Squirrel Sticks Head in Pumpkin; Officially Wins Halloween

To give his kids a little scare, London-based photographer Max Ellis hung some scary carved pumpkins in the backyard, hoping to catch them by surprise.

What he didn’t count on was who would actually be getting the fright.

Some curious squirrels stumbled upon Ellis’ mini Jack-o-Lanterns, and couldn’t resist doing some investigating. Still, they at first seemed hesitant. But the lure of possible food was apparently too much, and one brave squirrel decided to stick their head in one of the pumpkins.

What resulted is a mixture of hilarious and downright creepy. Take a look at the ‘Pumpkin Squirrel’ below.
