"Hello. I'm Matt Cail and on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you how to creatively carve a pumpkin. There are many ideas you can use to put a more creative stamp on your pumpkin. I'm just going to cover one today, but don't think this is...I mean this is by no means the only thing you can do. I mean, you can dress up your pumpkin to look more like a vampire. You can put your pumpkin on its side even. You don't have to have the stem at the top, you know; go nuts! Have the pumpkin and even the top come out the side for a change. You can do things like that. You can have pumpkins dressed up like people. The one we are going to be doing today is going to be a "pumpkin of pain." This is a little bit more of a Halloween's horror elements. And we are going to be having a pumpkin who's...he's had a really bad day. Let's put it that way. He's...it's a been a really tough day on the job. His face is looking in a really big vise of anguish. There are going to be a couple of things sticking into the pumpkin. We are also going to be using a pen to add some additional details; some shading and shadowing effects. So at the end of the day, he's not necessarily going to be the most pleasant pumpkin; he's going to be very creative though. "
