Will you remain stone-faced in front of this deceptive smile? Under the pale glow of a Halloween night, this carved pumpkin watches you, motionless... yet its narrowed gaze and wide, stitched grin seem to pulse with a troubling malice. It almost dares you to come closer, to uncover its secret — all while knowing you might regret it. Behind it, crosses and tombstones stand like a silent guard, as if waiting for the moment when the scene will come to life.

To heighten the sense of menace, you can play with contrasts: a burnt orange streaked with deep shadows for the pumpkin, a stem in near-black dark green, and tombstones in shades of leaden gray, midnight violet, or charcoal black. A faint red or yellow glow in its eyes could give the impression they burn in the darkness... and never stop following you.

Now it's your turn to color this scene — and decide: harmless decoration or messenger from beyond the grave?
