Do you carve a special face that's become your trademark every Hallowe'en or do you try something different each year?

Every year it's different. This year I carved a "kappa" a Japanese water spirit that looks like a humanoid turtle, except with a small indentation in it's head shaped like a bowl, that is filled with the water from it's home. I did it over two weeks ago and had to soak the pumpkin twice in bleach and water to kill the ants, mold, and let it swell it up again.
I also did a "doc cu'o'c" which is a guardian spirit that appears as half a man with an axe. So I cut a pumpkin in half and carved half a face on it. It looked like ***** except for at one specific angle, so I tossed it after a couple of embarrassing days on my porch.
I have a new pumpkin and will try to think of something else before carving it tomorrow.

It's Physallis you have in mind but it's common name is Chinese Lanterns not Jack o Lantern. Jack O Lantern is a pumpkin.

Something different each year, it's more fun that way. I have a spider in a web, a little devil, a raccoon popping out of a jack-o-lantern, and a spider web on jack-o-lanterns this year. Last year it was cartoon characters. I usually let my son pick what we're going to carve.

I usually do 8 to 10 pumpkings per year. I have approximately 100 different patterns to choose from. I got a majority of them from Pumpkin Masters pattern books I have one or two that I do every year and the rest depend on the shape of the pumpkins I buy.

I suggest carving it any way you want. Just put a bowling ball in it instead of a candle. When the punks come to smash it, they'll be in for a BIG surprise!!

My family hasn't carved a jack-o-lantern since I was in Kindergarten. A long, long, long, long time ago... Too many punk kids in the neighborhood. I think you can fill in the rest.

My family always gets patterns off the internet and we always do something new. One year my dad did Mona Lisa and another year he did Scooby Doo.
