How can we make a pumpkin, jack-o-lantern, or other halloween spirit, ghoul, or skeleton?

Question

We have questions about Christmas trees and Hearts for Valentines but we have no questions that specialize in Halloween or Dia de los Muertos art. Here it goes:

Using TikZ or PSTricks or any other of your favorite LaTeX tools, create pumpkins, ghouls, etc., appropriate to the season.

I think multiple submissions should be fine provided different objects are created.

Boys and girls of every age, wouldn't you like to see something strange? :) — Paulo Cereda, Nov 01 '14 at 11:28
We have chickenize. The time is ripe for a pumpkinification package. — Thérèse, Nov 01 '15 at 00:41

Here's some diabolical TikZ code:

\documentclass[tikz,border=0]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{backgrounds}
\begin{document}
\tikz[background rectangle/.style={fill=black},show background rectangle]\foreach\c[count=\i from0]in{red!10!black,red!15!black,red!20!black,red!25!black,red!30!black,red!35!black,red!40!black,red!45!black,red!50!black,red!55!black,red!60!black,red!65!black,red!75!black,red!75!black!75!orange,red!75!black!50!orange,red!75!black!25!orange,red!75!black!5!orange,orange,orange!75!yellow,orange!50!yellow,orange!25!yellow,yellow,yellow!75,yellow!50,white}\clip[preaction={fill=\c},xscale=1-\i/100,yshift=(\i>0)*1.5](-6,-7)(6,3)\foreach\x in{1,-1}{[xscale=\x](0:1)to[bend right]++(315:2)to[bend right]++(60:4)to[bend right,looseness=0.5]cycle}[shift=(270:\i/15),yscale=1-\i/50](0:5)arc(360:330:5 and 3)\foreach\i in{330,300,270,240}{arc(\i:\i-10:5 and 3)--(\i-15:5 and 5)--(\i-20:5 and 3)arc(\i-20:\i-30:5 and 3)}arc(210:180:5 and 3)arc(180:195:5 and 6)\foreach\i in{195,225,255,285,315}{arc(\i:\i+10:5 and 6)--(\i+15:5 and 4)--(\i+20:5 and 6)arc(\i+20:\i+30:5 and 6)}arc(345:360:5 and 6)--cycle;
\end{document}

And this may take until next Halloween to compile:

\documentclass[tikz,border=0]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{decorations,backgrounds}
\tikzset{pics/flame/.style 2 args={code={
  \fill [fill=#1, yscale=1-#2/4, xscale=1-#2/5, rotate=rand*5]

    .. controls ++(270+rand*5:.5+rnd) and ++(90+rand*5:.5+rnd) .. (a) 
    \pgfextra{\pgfgetpath\flame\global\let\flame=\flame};
  \foreach \l in {1,...,20}
    \draw [draw=#1, line width=\l/2, draw opacity=1/10] \pgfextra{\pgfsetpath\flame};
}}}
\pgfdeclaredecoration{flames}{burn}{
  \state{burn}[width=\pgfdecorationsegmentlength]{
     \pic {flame={flame}{\pgfdecorationsegmentamplitude}};
   }
}
\colorlet{flame}{red}
\begin{document}
\foreach \i in {1,...,5}{
\begin{tikzpicture}[background rectangle/.style={fill=black}, show background rectangle, line join=round]
\useasboundingbox (-20,-20) rectangle (20,20); 
\foreach \c [count=\x from 0] in {red!50!black, red!75!black, orange, yellow}{
  \colorlet{flame}{\c}
  \draw [decoration={flames, segment length=1.5cm-\x*0.125cm, amplitude=\x}, decorate] 
    circle [radius=15]
    (270:15) -- (54:15) -- (198:15) -- (342:15) -- (126:15) -- cycle;
}
\end{tikzpicture}
}
\end{document}

I am the one hiding under your bed, teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red! :) — Paulo Cereda, Nov 01 '14 at 11:26
The “depth” in the lower part of the mouth (in the center) has changed (to the worse, in my opinion). Is this intended? Or does the pumpkin need a new dental care plan? — Manuel, Nov 01 '14 at 13:34
@Manuel you're right. In part that resulted from treating the mouth and eyes as one path (before they were independent), making adjustments trickier. I've "kind-of" sorted it now. — Mark Wibrow, Nov 01 '14 at 14:53

A complete Halloween scene, in one line.

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{halloweenmath}
\usepackage{mathabx}
\begin{document}
\[
\bigpumpkin\bigskull\mathwitch\mathghost\mathbat\rip
\]
\end{document}

(I just discovered the awesome halloweenmath package, and must now find a way to use it in my work.)

This just calls for a plot ... (it is probably the ghost of trigonometry)

\documentclass[border=10pt]{standalone}
\usepackage{pgfplots} 
\pgfplotsset{compat=1.18}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\begin{axis}
    \addplot[domain=-pi:pi] {sin(90-deg(x)};
    \fill (0.5,0.25) ellipse [x radius=.1, y radius=.1];
    \fill (-0.5,0.25) ellipse [x radius=.1, y radius=.1];
\end{axis}
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

@AlanMunn But that ghost would have another function, I think ... namely to scare away students from statistics – Jasper Habicht Nov 01 '23 at 17:20

How can we make a pumpkin, jack-o-lantern, or other halloween spirit, ghoul, or skeleton?
