numbers 6 and 15, but I probably have to go with 15. It's interesting how they seem to have their own personalities.
