Some pumpkins have all the luck. While your front porch masterpiece might not have all his triangles in the right place (why are three-sided shapes so difficult?), other squash out there will become amazing works of art. From classic spooks to grumpy old men and favorite movie characters, click through the slideshow below to find 12 wow-worthy masterpieces we scooped from around the web.

Artist Ray Villafane has so many crazy-cool pumpkin designs, it was hard to pick our favorite. It wasn’t hard, however, to marvel over the detail of this work, titled Shattered. From the leering face to the pieces of pumpkin that are bursting off the sculpture, this shatters our notion of the word Jack O’ Lantern.
