Happy Halloween from Eric Northman...

My husband is so awesome!

Last night he carved my favorite "True Blood" vampire on a pumpkin for me!

This shit is going on our fkg porch tonight along with TC's Spider Pumpkin and Bert's Howling Wolves pumpkin (those pictures to be posted later)! Check at the end of this post for all three pumpkins together!

Here's the hawt photo from which the design was based (this is Season 2 Eric, not Season 1 where he wears that fugly bobbed pageboy wig)

This Eric Northman stencil is courtesy of one half of the fab duo that makes up the blog "Camp Blood". These are two guys with a penchant for comics and horror movies.They are also frequent commentators on the podcast "Loving True Blood in Dallas" (check Dallas's blog here). Andy Swist has other "True Blood" themed stencils like Lafayette (yaysss!), Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton (boo).

Check it out here: Eric Northman pumpkin stencil from Andy's Brains!!!

As promised, here are our three pumpkins...

Carvings courtesy of Bert (Eric Northman and the howling wolves) and TC (black widow spider). The wolf in the middle used to have sharp teeth but they kind of disintegrated (it was carved a day and a half before Halloween). Lots of detail in that one. I loved my Eric pumpkin! So fkg rad!

Nice!! I showed Paul the pumpkin not telling him who it was and he guessed Eric Northman.

Mary said...

hi c - yes, i agree! :) i was happy that he made this for me!

hi darlene - points for paul!

hi mary - thanks - people were taking pix of our pumpkins but most of them did not know who it was supposed to be. i guess they were not true blood fans. i don't expect the young kids to get it but at least some of the adults, but no. they are probably into other shit instead of true blood.

hi wc - bert always enjoys a challenge!

hi AA! thanks for visiting! believe it or not, he used those cheap-o pumpkin carving kits as well as a very thin/narrow exacto knife.
