Your traditional jack-o’-lantern had two eyes. This nightmare decided eight wasn’t enough and stopped counting.

This isn’t your wholesome harvest festival decoration—this is what happens when Halloween gets serious about being terrifying. Eight spider-like eyes stare out from that grinning pumpkin face, transforming a familiar autumn icon into something that crawls out of fever dreams. The toothy grin and prominent stem complete a design that’s equal parts vegetable and apex predator.

Those multiple eyes create fantastic painting opportunities—imagine them glowing with eerie inner light using object source lighting techniques, or paint them as empty voids that somehow see everything. The pumpkin texture begs for rich orange gradients with darker recesses, while those teeth can range from pristine white horror to aged yellow menace. Weathering the surface with browns and blacks suggests this gourd has seen things, probably while doing unspeakable things itself.

Perfect for Halloween-themed builds, cursed scarecrow guardians, or that woodland witch’s familiar who took a decidedly non-traditional form. The arachnid eye configuration makes this work brilliantly for spider-themed warbands or creatures born from dark harvest rituals gone wrong.

Proof that nature occasionally looks at the drawing board and chooses violence. October’s most wanted, literally.
