It's that time of year again, when all of us only have one thing on our minds...Pumpkin.

Pumpkin spice, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie, or maybe just pumpkin carving. If you're like me or any other basic girl during the autumn, you love pumpkin. You know what else I love? Laughing at Pinterest failures. So stay seated and get ready for some of the most awkward, embarrassing, and just plain hilarious pumpkin failures!

1. These pumpkin cake-pops had so much potential! But somehow, they just fell short.

2. Why. Just why. This is emotionally scarring to me, and I am personally offended.

3. I'm intrigued—has anyone ever seen these? Are they real? Have you used them? If so, I would love to interview you for a follow-up. Would 10/10 basic girls recommend?

4. This is an insult to Miley and to all who have functioning eyes. Stop. Please.

5. This is an adorable concept! Too bad children can't be programmed to smile. This poor kid looks like he/she seen some things in his/her short life.

6. Can someone please inform this gentleman that I would like him to cease and desist immediately! Thank you.

7. Why is Tinker Bell holding a shank and where are her upper thighs? That's all I have to say.

8. Bye. Just bye. Fetus pumpkins are bad enough, this one deserves its own special place in hell. Pun completely intended.

9. I personally am a little upset for whoever ended up baking those cakes only to watch them slowly be ruined by their own hands. Tragic, truly.

10. And lastly...whatever is happening here should have stopped long before it even started. The squash to the right especially makes me uncomfortable. I would like to have an adult near me please.

Before you carve, bake, or craft, remember that the concept of scaring people for Halloween is not meant to be emotionally traumatizing—no fetal pumpkins, questionable condoms, and it's definitely a "no" on the "let's wear them as an outfit" concept. Remember to have fun and take risks! Practice makes perfect, and at the very least, someone will get a good laugh!

When it doubt, Jack-o-lantern it out!
