How awesome are they!!!

Basically these are the tips from http://www.zombiepumpkins.com This is such a great way of doing pumpkins for halloween, I will be doing a couple with my lil one this halloween.. If you get round to it take some pics and post on the gaming forum, maybe do the pimp mushroom you never know it may get you a prize!!!!

#1 - Buy a carving kit For detailed designs like those found here, the right tools are a MUST! You can find pumpkin carving kits in just about any store that carries Halloween items. They should come with a drill tool, a poker tool and a couple mini-saws. The saw with the smaller teeth is best for fine detail work. These kits might also come with patterns but ignore those and use your Zombie Pumpkins! patterns!
#2 - Choose your pumpkin Find a pumpkin that’s roughly the dimensions of the pattern you want to use. Obviously a tall pumpkin will fit the vertical designs a little better. For a very detailed pattern, a larger pumpkin will be easier to carve. Pick a smooth one that’s free of scratches, dents, gouges or rotting spots. Also make sure it has a flat bottom so it will sit upright and not roll away. Never carry the pumpkin by its stem. Wash and dry it thoroughly before starting.
#3 - Cut open a lid Cover your table with a plastic table cloth (garbage bags work well also) to make cleanup easier. With a sturdy kitchen knife, cut an opening around the stem. Cut a 5 or 6 sided shape, or a circle with a notch, to make replacing the lid easier. Cut in at an angle to prevent the lid from falling into the pumpkin. The hole should be an inch or two wider than your fist, to allow for scooping out the guts. You might also try cutting a bottom opening instead, allowing you to place the finished pumpkin over a lit candle or electric light.
#4 - Scoop out the guts Remove the bulk of the seeds and strings with you hands. Then use the scraper tool (or a big spoon) to scrape the inner walls of the pumpkin clean and smooth. Scraping the front wall (where your design will be) to about one inch thick will make carving easier. You can check thickness by pushing a straight pin through the wall. Remember, light bouncing off the inside of the pumpkin is what creates your final image. Thoroughly cleaning out the inside will make for the best presentation.
#5 - Print and attach the pattern When printed, the patterns should be about the size a standard sheet of paper. You can reduce or enlarge the pattern to fit your pumpkin with a photocopier. With scissors, trim off the excess paper so the design more easily curves around the surface of the pumpkin. Place the pattern on the smoothest side of the pumpkin and tape securely around the edges.
#6 - Transfer the pattern Use the poking tool (or push pin, small nail) to lightly poke holes along the lines of the patterns, making sure to go through the paper and the pumpkin’s outer skin. Depending on the level of detail needed, make your holes 1/8 to 1/4 inch apart. When you’re sure you’ve poked along every line, remove the pattern and save it for carving reference. If you have trouble seeing the dots after removing the pattern, you can rub flour over the design to turn the dots white, or connect the dots with a fine point marker.
#7 - Begin carving Placing the pumpkin in your lap can help keep it steady. You should start by carving the smallest pieces first (eyes, teeth, etc). Hold your carving saw tool like a pencil and insert it straight into the pumpkin, on one of the dotted lines. Begin sawing (up and down motion) along the lines, connecting the dots. Use the paper pattern as reference as you carve. You’ll be removing the pieces that are shaded grey. Generally, you will want to work your way out from the center, saving the largest areas for last, as removing large chunks will make your carving surface unstable.
#8 - Keep on carving Follow curved lines by gently turning the saw in the direction you wish to carve. For sharp corners, pull out the saw and reinsert at the new angle. Never twist the saw or it will bend or break. When cutting out the larger pieces, cut them into two or three smaller pieces to allow for easier removal. Leave the cut shapes in place until you are finished cutting all lines. This will give the surface added support until you are done. When you’re sure all shapes are cut, gently poke out the pieces with your fingers.
#9 - Final touches Once you’ve removed all of the cut pieces, look your design over and compare to the paper pattern. Placing a flashlight inside the pumpkin will allow you to see the holes clearly. If some openings don’t look right, you can use the detail saw tool to carefully trim the inside edges of any excess flesh. Trimming in at an angle will allow more light to come through. If you accidentally break off a part of the design, you can reattach it with toothpicks.
#10 - Preserve the pumpkin Once carved, a jack-o-lantern doesn’t last more that a few days before starting to dry out and shrivel up. Coat the cut edges with generous layer of petroleum jelly (like Vaseline) or white glue. Use your finger on large openings, and a cotton swab to coat the tiny openings. This helps seal in the pumpkin’s moisture, extending its life to a week or more. You can also store a jack-o-lantern in the fridge when not on display and soak a dried out pumpkin in water to bring it back to life. But you can spare yourself some of that trouble by carving as close to Halloween as possible.
#11 - Light it up Light a small candle and place it inside the pumpkin. Votive candles in glass candle holders are a pretty safe bet. Plain white candles will give off the most light. If you replace the lid while lit, a blackened area will form inside the top of the pumpkin. You can cut a 1 or 2 inch hole in that blackened area to act as a vent to allow heat and smoke to escape. Or for a longer lasting (and safer) method of lighting your pumpkin, you might consider one of the LED Pumpkin Lights available from this website.
