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.

Source. Begemott on deviantART.

Thank you, it drives me nuts when people don't give the source for others art.

[–]Ceadol 2 points3 points ago

And if you just don't know who the source is? I've seen this picture half a dozen times on different sites and I had no idea where it came from until now.

[–]Truderik007 41 points42 points ago

Anybody want this as a 1080p wallpaper?

[–]Naisallat 7 points8 points ago

I made one for myself awhile back too. I really like this piece.

[–]Truderik007 1 point2 points ago

wow, I love it. Awesome work

[–]nakedjay 8 points9 points ago

Came for the wallpaper, not disappointed.

[–]LtCthulhu 2 points3 points ago

What about smartphone wallpaper?

[–]Naisallat 3 points4 points ago

I made this awhile back for my HTC Evo 4G (960x800), it might work out for you.

[–]LtCthulhu 0 points1 point ago

Great job!

[–]Truderik007 -1 points0 points ago

Can't help you there, sorry. :(

[–]LtCthulhu 1 point2 points ago

No worries mate

[–]Jeptic 1 point2 points ago

Thank you. Set already

[–]Adestraberry 1 point2 points ago

Thanks

[–]Rizzpooch 0 points1 point ago

Why is there an angry cat to the left? And what is written directly above the teddy bear? Very nice, though, I'm just curious

[–]The_Ham 141 points142 points ago

If you are going to repost this, at least find the artist and do them credit by adding their name to this post. Unless you are the artist, then good game.

[–]DanKillz 15 points16 points ago

Do you know who the artist is? I've been looking to get a poster made of this for ages, my girlfriend loves it. Looked before and found it very hard to get a high-res image. If I was to get one I'd rather pay the artist too.

[–]charientisms 11 points12 points ago

Sweet Halloween Dreams - begemott

[–]DanKillz 0 points1 point ago

Thanks very much!

[–]devilbird99 2 points3 points ago

Trying to recall... It might be an early comic on rockpapercynic.com

Or not based on other replies.

Edit: I was recalling this comic.

[–]Todomanna 0 points1 point ago

Everyone knows google reverse image search is better anyways.

[–]brningpyre 1 point2 points ago

Your post got so many upvotes, it pushed down the actual source posts.

[–]THEDAWNISYOURENEMY 0 points1 point ago

Also seen a post with some girl who had this tattooed on her... the monster was different though...

[–]Tubaninja 12 points13 points ago

Yes it's a repost - it's been posted here a hundred times. It's awesome; it deserves it. People who have never seen it before have now seen it. That's a GOOD thing, redditors.

Some credit to the artist would be nice, though.

[–]mississippi_mud 2 points3 points ago

Yeah, according to the chart above I didn't see it until the 9th time so reposting is OK as long as it isn't every other week.

[–]Tubaninja 2 points3 points ago

Fuck the hivemind. Repost away. If your post gets upvoted, that means there were plenty of people who hadn't seen the content yet. If it gets downvoted and flamed early, what have you really lost?

People will complain that you're stealing someone's karma , but karma doesn't really exist- It's not real.

[–]Wetai 0 points1 point ago

Are you saying that karma scores/points aren't stored in a database somewhere? In that sense karma does exist.

[–]Ceadol 0 points1 point ago

Seriously. I've seen this picture a half a dozen times or more and it will still get an upvote from me every single time. This picture is just that fantastic.

I say it a lot; but I miss MrOhHai.*

*edit: link provided to his righteous anger against reposters.

[–]solwiggin -5 points-4 points ago

can a newfag get an explanation? Who's Mr_OhHai.

Edit: TY MaeveningErnsmau. I've had a great time reading those comments.

[–]teusz16 2 points3 points ago

Sorry I can't help you with Mr_OhHai, but the reason you're being downvoted is because "newfag" is 4chan speak. Reddit's a little too PC for that.

[–]solwiggin 0 points1 point ago

Thank you for taking the time to answer a question that I wasn't going to ask.

[–]oD323 -1 points0 points ago

[–]teusz16 2 points3 points ago

Lol I guess that's an appropriate response.

[–]kraddy 1 point2 points ago

[–]MaeveningErnsmau 0 points1 point ago

You bet, he was once reddit's resident crank, but it became far too great a task for one man. The mantle falls on us all now

Yea, and skip the "newfag" bit, no one wants to read that.

[–]solwiggin 0 points1 point ago

Sorry, I forgot that people still care about what word someone uses to describe something...

[–]MaeveningErnsmau 0 points1 point ago

I know all of these words, but somehow in that order, not much sense in them is made, at least to me, who is reading it.

[–]solwiggin 0 points1 point ago

I'm saying that I'm desensitized towards caustic language so I don't even perceive an issue.

[–]Eyeball75 5 points6 points ago

Good guy Teddy.

[–]FuTRoN 4 points5 points ago

thats always how i felt... that he would beat the living shit out of any and every beast trying to murder me

[–]Sir-Prize 1 point2 points ago

I swear my teddy did this for me every night of my childhood. Thanks Pooky.

[–]ghryzzleebear 11 points12 points ago

You did that? That's awesome! I had saved the imgur link because I thought it was brilliant.

That one was much funnier with the changed caption.

What is a repost doing on Reddit?

"What is this, Bizzaro-World?"

[–]tofar48 3 points4 points ago

This would make one sick ass game

Teddy! Protect us from this reposts! ... Too late...

[–]samuelfreak661 -2 points-1 points ago

[–]CountryBoy06260 0 points1 point ago

The artist I believe is a 23 year old in the Navy. Also a good friend of ours.

