3. Batman
Difficulty Rating: 9/10 No Halloween would be complete without the most Gothic of all the superheroes, and the iconography of the character (and his villains, as we've already said) offers a raft of opportunities for some of the coolest pumpkin designs. And if you're not up to the challenge of adding textures to your design, there are graduated levels of difficulty...
The appeal of Batman of course - and part of his success - lies in the fact that even the most simple of symbols are immediately recognisable, making even novice carvers able to proclaim their Bat-love...
Or of course, you could go to the dark side, and do as so many others have in choosing the Joker as your inspiration...
