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.

It's a double knot, better turn back.

[–]Brammelam 5 points6 points ago

But this is a cursed double knot!

But the double-knot comes with a free fro-yo.

Tutankhamun was a minor king. Imagine the riches a major king like Ramses II would have had in his tomb. A pity they all got robbed.

[–]happywaffle 13 points14 points ago

Notice that the rope and the clay covering it creates a fist on either end. Bad, ass.

K-K-KARMA BREAKERRRRRRR

[–]SirSpiffington 0 points1 point ago

Looking at this guy's profile he has no comments, only posts of stuff already been posted. Sooo

[–]Just_another_man 0 points1 point ago

First time I've seen it.

[–]Scubetrolis 0 points1 point ago

ya....but look how many you clicked on...

[–]CommodusDecides 1 point2 points ago

Doesn't make it any more acceptable.

[–]gliscameria -1 points0 points ago

For something like this I'd say a month is OK. It's not like OP is claiming someone else's work.

[–]frakkingcylon 3 points4 points ago

Undiscovered and Unlooted Tomb, Discovered and Looted.

[–]elifint_wcft 1 point2 points ago

Better grab my boy scout hand book.

[–]redditkilledmygpa 11 points12 points ago

oh look a repost

[–]Cptn_Hook 1 point2 points ago

That knot is entirely too elaborate. If they were going to seal the other end in clay,* it would have been much easier to tie a cow hitch to one side and seal up the two ends of the rope on the other. Impossible to open without breaking the seal or the rope, and the guy could have gone home five minutes early.

*I'm guessing.

[–]Blamemeta 0 points1 point ago

also, cow hitch became popular because of Cowboys. The ancient Egyptians didn't know this knot.

[–]andrewsmith1986 1 point2 points ago

I think that this picture has received the most karma.

[–]SkySilver 7 points8 points ago

I think otherwise

I thought I linked to the reddit post: http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/iwkkx/this_is_called_humanity/

Only 6400 points to go.

[–]andrewsmith1986 -1 points0 points ago

Yeah, but that has only really been the only time it was posted.

The tomb gets posted every week.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Reminds me of Portal 2 with asbestos.

[–]tragic-waste-of-skin 0 points1 point ago

It's cursed I tell ya, cursed!

Call the boy scouts. We are getting in there!!

The constantly reposted seal of king tuts tomb...

[–]BFG_9000 -1 points0 points ago

The broken seal on King Tut's Tomb.

[–]nodnodwinkwink 30 points31 points ago

More like the broken link...

[–]Marth_Aurion 0 points1 point ago

broken link to the broken seal on King Tut's tomb? That's curse-worthy.

[–]KimJongUno 0 points1 point ago

Looks more like a broken link.

[–]KingfishNJ2 -1 points0 points ago

"The image you requested does not exist"...Spooky!

[–]faxwellington 0 points1 point ago

Also one of the most up voted pictures on reddit ever.

[–]robbor -2 points-1 points ago

If it was unbroken it would have seals on both knots.

[–]centurijon 6 points7 points ago

The left side is just looped to the seal on the right. The only way to undo this would be to cut the rope, break the clay seal, or cut the iron bars ... or I guess dig around the door.

[–]jasonok6 4 points5 points ago

Nope, look closely.

[–]DeviouslyIdling -2 points-1 points ago

Chuck Testa?

[–]Crash15 -1 points0 points ago

It's not like you cant cut the rope or anything

[–]OrderAndObey -5 points-4 points ago

Break it!
