Oh boy, you clicked, didn’t you.

Honestly, whose brilliant sick mind came up with this insane jack-o-lantern, spotted on a stoop on West 99th street between Riverside Drive and West End Avenue?

It’s freaking me out.

I don’t know why natural pumpkin-birth is so ‘brutal’ – you know, billions of pumpkins have done it this way before, and many more will come after. Did you want them to cut her open?
