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.

Don't blink.

[–]aldude3 16 points17 points ago

You know what?

BLINK BLINK BLINK

See I am fine, Nothi

[–]Burlapin 23 points24 points ago

It blows my mind that that is STONE. Marble. Incredible. The delicacy involved in creating such a work is staggering.

[–]bag-o-tricks 19 points20 points ago

Reminds me of The Rape of Prosperpina by Bernini. This close-up did the same to me.

[–]asdfcasdf 13 points14 points ago

What a beautiful rape.

[–]PlasticSky 3 points4 points ago

Yes, but is it honest?

[–]yodawgiherd 0 points1 point ago

legitimately

[–]DarcyHart 2 points3 points ago

WOAH!

[–]dodecahedonist 2 points3 points ago

Or The Rape of the Sabine by Bologna.

[–]kelsanthemum 1 point2 points ago

The pinched flesh of the man's left bicep between the fingers of death is simply astounding.

[–]thelawtalkingguy 9 points10 points ago

He blinked.

[–]evans075 9 points10 points ago

Ahhh The weeping angels.

[–]Slightystoopid 1 point2 points ago

thanks to my befriending a Dr.Who fanatic I get that refrence.... brilliant

[–]muffions 6 points7 points ago

Don't blink.

[–]TheLittlePeace 3 points4 points ago

Shit. The angels are becoming even worse. NOBODY BLINK FOR AMY'S SAKE

I still upvoted the post because I haven't see this before, and I don't think people should downvote reposts of content that they haven't seen before (but that's just me)

[–]MrGoodbytes 3 points4 points ago

I've downvoted OP 9 times so far. He's just like darkreef2.

[–]asdfcasdf 3 points4 points ago

I tagged him as "Liar and Reposter" so I'm pretty much the same.

[–]Reildo 1 point2 points ago

[–]MrGoodbytes -1 points0 points ago

LOL, nice

[–]Zerovarner 2 points3 points ago

Wont upvote because of my Dr Who Weeping Angles fear but still awesome.

[–]summiter 1 point2 points ago

That's a really fucked up rib cage

[–]netonex 1 point2 points ago

Wallpaper please..

[–]Loububsue 0 points1 point ago

Creepy

[–]ms_marlowe 0 points1 point ago

I wonder if this was inspiration for Death in the animated sequence of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1.

[–]w8forit 0 points1 point ago

Must be the grand puba who gives the final kiss of death from the "death panel".

[–]ynoty3k 0 points1 point ago

Stunningly gorgeous!

[–]dcaves 0 points1 point ago

Grave monuments used to be such real works of art, most people don't/can't spring for that anymore. If you take a walk through most modern graveyards, every single headstone might as well have come from Wal-Mart. It's a real shame.

[–]whoadang88 0 points1 point ago

It's true. I love walking through old cemeteries...new ones just don't inspire the same connection with humanity.

[–]CrusaderRabbit 1 point2 points ago

In most places in the US this would be smashed and vandalized within a month.

[–]erveek 0 points1 point ago

Don't you do it! DON'T YOU LIVE ON ME!

[–]OWSucks -1 points0 points ago

Please allow me to downvote your SHITTY repost

[–]Demosecrecy 0 points1 point ago

Quod sumus hoc eritis.

[–]DonTago 0 points1 point ago

This statue makes me think of THIS statue in Vancouver called "Bronze Angel". It is a WWI memorial of an angel bringing a dead soldier up to heaven. Very moving to see in real life.

[–]stun7726 0 points1 point ago

"And then he greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, equals, they departed this life."

[–]zelosdomingo 0 points1 point ago

yeah, if by awesome you mean creepy as fuck.

[–]the_evil_bender 0 points1 point ago

FUCK! That is awesome!!!

[–]ignitr 2 points3 points ago

that would make a nice tattoo

[–]zahavi13 2 points3 points ago

I make this my wallpaper occasionally whenever I need to be reminded, 'Don't worry. All this terrible shit will pass, and one day, Death will embrace you.' It's a surprisingly comforting feeling sometimes.

[–]SolusLoqui 0 points1 point ago

Flying zombies

[–]misadventurist 0 points1 point ago

I remember seeing that when I visited, pretty creepy.
