I've always been fascinated with stop-motion animation. Such a painstaking art form that you don't see much anymore, in the era of CG. Thankfully LAIKA Studios continues that classic tradition of bringing small puppets to life, while innovating with new technology.
Their studio shot out of the gate with Coraline, which became an instant classic and is often celebrated around Halloween. Most recently, Missing Link won the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film. But personally, ParaNorman is the film that resonates for me. Norman surrounds himself with posters of horror b-movies and talks to ghosts. I can totally relate!
So I was thrilled and honored to collaborate with LAIKA Studios, creating several new pumpkin patterns featuring their heroic animated characters. And you have a chance to get in on the fun too - by carving one of these designs, for a chance to win cool prizes in several categories. Visit the LAIKA Pumpkin Carving Contest page for details about how to enter.
No purchase necessary. Open to legal residents of U.S./CAN (excl. Quebec), 13+. Ends 11:59 p.m. ET 11/1/21. Void in Quebec & where prohibited. Full rules.

I think many pumpkin carvers will be pleased with this release of 5 free patterns. Norman, Fish, Kubo Mr. Link... and especially Coraline, which people have been begging me to offer for ages. But I'm not done with LAIKA quite yet. I want to know... do you like-a LAIKA like I like 'em? And if so, what OTHER characters or creatures from their movies would you like to see on a pumpkin? Just be careful what you wish for. 🧵
You've been looking for a special pumpkin for your fantastic garden? Well she's a peach, she's a doll, she's a pal of mine. She's as cute as a button in the eyes of everyone who's ever laid their eyes on Coraline.
Other kids pick on Norman, but he does have some friends. It's just that most of them aren't exactly alive. Which gives him an edge when battling zombies. After all, you don't become a hero by being normal.
Like all Boxtrolls, Fish dares to be square. As a stand-in dad to Eggs, he can appreciate traditions like Halloween. Fish teaches the child that heroes - like pumpkins - come in all shapes and sizes. Even rectangles.
Pay careful attention to this Kubo pumpkin, no matter how unusual it may seem. If you look away - even for an instant - then our hero will surely perish. So prepare for your quest to carve. If you must blink, do it now.
Mr. Link yearns for companionship. Let your Halloween decor evolve to mythical proportions by welcoming this sasquatch home. Not only is he a charming companion, but he's literally the colors of autumn.
