Carving a usual jack-o-lantern is boring and absolutely not popular today, creating real masterpieces and artworks of pumpkins is trendy and cool. Among the hottest trends are pumpkins that are inspired by various movies, cartoons, books, even animals and food. Today I’m going to inspire you for some amazing movie pumpkin carvings and paintings, here you’ll see the most popular movies that inspire cosplayers and just nerds and geeks all over the world, look at them and get inspired!
Star Wars
This is perhaps a classic theme for decorating and carvings pumpkins for Halloween and it’s an endless source of inspiration for costumes. Stromtroopers, Darth Vader, Darth Maul, Princess Leia, Luke, Yoda, R2D2, BB8 and Death Star can become an inspiration for your pumpkin. Carve it, paint it or even use such materials as fur and googly eyes. Create whole groups of different Star Wars inspired pumpkins and may the Force be with you!
Harry Potter
This is another super popular movie series, which keeps inspiring everyone, small or adult – no one is left indifferent! Harry Potter face, Hogwarts with its motto and emblem, an owl, a magic hat, Deathly Hallows symbol and various characters of the books and films will look amazing on pumpkins, carved or painted. Everything depends on your skills and opportunities.
Hunger Games
Do you love these books and films? If you do, then carve a mocking jay or Katniss face. You can also try various characters and words from these movies, it’s up to you. I love the idea of carving several different characters and creating a group. Add white roses and enjoy the produced effect!
Super Hero Movies
We totally love super hero stories and movies of all kind: Hellboy, Batman, Spiderman, Iron Man, Loki and other cool films. These guys really inspire us to move forward, to do the good and help everyone we can, so why not inspire yourself and every guest making cool hero pumpkins? If you don’t want lanterns or don’t have time for carving, just paint the pumpkins and that’s it.
Horror Movies
Like horror movies and thrillers? Want to frighten your guests? Carve Predator, Alien, Freddy Krueger or even birds from a classical movie by Alfred Hitchcock. Have you seen the Walking Dead? Carve Rick Grimes with his gun or some zombies! If you are a fan of Friday the 13th, you cam just decorate a pumpkin with a proper mask – a real last minute craft.
Other Ideas
Any movies you love are proper for carving and decorating. The Pirates of the Caribbean, the Game of Thrones, Doctor Who, Maleficent, Star Trek and any other show and episode that you love can be used as a source of inspiration. Enjoy and go carving!
