Honestly, I don't know how to single out one winner. The Illidan carving is so intricate, but the other finalists are just as clever and creative. It amazes me what people can do with a gourd and a teeny, tiny serrated pen knife. I tried to carve The Little Mermaid into a pumpkin for my daughter last week and it turned out more like Quasimodo. Then the mold set in and Ariel suddenly had a beard. All, all bad.
Head on over to Joystiq to see all the eye-popping finalist and vote on your favorite design.

"Then the mold set in and Ariel suddenly had a beard."
Apropos of very, very little: you can prevent mold from growing on a jack o'lantern by smearing Vaseline (or your favorite other petroleum jelly) on the cut surfaces. Mold won't attach to petroleum jelly, and the mold that's already attached to the pumpkin won't grow. I've had a jack o'lantern last well past Thanksgiving with this trick.
