A note from curator and head hatchet Dave Grossman:

Most years around Halloween time I am compelled by forces unknown to carve pumpkins in grisly situations, which I set out for the entertainment of my neighbors. Well, here in the Big Tangled Web we're all neighbors, and a picture lasts a lot longer than a pumpkin does. Welcome to...

The Pumpkin House of Horrors

(Man, I've really got to redesign the House of Horrors for the current millenium, with bigger pictures and stuff like that. Next season for sure! In the meantime, enjoy the pumpkins!)
