For anyone who remembers the popular children's cartoon character Krang from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, they'll recognize the amazing Krang O' Lantern made by MikeV.
This watermelon and pumpkin hybrid is genius and could quite possibly be one of the best pumpkin carvings I have ever seen. MikeV took a watermelon and carved out the shape and design of one of the coolest carton villains out there and placed it inside of shell of a pumpkin. The pumpkin is also brilliantly carved into the shape of the robotic exo-suit he had Shredder build for him on the show.
I truly enjoy how MikeV decided to use a watermelon to complete the brain-like body of the Krang O' Lantern instead of using a pumpkin. This is sure to scare a lot of small children who will be out trick or treating.
