Ray used the “pale flesh Brant and Eleanor Bordsen’s 1,693 pound pumpkin for the zombies” and the world record-holding 1818.5 pound pumpkin from Kelsey and Jim Bryson was as the base.
Carving pumpkins is one of my favorite Halloween activities. Most of my carvings though don't come out very "artistic". It might have something to do with all the Vodka I consume while carving? Perhaps.
So there's Vodka swilling Pumpkin carvers like me, and then there's people like Ray Villafane of Villafane Studios...
