Aw, I wish they had a haunted house around here. I've always wanted to go to one, but never got the chance. They do have a haunted cornfield, though, and the cornfield is a maze, so that could could be cool.
I'm a big fan of the rockabilly pinup look. So a zombie version of that sounds pretty hot to me
Sneaked in aother horror'ish movie this weekend. The Stepford Wives remake. Hadn't seen it or the original before, but it was an entertaining watch with a great idea/concept. Put the 1975 original on my to-watch-list.
It depends on how good you want it to look. All you do is cut a circle in the top, pull out the pulpy, seedy mess, then carve the face/picture. So maybe a half an hour, unless you're really meticulous, then maybe an hour.
I once got a frozen pumpkin. Rather than let it thaw, I decided to carve it anyways. It took me half an hour just to pull the seeds out because they were frozen.
