Whether you muster up the energy to pick and carve a pumpkin, it's still fun to see what creations other people come up with. Here's a collection of some of the more inventive carving ideas for this year's decorative gourd season.

Who knows, maybe some of these weird ideas might spark something in you to get up and get to carving. And if you don't want to go through the hassle of actually cutting up a pumpkin, you can always just grab a Sharpie and doodle on a squash.

Just make sure to throw out or repurpose your gourd after Halloween is over. Leaving these things up until Thanksgiving just looks lazy.
