Bizarre Halloween Jack O'Lantern pumpkins carved by Ray Villafane.

As Halloween approaches, you may be thinking of carving your own Jack O'Lantern out of a pumpkin. American Ray Villafane takes pumpkin carving to another level. Drawing on his background in art and his work in designing models for DC and Marvel comics, Ray sculpts intricate horrific faces out of pumpkins. His carvings look like gothic gargoyles in keeping with the theme of the popular holiday. "The most intricate pumpkin model that I have designed is the Zipperhead model, which took the best part of a day. Otherwise, the models take a couple of hours," he says.

The 50 Most Hated Characters in Literary History

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Car's in the shop today because of the squeaky noise. Service guy is surprised it's still operational. Oops. Bad car owner. Bad, bad car owner. Tenser serpentine something something.

I wish I didn't love my car so much, 11 years on. Because the glove box door is about to fall off, and the cup holder needs to be replaced. And those are both hella expensive.

Yeah, Dolores Umbridge is one of my favorite characters because she is so vile.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm hoping my car will last 11 years if not more. I've got one more payment next month, and then it'll be mine-all-mine and only five years old. Since it's a Civic, it should last me at least 10, if not 15 years--at least, that's the goal.

Next time, I want a '67 Impala. Because we know those last forever.

I want one if it comes with a conflicted martyr mechanic. Because I think it will need one.

There's very little chicken in my chicken corn chowder. But it's still mighty tasty.
