In this instructable, you will learn several common and less common procedures in cucurbita surgery. These include:
-lobotomy
-plastic surgery
-construction and use of an artificial brain
-cryogenic preservation.
And now that Halloween is over, I have added a postmortem examination. Read it before attempting to duplicate any of the procedures outlines here.

You'll need different materials and tools for different processes:
For the lobotomy you'll need a knife and a spoon.
For the plastic surgery you'll need a sharpie and a knife.
For the artificial brain you'll need a large LED, a CR3202 battery, wires, a reed switch (optional), and a soldering iron.
For the cryogenic preservation, you'll need steel wire, pliers, a pumpkin-sized vessel (mine was a water pitcher), a roll of pennies, a large pot to boil water, water to boil in a large pot, and something to boil a large pot of water with.
And of course you'll need a patient. Select a pumpkin that will be easy to work with; I have one of those small round ones, but if you're feeling adventurous, you may learn on a larger pumpkin.

Also, a battery holder should work if it's water tight, if water is getting into the battery holder it would probably short and not work anyway.If you're gonna just solder the wires directly to the battery, like you said, you would want to maybe put something around all the joints to make them water tight. Hot glue or epoxy might work. I know batteries + fire = bad, idk if they act weird when frozen though.
One other option might be to have the leads from the LED inside the pumpkin go out of the block of ice and have the power source not be frozen.

And the rapid corrosion that Ian experienced was because de-ionized water dissolves metal, especially good conductors like copper or silver.
