Welcome to the inevitable suburban squirrel carnage, which is way scarier than anything on Halloween itself. Here’s the before photo. Poor fellow.

November 8, 2010 at 12:26 amRound here the deer would have done more Jason (of the Halloween movies) type carnage. I’ve gotten to where I keep the jack’o’lanterns inside at night until we’re through. Then we make a game out of smashing them so the deer can eat them. Great stress relief.

November 8, 2010 at 8:37 amEven your squirrels are arteests! The way those candles are positioned inside the pumpkin, they look like eyeballs that got smashed in.
Cool!

November 8, 2010 at 11:38 amBetter than my first year in Florida: Bought the pumpkin 2 weeks in advance/carved it/ had it in the living room until Halloween/ it rotted and the lid made the most awful splooshing sound when it fell into the pumpkin. Now we know the weather here means no carving until a couple days before.

November 8, 2010 at 12:16 pmThe damn squirrels around here eat all my figs and throw pinecones at my little five pound Duke. My husband says I’m imagining that; but, it’s true!

November 8, 2010 at 2:20 pmFl Liz is so correct. And this also means the pumpkins do not last long enough for the squirrels to eat. The pumpkins go in the trash the day after Halloween, unless you’re into moldy messes staining your front porch.

November 9, 2010 at 12:55 pmI like this pumpkin. Scariest Halloween thing I’ve seen this year. (of course, I avoid scary H things…)

November 9, 2010 at 6:37 pmI think our squirrels were too busy with the tomatoes in the backyard to come around to the front. Interesting look on yours. My daughter is convinced that our (small colony) feral cats have made treaties with the squirrels. Rats with fluffy tails. Ugh. p.j.

November 9, 2010 at 7:40 pmI can’t put out bird food because the damn squirrels attack the birds.
