16. The Gothic Cathedral Window
Channel the architecture of ancient, haunted cathedrals with this sophisticated design. Carve a tall, pointed Gothic arch into the front of a dark green or black-painted pumpkin. Within the arch, carve intricate, symmetrical tracery patterns resembling stained glass windows. Place a flickering white candle inside to cast long, dramatic, cathedral-like shadows that add an air of solemn mystery to your decor.
