Five Great Pop Culture Pumpkins [PHOTOS]
Carving pumpkins for <a href="http://thefw.com/category/halloween/"target_blankHalloween can be dangerous. You try to cut a simple eye hole or a mouth and you end up slashing your finger. So think of what the people who carved these pumpkins had to do. This isn't amateur hour. This is art.
Here are some of the best pop culture pumpkins we found around the web. These are the real great pumpkins, Charlie Brown.

'Star Wars' Death Star
A rather intricate and cool design, recognizable to even the most casual Star Wars fan.

Bea Arthur
Fantastic because...it's Bea Arthur! Who would think of doing Bea Arthur as a pumpkin??

Jack Nicholson from 'The Shining'
