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.

  6. No animated images. Please submit them to /r/gif, /r/gifs, or /r/reactiongifs instead.

  • 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 came here ready to use fuckword about 30 times and most likely use it against OP's mother.

Seeing this up top had settled the beast. For now.

The millions of units sold were bought up by hai_bai's parents. They wanted him to one day ask if anyone else bought it.

Couldn't sleep one night when I was like six or seven. I must have worked from 2 am to 5 am when my Dad woke up. He was greeted by a DAMN ARMY.

Not me, I pulled one of the trays out when the stuff was still liquid. I (being a very bright child obviously) decided to see if they were melted by touching the goop. Needless to say they were the temperature of the sun and proceeded to burn the shit out of my hand...bad thing is the stuff sticks to your finger so I had to do something. Without thinking I put my finger in my mouth to cool it and then started burning both my finger and mouth at the same time.

I'm fairly certain you're not suppose to eat that stuff. Who knows what's wrong with me today because of that!

I remember a strong, magical burning plastic smell would stink up my room when my brother and I played with this. And I would always fuck up the crawlers by mixing too many colors so they would just come out grey. Do they still even make these?

Walmart was selling them about 3 years ago, of course I had to pick one up :)

I knew it was creepy crawlers from the thumbnail. Anyway, I had this as a kid (just like everyone else). My Jamaican nanny would have to help me because the thing was pretty dangerous. Once she called me when the over bit was all preheated and I didn't come right away so she made the creepy crawlers by herself. I was so pissed off when I found out.

I used to love the smell of that stuff. Used up all my goop instantly when I got a new batch.

I always ruined mine before they cooled. So all my bugs had this goopy mess on the flat part of their body. The delicious toxic plastic smell....it called to me

I still have a dozen or so ants from this thing stuck to the window in my parents' kitchen. They've probably been there for fifteen years.

I used to torture my mom with these things. Hiding them in different places around the house for her to stumble upon.

[–]Phoenixx -1 points0 points ago

I would never get them to work. They always stayed too gooey.

[–]dnew -1 points0 points ago

Nope. I had the kind with the actual electric heater that got hot enough to actually cook them to completion. Without the goofy plastic cover on it. That was the bomb.

[–]Hugsworth -1 points0 points ago

I think your asking the wrong question here. It should be "Who else got one of these as a child and used it once and then never had more goop for it so it sat unused until it was thrown out?"

[–]NorthernSky -1 points0 points ago

I've posted this before, but it is worth the re-post.

One year, for Christmas, my twin brother (I'm a chick) got this kit. We were probably 10 years old or so. He spent the next 4 months making one black spider at a time (since there was only one spider mold per tray) and by the time April Fool's Day came around he had amassed quite the army.

He snuck into my room the night before and covered every possible surface in spiders. I had the biggest hissy fit when I woke up that morning.

I was so mad at him for the longest time! I do, though, applaud his dedication (he never was one to stick to a task for a very long time).

Am I the only one who fucked these up every time? I was too young/too excited. God damn I loved these though.
