Awkward and Funny Halloween Photos to Keep You Laughing During Spooky Season

The idea was Pinterest-worthy: carve out two pumpkins, place the babies inside, and snap the cutest fall photo ever. Reality? Two furious infants screaming in unison, stuffed into gourds like unwilling jack-o’-lanterns. The orange hats and tiny pumpkin socks only added insult to injury.

Instead of adorable autumn magic, the result looked more like seasonal torture. The pumpkins were festive, the flowers were pretty, but the crying faces said it all: babies don’t care about your Instagram vision. Sometimes the scariest Halloween fail isn’t the costume—it’s the soundtrack of wails that comes with it.
