Halloween Campout Pumpkin Display

We had an Indian Princess campout this weekend, right in front of Halloween, so we had an inter-tribal pumpkin carving competition. It wasn't about individual pumpkins, it was the tribal theme that mattered.
I came up with this "Angry Peasants Storming Frankenstein's Castle" idea (concept art above, reality here).
Acacia and I did the dismayed-looking Frankenstein, and all the other kids just had to portray "angry" (with a little design help from me).
I brought along some lamp oil and we made little torches ('cuz what's an angry mob without torches?). That really made it look cool at night when the judges came by. And we managed not to burn the forest down.
