Caught on the news of some guy that puts molds around growing pumpkins so that a face is impressed when harvested. Definitely eerie looking; No carving needed.
I have to try to get some links.

Pumpkin Curry Soup
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
½ cup diced onion
One 15 oz can pumpkin puree (not pie filling)
1 ½ cups water or chicken broth (use boxed chicken broth if you can, it's better than the canned stuff)
1 tsp curry powder (or more to taste)
½ tsp salt (or more to taste)
pinch cayenne
1 cup milk or half and half (half& half is better)
Heat the butter or oil in a medium pot and saute the onions 5 or 6 minutes until they are clear and soft, stirring occasionally. Stir in the pumpkin, water or broth, curry, salt and cayenne. Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered. Add the milk or half and half and simmer on very low heat for another 5 minutes. This soup is ok on the first day but really good on the second day.
Oh, BTW, acorn squash seeds are far better than pumpkin seeds for roasting.
