Submit your Halloween pumpkin pics to /r/horror's carving competition!

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I know right, holy hell

Dude. Dude.

[–]TheJack38 8 points9 points ago

I remember seeing the dinosaur one once... Someone in the comments wrote a piece of text to accompany it. It was beautiful... Saddest thing I've ever read.

[–]name_with_a_y 5 points6 points ago

This the one?

[–]TheJack38 0 points1 point ago

Yes... that one. All the feels man... All of them.

[–]ChrisShnoo 10 points11 points ago

Fuck, emotions.

They're taking over.

[–]ctrubicon 21 points22 points ago

Some of those hit me right in the feels.

[–]nationalparksbuff[S] 25 points26 points ago

The dinosaur one made me grieve.

[–]ctrubicon 7 points8 points ago

The candle one really got me.

[–]nationalparksbuff[S] 14 points15 points ago

It's the fact that the mum candle has to watch the little candle melt :(

[–]1stgamer 1 point2 points ago

That was the first one and it didn't get happier from there.

[–]IrrigatedPancake -3 points-2 points ago

Don't think the guy understands how matches work.

[–]NJDevils30 0 points1 point ago

He isn't striking the match he's pulling it out of the box.

[–]IrrigatedPancake -2 points-1 points ago

That's not very clear.

That scene. I love Wilfred. He's an awesome old dude.

[–]Th3Souleater 4 points5 points ago

Well, that was sad.

[–]chrisnthat 3 points4 points ago

I've only ever salted slugs. I don't think I've ever salted a snail.

[–]MetaAnthro 1 point2 points ago

I did that too, I felt bad for it, now I feel worse.

[–]ashleyhawker 3 points4 points ago

The dinosaur one made me sad :(

[–]rroach 2 points3 points ago

Some of those approached Ziggy level schmaltz. Like eating treacle made with children's tear.

[–]deadair101_84 0 points1 point ago

awwww so sad! :(

[–]tapdathoe 1 point2 points ago

These are amazing. I've always love tragedy in happier mediums.

[–]TheMellowestyellow 2 points3 points ago

Damn, that painting one... Ill be over here, just cutting these onions...

[–]TrialByWombat 2 points3 points ago

Me too.

[–]clarencecolao 1 point2 points ago

how strangely uncomfortable

[–]TypicalTacos 0 points1 point ago

That last one hit me in the feelers. Thanks for getting me depressed. Upvote.

[–]vpovio 0 points1 point ago

I find these comforting because the fact that I didn't feel anything when I read them means I'm back to my normal self and have extracted all the negative influences from the past year and a half or so. Victory at last.

[–]deejaybee11 1 point2 points ago

He is holding the match the wrong way

[–]realmikeybob 0 points1 point ago

"...just like when we play hide and seek."

my heart is broken.

[–]yegua 0 points1 point ago

Get in the magic cave, close your eyes and hold my hand.

[–]sqazm 1 point2 points ago

I don't get the owl one.

[–]nationalparksbuff[S] 2 points3 points ago

Owls are nocturnal and all the other birds sleep at night. He's lonely.

[–]sqazm 1 point2 points ago

Okay. It doesn't really fit the tone of the others.

[–]ngtstkr 3 points4 points ago

As a full time night worker, yes it does. Good lord, yes it does :(

After 5 years of night work, with the exception of my girlfriend, I've pretty much fallen out of every good friendship I once had due to conflicting sleep schedules. The owl comic definitely hit me the hardest of them all.

[–]sqazm 1 point2 points ago

It's a hard hitting and sad comic for sure, but the others are all trying to cover up the depressing bit in some way or look at it indirectly. The owl one is direct and right there. That's what I meant by 'doesn't really fit the tone of the others.'

[–]Zerovarner 1 point2 points ago

The painting one...wow...

[–]bencameron 0 points1 point ago

Thanks everyone x

[–]Janacious 1 point2 points ago

My heart is breaking.

[–]keesh -2 points-1 points ago

Jesus christ, why are these making everyone sad? I'm sorry, I suppose I have thick skin.
