Cut the top for easier scraping
This also makes it easier to put a candle inside
Use a dry erase marker instead of a Sharpie
So you can correct any mistakes before you start carving
Use a cookie cutter + a mallet
Trace a stencil with a nail or tack
Use glow sticks in place of candles
Make holes with a power drill
Use glow-in-the-dark paint + masking tape
Try fishnet stockings
Preserve with a coating of floor cleaner
Give them teeth
Use It As a Punch Bowl
Turn It Into a Keg
Skip pumpkins; go with milk jugs
Remove the plug.
Put on some soft music, dim the lights, put on your favorite porn DVD.
Enjoy the evening!
