• A Seasons Gone By design

If pumpkins could cackle, this one definitely would. The Black Pumpkin Bucket by Christopher James looks like it’s fresh out of a Halloween cartoon where it plays the trickster with a toothy grin and eyes that follow you around the room. This wide-eyed character leans into the eerie side of October, with feline-like pupils, a fiery fade at its base, and paper inserts that glow eerily when lit from within.

Standing 9.5 inches tall (handle included), this piece is formed using original vintage molds, giving it the unmistakable shape and texture of traditional papier-mâché Halloween collectibles. The matte black finish is offset with vivid orange around the brows and the base, almost like the whole thing is hovering over flickering flames. The face? Part goblin, part pumpkin, part animated gremlin, all attitude.

This bucket doesn’t play it safe. It’s got a mouth full of yellow teeth that looks like it’s one spell away from speaking, and an expression that’s either about to break into laughter or plotting which candy to swipe first. You’ll find a trio of paper inserts tucked into the eyes and mouth, making it easy to pop in a tea light or LED and let it glow like it’s waiting for midnight mischief.

Whether you’re building a Halloween scene on your mantel, curating a vintage-inspired display, or just want a standout piece that leans into the bold and bizarre, this pumpkin won’t sit quietly. Part decoration, part conversation-starter, and all spooky delight. Just be sure to keep the candy close. This one looks like it has a sweet tooth and no self-control.
