Looking for ways to show off your awesome pumpkin carvings this year? Since Halloween can be a competitive decorating holiday, we wanted to give you a head start.

During this season of black cats, candy and ghosts, Halloween pumpkin carvings can either be "scary" or just plain fun.

Below, we've rounded up 85 of the most ambitious, simplest and creative pumpkins we could find around the web, including classic faces, scary creatures and even movie characters.
