Some pumpkins have all the luck. While your front porch masterpiece might not have all his triangles in the right place (why are three-sided shapes so difficult?), other squash out there will become amazing works of art. From classic spooks to grumpy old men and favorite movie characters, click through the slideshow below to find 12 wow-worthy masterpieces we scooped from around the web.
