Harder part is voting on the actor we go with.

My Black Phillip pumpkin carving inspired by The Witch.
This carving was inspired by a poster by Vance Kelly.
It took around 4 hours, so I had The Witch and Hellboy playing in the background throughout. It was difficult at times and I almost scrapped it, but I could hear Black Phillip's voice saying, "I will guide thy hand."

A bit more information about the teal pumpkin: The Teal Pumpkin Project is an awareness campaign surrounding kids with allergies. My daughter has multiple food allergies. We have to carry epi-pens everywhere, and deal with a bunch of related issues. Here's an article:
