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.

anyone else think this would be a badass video game idea? cute teddy bear vs. horrifying demonic creatures

[–]dclown50 4 points5 points ago

There's a comic series with something similar. it's called stuff of legends. it's pretty cool actually

[–]__BlackSheep 1 point2 points ago

Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Sorta Similiar.

[–]R3luctant 0 points1 point ago

I never knew squirrels were so vulgar, and teddy bears were such sadistic bastards

[–]Sir_Von_Tittyfuck 0 points1 point ago

Damn Nazi bears.

[–]ethraax 1 point2 points ago

This would make an amazing artistic action adventure game.

[–]maplesyrupismajestic 2 points3 points ago

Vaguely reminiscent of Shadow of the Colossus which is easily one of the best games I've ever played.

[–]SuperBeast4721 0 points1 point ago

I completely agree. So simple and vague but beautiful at the same time.

[–]C_M_O_TDibbler 10 points11 points ago

I'd feel safer protected by a Nac Mac Feegle

[–]NightlyNews 0 points1 point ago

Username concurrently made this post and then irritated me off because Dibbler doesn't know of the Nac Mac Feegle.

[–]C_M_O_TDibbler 0 points1 point ago

Ahem constable Wee mad Arthur happens to be a feegle in the employ of the watch

[–]SolidSquid 9 points10 points ago

I'm actually a little disappointed, when I first saw this I thought the hideous monster was tucking her into bed and saying goodnight

[–]DarkCc 2 points3 points ago

same thought here

[–]ItsDanaFTW 18 points19 points ago

I'm the same way with this one by Marydoodles

[–]inakarmacoma -2 points-1 points ago

i'll just leave this here

[–]GiPwner 4 points5 points ago

I wish my teddy was that good. Monsters used to get me all the time :(

[–]Teddybear405 1 point2 points ago

Don't worry i'm here now

[–]hivemonkey 5 points6 points ago

So, do any of us know who actually created this? I've come across this a handful of times over the last 5 or so years, always has an effect on me; it's not right I don't even know the name of the person who did this

[–]chuckfinley31 2 points3 points ago

This is the best source I've got. I don't know if it's the original one though. Maybe someone else knows how to find out. http://begemott.deviantart.com/gallery/?offset=48#/dp4fv7

[–]WickedElf2005 4 points5 points ago*

Looked at comments on this from as far back as I could, all the way to 2006. This seems to be the original artist :)

Also wanted to point out one of the best comments I saw:
"This goes beautifully with Leonard Cohen's "Now of Sleeping". Specifically the lines:
“Bearers of evil fancy
of dark intention and corrupting fashion
who come to rend the quilt
plough the eye and ground the mouth
will contend with mighty Mother Goose
and Farmer Brown and all good stories
of invincible belief
which surround her sleep
like the golden weather of a halo” "
Edit:format

[–]psinet 0 points1 point ago

Maybe if the karma fapper who is OP BOTHERED to credit the original author...makes me fuckin sick.

[–]Flippinpony 2 points3 points ago

I really want to buy a print of this. Can any genius redditors dig up the original source?

[–]floodle 11 points12 points ago

http://begemott.deviantart.com/

[–]Flippinpony 2 points3 points ago

You are a saint.

[–]John_Barleycorn 35 points36 points ago

It still makes me daydream whenever I come across it.

Translation: I know this is a repost. Give me karma anyway.

[–]Skollgrimm 5 points6 points ago

I take solace in the fact that another redditor perceives this in a manner not unlike my own.

Translation: Came here to post this.

[–]Todomanna -2 points-1 points ago

It still makes me daydream whenever I come across it.

Alternative translation: I enjoy this image and wish to share it with people who haven't seen it yet... and give me karma, too.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

this picture is way too true. had a lion when i was really young; imagined him fighting off mystical beasts deep into the night every time i went to sleep.

[–]dustinator 2 points3 points ago

That teddy bear ain't about no shit.

[–]ProtestTheHero 1 point2 points ago

Totally looks like an over-sized Hork-Bajir

[–]Judiciary_Pag 1 point2 points ago

Holy cow, you just brought back so many Animorphs memories. I used to just get them by the stack

[–]UncleJims 1 point2 points ago

Yeah that teddy is dope....

[–]JaneGael 0 points1 point ago

My sister always slept with her teddy. She's in her 50's and still has him. I know he stood watch over her for many nights and probably still does. Repost or not, thanks!

[–]ReaganSmashK 0 points1 point ago

Do you know where this is from? I will gladly pay for a print of this.

[–]SovietSolipsism 0 points1 point ago

Yep. Still thought of New Nightmare.

[–]rise-above 0 points1 point ago

My GF loves this pic and wants to know the story behind it. Can someone shoot me some info? Thanks.

[–]RussianFedora 0 points1 point ago

I'm afraid it's going to gif-out at me.

[–]anotherproductiveday 0 points1 point ago

I don't think pedobear is going to win this one.

[–]Hurm 0 points1 point ago

There's a story in a Sandman anthology called "The Gate of Gold" that reminds me of this, but in reverse. If you ever stumble across it, it's very short and worth the read (meaning, you could easily read it in a bookstore. coughcough)

[–]pylon567 0 points1 point ago

That's just awesome.

[–]ArchM77 0 points1 point ago

Imagine all the times in human history something like this has happened with real people. We will never know about them.

[–]nitesiege 0 points1 point ago

Is there a boy version of this. I would like to make it into a poster for my son.

[–]SEApools 0 points1 point ago

So... I am a 23 year old who has embarrassingly slept with her teddy bear since she was five. Until now. And probably until forever. Thanks?

[–]Brett42 0 points1 point ago

I wish I had a giant thing like that protecting me when my toys came to life.

[–]howerpower 0 points1 point ago

This should be a game.

[–]JSK_Reddit 0 points1 point ago

This is awesome!

"Sweet Halloween Dreams" by Begemott - posted on Deviant Art, 2006.

What is it with you freakin losers and your inability to credit the original author? HOW FUCKIN HARD IS IT? I bet you can whinge for hours about your right to piracy and SOPA/ACTA/PIPA blah blah blah - but you dont even have the basic DECENCY and care-factor to do a SIMPLE search and mention the original artist? You make me sick - karma whoring off the heartfelt work of someone you don't even bother to mention. Not a corporation, not a business - just a struggling student (when it was done).

Fuck you. Dont even bother replying - because I don't give a fuck what you think - you are a waste of electrons.

TLDR: OP is a morally-bankrupt karma fapper.

[–]Impartofthingstoo -2 points-1 points ago

Repost

[–]DarkCc -1 points0 points ago

One of my friends wants to create a photo based on this drawing. Needless to say that he will spend a lot of time photoshopping it.

[–]chr665 0 points1 point ago

When it's done will he post it here?

[–]DarkCc 0 points1 point ago

Probably... Although I doubt he'll do it. He's had plenty of occasions already but never took a picture. :(

[–]chr665 0 points1 point ago

Maybe you can try and convince him. I would certainly like to see the picture.

[–]Liquiditi -1 points0 points ago

Mine never was a teddy bear. What would protect me in the night was my pillow. (I had four on my bed, one on either side of me, one under my head and one I used to cuddle.)

[–]ThE_LordA -5 points-4 points ago

gosh, this is the tenth time i see this pic posted on reddit. Fuck it I'll post it next week and whore in some karma as well. Fuck original content, fuck making own stuff that won't get recognized anyway, let's just repost stuff until we die of boredom.

[–]cosmo7 -1 points0 points ago

You daydream about hypermasculine monsters with phallic teeth entering your bedroom at night and you're defended by an emblem of your childhood.

No, nothing. That's great.

He's just gonna kill her with his spiky finger.

[–]YOU_MADE_ME -3 points-2 points ago

Maybe it's just me but I never felt safer sleeping with stuffed animals. I always knew that they were just stuffed animals and that they would not be able to defend me from anything.
