It just isn’t Halloween without pumpkins, but invariably the attention is given to those who carve artistic pieces of brilliance or creative, rib-tickling wonder.
Here though is a collection that you may find much more relatable – Jack-o’-lanterns that didn’t quite go to plan.
1. Art is a lot tougher with a smaller canvas.
Apparently it's not as easy as you'd think to carve a tiny pumpkin 🎃 Think it's best if the light stays off 😂 #Halloween #pumpkincarving #fail pic.twitter.com/FMxYGnJ0wv

2. Sometimes going big doesn’t help either though.

3. Choosing a classic horror character is great, but execution is key.

4. Even characters outside of the horror genre aren’t simple to pull off.
5. Breakages are just part and parcel of life as a pumpkin carver.
So, I carved a pumpkin today. It's supposed to be a cat but I messed up, a bit. pic.twitter.com/9nbOwrIjWJ

6. To reiterate – breakages will happen.

7. Just remember, it’s all about the taking part.
Certain times in life I’m reminded that I have no talents. Actually dying at my pumpkin 😂🎃 pic.twitter.com/QpZyT5Mqug
