I saw a girl with a suitless Samus costume the other night. Pretty awesome, even if it didn’t require a whole lot of effort. The hair was perfect, too.

To Spiritsnare, thanks a lot. I’ve been carving videogame themed pumpkins for about 10 years now and it’s always fun to take on the challenge and make something really cool.
To Edgar, I appreciate the compliments on the pumpkin, thank you. Maybe next time I’ll carve one the day before, but usually I’ve waited until the day of Halloween. Either way though, supplying any cool Nintendo treats is what’s most important.
