Pumpkins used as decorations outdoors are a scam perpetuated by squirrels

Have you seen the squirrel made jack-o'-lanterns? Apparently you drill holes and fill them with peanut butter where you want the eyes, nose, mouth.

They're perfectly horrifying.

I wanted to do one but i was worried about offering them a food source near my house and then taking it away. My mom had squirrels in her attic and it was a pain the the ass to rid and repair.
