Steve Spangler's self-carving pumpkin sends its face flying

Three new Sick Science! uploads pair an ignition-powered jack-o'-lantern with dry ice potions and a spider-shadow question.

The pumpkin's face is already cut. Steve Spangler supplies the dramatic exit: a countdown, ignition at the back, then a flash that sends the eyes, nose and mouth flying out onto the ground. This is a chemical-ignition demonstration, not a pumpkin carving itself from scratch.

"Self Carving Pumpkin! #halloweenscience #stevespangler" is the most-watched of the channel's three new uploads, reaching nearly 9,000 views. The outdoor demonstration takes only seconds, with Spangler wearing gloves and glasses and stepping back after the pieces pop free.

The rest of the week's little laboratory leans into seasonal curiosities: "Can You Freeze a Spider's Shadow? #SteveSpangler #stemeducation" and "Bubbling Dry Ice Potions". Dry ice also supplies the smoke-filled spectacle in October's "Spooky Crystal Bubble", which remains among the channel's active draws alongside September's "Trick Your Friends Into Opening This Bottle". The pumpkin is currently drawing the most daily views of those uploads.

Across Sick Science!, the week added roughly 541,000 views while subscribers stayed unchanged. Daily viewing is currently comfortably above its usual level. Among nearby science channels, JaDropping Science had a particularly busy week, while Cody'sLab's daily viewing stayed close to normal.

Spangler's taste for theatrical bubbles has deep roots in this library: "Halloween Dry Ice Boo Bubbles", posted in 2009, remains the channel's most-watched regular video. The new potions have some long-serving company.
