Tortured Pumpkins (Papier Mache)

[STOLLOWEEN]

Completed a collection of 13 Tortured Pumpkins, these poor innocent souls have been subjected to extreme brutality by unseen forces.

The pumpkins are made with a combination of pumpkin building techniques posted on my site but also contain a few twists guaranteed to make Jack O’ Lanterns cringe in fear everywhere.

Get the how-to here. (http://www.stolloween.com/?page_id=4690)

Coolest...pumpkins...ever!

[cerinad]

Wow.. i really love these! Thanks!

[Vlad]

Fantastic as always.

[heresjohnny]

Amazing attention to detail, love the new twist on jackolanterns!

[rottincorps]

You Know when you post something that is great you do it right before the big night....so I don't have time to build them. Great Job!.....now I something else on my to-do list...next year....maybe

[RoxyBlue]

I think we're going to just stop trying to grow pumpkins and start making mache ones like these. The gruesome add-ons take these to a whole new level of haunting - well done!

[psyko99]

Those are awesome. I don't know how you pull these things off. I've got a paper mache project that's been sitting unfinished for weeks 'cause I haven't had time to get back to them.

[Bone To Pick]

Excellent as always, stollo! You're like the Martha Stewart of paper mache horrors. ;)

[Spooky1]

You've been busy! You are the King of Mache! They all look great (and in pain), or should that be, in great pain. :)

I agree with Roxy. Growing pumpkins is starting to look like a bad idea. But I wonder if you took a pumpkin seed , wraped it in newspaper and watered it with mache paste----- Mmmmm it just might work.

Hey sounds like a plan to me...LOL :D

[hpropman]

[Lunatic]

Wow, those are beautifully original. Very nice!

[bourno]

Scott, where do you store all these creations?? Nice work again, ole mache master

[Bob Foster]

Great project. Thanks for sharing.

[nixie]

The poor things...
They're amazing! Great work, as usual!

[JohnnyAppleseed]

Wow again! Poor fellas, hope they at least enjoy thier Halloween!

[kevin242]

The skull pumpkin with the sharp teeth on the second row right is my favorite. All of the rusty metal hardware and expressions make for a very cool and spooky scene!

[smileyface4u23]

Absolutely amazing!!!

[Wyatt Furr]

Great Job as always ,Scott.

[IMU]

Great work as always!

[Gothyc Designs]

[krough]

[GhoulishGadgets]

I can't add more to the words said by others..

[debbie5]

About how much do these guys end up weighing when done?? Congrats on the birth of new creations!

[dynoflyer]

Really nice work, Stolloween! I love the detailing, you da man.

[howlin mad jack]

You have taken jack-o"s to a "whole notha' level" awesome job as usual!!!

[bobzilla]

Love em !!!:D

[PirateLady]

Nice work...

[weaz]

These are so cool, I can't believe it. Fantastic job!

[STOLLOWEEN]

Thanks for the positive comments...the thing I really like about this concept is that it can be applied to real pumpkins....stick some nails, bolts, screws or barbed wire into real pumpkins and presto you've got something a bit twisted and different.

[Dixie]

What a great idea, Stoll... I don't think I would have thought of this in a million years! We did Zombie Pumpkins theme last year, and these would have rocked!! Argh! To have your imagination for just tennnnn minutes! :)

[Dead Things]

Amazing work as always, Scott. Such attention to detail. You are truly a mache magic man. I agree with Dixie, 10 minutes of your imagination!!!

[apetoes]

Simply Outstanding!

[fick209]

Absolutely incredible work, your attention to all of the details is inspiring!

[SuperCreep31]

no clue how you do it-just know you are the king of paper mache

[Plastic Ninja]

One of the best props I've ever seen. Great detail, cool concept.

[nunyabidness]

..those are easily some of the best, if not the best, paper mache works I have seen yet.

[My CReePY Garage]

awesome work. very detailed and very imaginative. Next year I'll be home from Iraq and hope to make some props. You set the bar high.

[punkin]

I love your stuff!! Your's was the first website I found that got me interested in making Halloween props! Thanks for the inspiration :)

[lisa48317]

These are amazing! The range of expressions is great!

I always wonder how paper-mache holds up in the weather, seeing how unpredicible Michigan Octobers can be. I know its sealed & stuff, but I still wonder......

I notice you're not to far from me - I practically grew up in Coleman.
