• A Seasons Gone By design, made in America by Christopher James

There’s one in every group, the Halloween decoration that looks like it’s had a long night before the party even started. The Wild-Eyed Pumpkin Bucket brings just that energy, with a face that’s permanently stuck between “surprised” and “about to scream.” At 9.5 inches tall with its handle, this vintage-style bucket from Seasons Gone By is equal parts spooky, strange, and oddly hilarious.

Its bulging eyes veer in slightly different directions, giving the unmistakable impression that this pumpkin has seen things, probably involving too many kids, too much candy, and maybe one black cat too many. Thick green eyebrows arch high above those wide eyes, while a row of painted teeth peeks out from an open mouth that looks ready to yell or laugh, it’s hard to say which. And that’s half the fun.

The orange papier-mâché exterior has a classic Halloween glow, and the aged paintwork adds just enough weirdness to keep things interesting. It’s the kind of piece that makes people stop and say, “What is that?” before deciding they absolutely need it. Whether it’s filled with mini candy bars, tea lights, or just sitting solo on a shelf, this pumpkin has serious display presence.

This is not the polished, polite kind of décor. It’s the chaotic cousin that keeps Halloween interesting. A little wild, a little ridiculous, and completely on brand for the season. Perfect for those who prefer their pumpkins with personality, and maybe a bit of a sugar high.