[–]jonathan5150 1 point2 points ago

thought it was this guy at first.

[–]RoyallyTenenbaumed 1 point2 points ago

I read that as "Teddy the Prospector" and was very very confused

[–]PlumpPlatapus 0 points1 point ago

Looks like Corperal Beast to me

[–]kanasaurus 1 point2 points ago

This is awesome! It reminds me of the bear I gave my fiance when her dog passed away. I was working third shift and "Buddy Bear" made her feel safe at night while I was at work. She is gonna love this.

[–]Choochoocazoo 1 point2 points ago

I'd honestly rather be protected by the giant ripped dog-demon than the bear.

[–]doctor_equinox 1 point2 points ago

I'd rather have the monster.

[–]Eruanno 0 points1 point ago

Actually, isn't the kid closer to the monster than the bear is? In my mind, the bear is all like "screw it, you can have the kid if you leave me alone, okay?"

[–]NeverrSummer 1 point2 points ago

Teddy is the one on the right.

[–]bkow -1 points0 points ago

I have had this damn picture for ages. downvote.

[–]chrisnthat 0 points1 point ago

That is uncannily similar to the monster that would materialise and eat any body part that I left out from under the covers..

[–]DrKC9N 1 point2 points ago

Went to the artist's deivantArt page and bought 2 prints. Thanks for reminding me.

[–]chrometoucan 0 points1 point ago

i find these types of paintings/artworks trite and unimaginative

[–]JumboJ3t 0 points1 point ago

this again? It must be a new week

"He's mine," says Pedobear.

[–]Kamakazi1 0 points1 point ago

It looks kinda like a skag and Tiny Tina. I mean, it doesn't really look like Tiny Tina...but that looks like a skag.

[–]AdaAstra 0 points1 point ago

This is old, but I still love it. I miss my teddy bear :(

[–]djryanj 1 point2 points ago

Repost it may be, but I still love the imagery in this. My daughter looks incredibly like the little girl in this loves her teddy (who ALSO looks incredibly like the teddy in this) and so it oddly gives me some feels to know that he's looking over her; imagined or real.

Someday soon I'm going to post this up in her room so she know's she's safe.

Either that or the monster will scare the living shit out of her every night, I can't decide which.

[–]thermal171 1 point2 points ago

the monster kind of reminds of the monsters in a novel i read called The Passage. By Justin cronin.

[–]Fuzzyphilosopher 1 point2 points ago

I can't help but upvote this pic every time I see it.

[–]usclone 0 points1 point ago

This artwork really is amazing!

[–]CdrVimes 0 points1 point ago

That's not teddy, that's Best Bear! Best Bear does this for my daughter.....

[–]veruus 0 points1 point ago

Also, your blanket or sheet acts as impenetrable armor until Teddy's done whipping monster ass.

[–]tha_ape 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of General from "Cat's Eye"

[–]NORSMAN 0 points1 point ago

I got my teddy tattooed on me for this reason exactly.

[–]Ancientson88 0 points1 point ago

my teddy is the dragon on the right protecting me from the creepy toy bear.

[–]kyuubi42 0 points1 point ago

Tibbers?

[–]Lanrefni[!] 0 points1 point ago

Have you seen my bear Tibbers?

[–]beertap 0 points1 point ago

This reminds me of an alien/monster thing I drew in middle school. It looks pretty awesome. Apparently the outline looked like a penis, though, so a male student pointed it out immediately and gave me shit about it for maybe a week.

So for a few more years I assumed a penis looked something like the monster in this picture.

[–]Aubrey76 1 point2 points ago

i don't have enough up votes for You.

[–]KilgoreTroutJr 1 point2 points ago

Thank you for the re-post. Seriously. I've never seen this, so just because it isn't new to the fascists on Reddit does not mean it is not new to someone else.

Also, this is stupid. All Teddy is doing is giving the monster some desert.

[–]Tebasaki 0 points1 point ago

That creature looks like it could have a very intelligent, rational, and most likely eloquent conversation with you.

[–]doismellbacon 0 points1 point ago

can someone make a better one? give the bear some daedric armor or something. make it look like he has a chance. All i see in this picture is a bear thats about to go missing.

[–]kajetansd 1 point2 points ago

When you hear the sound of thunder, don’t you get too scared. Just grab your thunder buddy, and say these magic words. FUCK YOU THUNDER! YOU CAN SUCK MY DICK. You can’t get me, thunder, ‘cause you’re just gods fart.

[–]TangoEliminated 1 point2 points ago

Don't care if it is a repost. This is my first time seeing it. Kinda makes me tear up. Love you, Bud.

[–]Wildcard1222 0 points1 point ago

The better title for this "Teddy Bears: protecting children from what goes bump in the night since 1914 (I can't remember the date)"

[–]EPIC_RAPTOR 0 points1 point ago

I've always loved this illustration and I will continue to upvote it each and every time I see it. I wish I knew who the artist was. :(

[–]iplaywithblocks -1 points0 points ago

Just because this is a repost to YOU, whoever YOU are, doesn't mean it isn't brand new and beautiful to someone else. Just because you saw it first doesn't mean you're entitled to be the only one to ever enjoy it. Reddit gets new members daily, and they may have never seen the image before. It's obvious by the number of upvotes on the picture, that either people still like seeing it posted, or new people are seeing it, and one way or another it's making people happy. Nobody made you click it, so why bitch?

[–]OsamaMKH -1 points0 points ago
