For this year's Jack Morton pumpkin carving contest, a team of creatives who were led by an esteemed art director named Chris Maroney designed an incredibly intricate Stranger Things pumpkin.
In order to make the winning piece, Chris Maroney and his team took scenes straight out of the beloved science fiction Netflix Original series. Cutting a large window into one side, they show Joyce Byers clutching a bundle of illuminated Christmas lights, as she desperately tries to speak to her mysteriously missing son.
On another side, they include the boy's friends' silhouettes on bikes. Chris Maroney and his team complete the Stranger Things pumpkin with a scene of the terrifying ulterior universe where supernatural creatures lurk and the character Will is trapped in.
