Animal and Sci-Fi Pumpkin Carving Templates

We may be slightly obsessed with the pumpkin templates over on ThinkGeek's website. The online shop for everything nerd culture is currently holding its annual Great Geeky Pumpkin Template Contest, and submissions are pouring in to help readers carve clever and crafty pumpkins for Halloween. We picked our favorite cuddly templates that are a little bit sweet (Hello Kitty), a little bit whimsical (Totoro), and way too hilarious not to share (Gory Tauntaun). Check out the ones we're considering carving, and view all the submissions on ThinkGeek's blog.
