If your kids are fans of Monster Inc movie, this monstrous pumpkin definitely stirs lots of scare on Halloween night. With a big pumpkin, a gourd with unique veins to create the look of a bloodshot eye, a pointy red banana pepper for the tongue, some curly long jalapenos for the tentacles and couple simple carvings would get this monster octopus on the move. First, clean the gut of the pumpkin by making a cut at the bottom of the pumpkin. Spray paint the entire pumpkin with green acrylic paint. Once the paint is dry, make the cuts for one big round eye and mouth openings. Insert the gourd for the eye to create a one-eye monster. Glue the pumpkin seeds on the mouth opening for the teeth, save a spot for the red pepper. Glue the red pepper to stick out from 1 side of the mouth just like in the picture to create a tongue sticking out. Glue jalapeno peppers to the bottom of the pumpkin for the tentacles. Now you have completed a scary looking one-eye monstrous octopus.
