Meet the Halloween Masterminds of Maniac Pumpkins

While everyone has seen a cool jack-o’-lantern tutorial on Pinterest, none of those pumpkins can hold a candle to the creations of Maniac Pumpkins. Maniac Pumpkins is the leading fine-art pumpkin carving duo on the East Coast (and possibly the world.) The pair, Marc Evan and Chris Soria first began creating art during their time in high school and their love for pumpkins started at the Parsons School of Design. Evan and Soria spent years building their name, soon collaborating with big name clientele such as Martha Stewart, Food Network and the New York Yankees.

Today, you can seen their work displayed in the pages of Oprah Magazine, on the cover of Entertainment Weekly and on live television with Jimmy Fallon. Take a look at some of our favorite pieces from their talented team of pumpkin carvers and let us know in the comments section on Facebook what you think of their impressive artistry.
