Done freehand, which is what I usually do, with a small knife, an old-school metal vegetable peeler, and one of those dinky pumpkin-carving saws (which was somewhat the worse for wear when I finished with it). The fearsome glow is from a chunky pillar candle (the second year in a row it's been used for this) with an aluminum foil reflector over the entire back wall of the pumpkin.

We haven't had as many trick-or-treaters this evening as we usually do. There was quite a lot of childish noise outside last night, so maybe some kids went out then - although that seems pretty silly, because most of us weren't handing stuff out.
