The Last of the Pumpkin Architecture

Not in the whole world just for this year here at Offbeat. I may have a few spooky place lined up for later though. Cedar and are baking scary cookies in a few minutes so if the kitchen fails to explode I’ll be back today.

These folks are in the spirit.

Check out this fellow’s jack o’ lantern grin.

And lastly a structure of sorts for the kids… The most expensive pumpkin swing in the world! Don’t quote me on that but it is expensive and it’s the only pumpkin swing I’ve ever seen. It’s made by Fletcher & Mburgh Designs.

Hope your Halloween has gotten off to a nice and spooky start!

The Last of the Pumpkin Architecture

Offbeat Pumpkin Architecture

So far for Halloween Offbeat Homes has brought you jack-o-lantern homes and an Offbeat haunted house round-up. Still Halloween fails to be complete without actual pumpkin architecture; better known as pumpkin carving. I can’t show just any old boring pumpkins at Offbeat so here are some of the most offbeat carvings I’ve seen this year. Maybe you’ve seen some of them but hopefully not all.

Saturday Night Fever

Pure, yet adorable evil

A fat lunch

Huh?

What Offbeat Homes Halloween is complete without a Jack o’ Frank Lloyd Wright

Nice! Now get out there and carve your own offbeat pumpkin magic.

Offbeat Pumpkin Architecture

Jack-O-Lantern Homes

With Halloween quickly approaching it’s time to get your pumpkin game on. Now you could do a simple jack-o-lantern home like this:

But while neat and a great offbeat home idea you won’t be wowing the pants off anyone with this baby. What you need is something with a bit more punch.

And a lot of orange and black paint!

Or heck, why not use the real thing to build a house.

With smart architectural planning you don’t even need pumpkins or orange paint to create the perfect jack-o-lantern home.

You should however attempt to get the shape correct when building a jack-o-lantern home. Like these folks.

In the winter this home looks frosted!

If all else fails you can photoshop yourself a house like this Pretend Pumpkin House from Worth 1000. Fake but oddly livable and no doubt pumpkin coolness redefined.

More pumpkin and Halloween house fun to come!

Don’t forget to play…
