Rooms go fast in these cozy, critter-filled pumpkins, which offer a shudder-inspiring alternative to traditional carving motifs.
1. Using a marker, draw a circle for each hole.
2. Cut out holes with a keyhole saw; shave edges smooth with a scraper if desired (no interior scraping is required).
3. Fill holes with rubber mice (available at Halloween stores).
4. Listen for screaming neighbors.

I wanted to let you know, I made 4 of these pumpkins this year along with other ideas and everyone (175) kids and then some loved my yard. Of course a lot of smaller children would not come up to my door without a parent, I had scary music playing, a graveyard, a "crash witch" and spiders, rats, mice, etc all over my front porch and yard.
