If you haven't carved your jack-o-lantern, you should watch this clip.  It's the "Do's and Don'ts of Pumpkin Carving" by 73-year-old TikTok'er Barbara "Babs" Costello.

It's basic stuff like "hold it in your lap" and "carve from the bottom".

But she also recommends using a hand mixer to loosen up the guts inside, and designing the face with a dry erasable red marker, because it's easy to wipe off when you're done.  And you should rub Vaseline on the open cut surfaces to make the pumpkin stay moist, and last longer.

10 ‘Sexy’ Halloween Costumes that Actually Exist

"Sexy" Halloween costumes are nothing new, but there is such a thing as going too far with the whole “sexy” angle.

Want proof? Check out these ten “sexy” Halloween costumes that actually exist. Perhaps you'll see one or more of these costumes when attending an upcoming Halloween party!

'Sexy' Wordle

The folks at Yandy call this outfit the "What's the Word Costume" likely for trademark reasons, but we know what this. There aren't enough five-letter words to describe how lame it is to try and make Wordle "sexy."

'Work Harder' Costume

Not quite sure what the point of this costume even is. "Hustle" culture isn't great as it is, but we don't need to make it "sexy."

'Sexy' Pit Crew Member?

Similar to the "Work Harder" costume, this one leads to more questions than answers. Do racing pit crews need to be "sexy"? How affective is this person when trying to change tires quickly considering the bottom half of her boobs are out?

'Con Heiress' Costume

Oh, wow...is this costume wild! The "Con Heiress" costume is not-so-loosely based on Anna Sorokin, the woman who famously posed as a German heiress and con a bunch of high-society New Yorkers out of money. (The whole saga was chronicled in the Netflix series Inventing Anna.) The whole costume is rather simple, but the obvious draw is the included pair of underwear with "Do you accept wire transfer?" on the butt.

'Sexy Edible Gummy' Costume

If you don't understand the context of this costume, you might be high.

'Sexy' Cruella de Vil Couples Costume

Cruella de Vil is actually a great costume idea, but a “Sexy” Cruella with a Dalmatian is slightly disturbing, because of that whole making the dogs into a coat thing.

'Sexy' Top Gun

For those that wanted Maverick, Goose and/or Iceman to hook up, there's some good news with these costumes.

'Sexy' Wonder Woman

This one seems a bit redundant considering Wonder Woman is already sexy, but hey...to each their own.

'Sexy' Movie Popcorn

Seriously, no one asked to make movie popcorn "sexy"!

'Sexy' Chucky Costume

Similar to the aforementioned movie popcorn, no one asked to make the murderous Chucky doll "sexy"! Just stop it!
