Pumpkin Carving Ideas For Halloween

Things we can learn from the video

Press to jump

1:07A water-based pen lets you adjust the face's outline before cutting.
3:42The piece removed from the mouth becomes a protruding tongue.
6:27Carving tools and acrylic paint add rounded white eyes and teeth to the screaming face.
7:14A large pumpkin's mouth holds a miniature pumpkin in a revisited design.

What can you make from the piece you've just cut out of a pumpkin's mouth? DaveHax turns it into a protruding tongue, giving a goofy face an extra feature without reaching for another pumpkin.

That small bit of reuse is a highlight of "Pumpkin Carving Ideas For Halloween," the most-watched of his five uploads this week, with about 80,000 views. Starting with printed designs, he works through a Jack Skellington-style face, the tongue-out pumpkin and a tall, screaming face with sculpted, painted eyes and teeth. Drawing the outlines with a water-based pen leaves room for adjustments before the cutting begins. "You can get away with so much when you're carving a pumpkin; they're very forgiving," he says.

The comments make this feel like an annual appointment. Viewers remember earlier carving videos, discuss getting their own carving tools and recognize Jack Skellington in the opening design. One says they had been watching the older uploads earlier that same day.

Pumpkins account for most of the new lineup, including a being-sick design and a pumpkin disco ball. The disco-ball upload has the strongest daily momentum right now, with the older magnetic-toy test "This Is Weirdly Addictive!" close behind. A bubble cube and a many-sided fidget cube supply this week's non-pumpkin diversions.

Across the channel, the week brought roughly 2.2 million views and an unchanged subscriber count. Daily viewing is a little below its usual pace; nearby DIY channel Adam Savage's Tested is having a livelier spell, with subscriber growth and above-usual daily views.

DaveHax closes the carving tutorial by returning to an old favorite: a large pumpkin apparently eating a miniature one, a design he says he first made years ago.

What viewers say

I’m impressed with the amount of different ways you’ve designed pumpkins each year. I’ll have to get a carving kit like what you’ve had the last few years and give it a try to make different types of pumpkin designs
