Haunted Floydian Pumpkin Carving Contest!

Long ago and in a land far far away... in a thriving community called Echoes Hub, lived a headless horseman named Arnold Layne. Arnold lost his head from a single swing of Eugene's axe after being caught stealing his wife's clothes from their washline. Poor Arnold needs a head so he can hear his favorite Pink Floyd tunes.

Every year, around this time, Arnold's spirit returns in an eternal quest to find a head. His tortured soul has been dying to resurrect his hearing ability but only one winning Floydian Pumpkin design can make the spice flow in his head once again.

So now, the task falls upon YOU to carve Arnold a head before All Hallow's Eve. So sharpen your knives and carve your best Pink Floyd pumpkin... Dont be the last one standing in the patch waiting for your great pumpkin to arise. Enter the Echoes Hub Pumpkin Carving contest now and dare to unleash your Darkside.
