The weeping pumpkin

I wanted to add a little DIY to my pumpkin carving this year.  The following details how I made a pumpkin cry fake blood.

Step 1 Materials

When doing this, I used materials I already had around the house.  Depending on what you have on-hand, you may wish to substitute as necessary.

Pumpkin (obviously)
"One Step Gardens" irrigation drip kit from Harbor Freight (ITEM 46095)
Pump from a desktop fountain
2 buckets
Pie pan
Cardboard box
Garbage bag

I don't think the blood is dark enough, but good job on the prop! Of course, people can change it to their taste... you could make it drip from the mouth and have a scary faced pumpkin.
