By artist Jonathan H. Liu, this Space Invaders pumpkin has a protip built right in. He scraped away at the outside shell as opposed to cutting directly through it. This allowed him to keep the floating eyes on all four of the invaders, while subsequently making us fear ever setting knife to a pumpkin again. Hit the jump for not one, but two bonus shots of Liu's work.

That is the coolest pumpkin so far. A+
I'm working on a pumpkin that depicts Geometry Wars, about a minute and a half into the game. I'm hoping to wrap it up by next halloween.
Oh man. Yeah I must say so far this is the most swank looking one.
Still doesn't beat the Boo one, but a close second. Should really have a contest for best pumpkin and give some swag away.
@CreepyP: You think Geometry Wars is tough? Try a boss battle from Ikaruga.
Best Pumpkin so far
@Tonx: Touche. Haven't yet played that game but I look forward to buying it on live arcade. I've heard nothing but great things.
Best Pumpkin so far [3].
Dunno why, but I prefer older Atari games designs instead of Nintendo ones, even being a Nintendo fanboy.
Awesome.
Have you played Atari today?
Space Invaders was by Tatio/Midway, not Atari. (And that image is from the arcade version, not the 2600 version.)
Still cool tho.
