WebBalloon Boy Exclusive Halloween Pumpkins
Reader Submission: The Balloon Boy Jack-O-Lantern
3:11 pm Thursday Oct 22, 2009 by Caroline Stanley

Yesterday we posted a roundup of 10 Pop Culture Newsmakers as Pumpkins, and threw out a list of personalities we’d love to see in pumpkin form. Shockingly, someone out there was listening. Flavorpill reader Lea Geyser — who will hereon be known as Our Favorite Reader Ever — sent in a photo of a Balloon Boy pumpkin carved by her coworker, Jess Gray. We enjoy the dramatic nature of her carving; Falcon’s delicate body dangling over the harsh cityscape below. Five stars, and many thanks to you both!

Scary illuminated version after the jump.
