Gal. 
The pumpkin is a victim of a propstrike, where a model airplane took a bite (or six) with the propeller. That's why the red lines and oozing blood. Search the RCGroups forum and you'll find plenty of stunning examples.
The object sticking out is one half of a propeller. (This one happens to be from a folding prop, because I don't have any that I'm willing to break at the moment.)
FWIW, Here's the nose of the plane the prop came from: (photo snagged from Google)
Really scary during launch, where you're holding it inches in front of your face and running it up to half power before throwing it.

Nice! Nice, crisp edges. Something that eluded me a little, using the keyhole saw.

I bought a bunch of pumpkins but didn't carve a single one. First time ever that I've done that.

Well, now it's time to carve them all into bits, put them in the oven, and eventually, after a little more work, turn them into pumpkin pies.
