If you actually inscribe your pumpkin with one of these templates, take a mobile picture and send it to NPR. It may wind up on the network’s Facebook page.
Finally, Pandora has cooked up, among other offerings, a “spooky symphonies” channel. You get the Kronos Quartet and conductor Leonard Bernstein renditions of the soundtracks from Psycho, Beetlejuice, Dracula, and Beetlejuice.
And on the “Ghostly Grooves” channel you’ll hear selections from the “Darkwave” genre: Bauhaus, Siouxsie & the Banshees, Salem, LA Vampires and Zola Jesus. Perfect mood music for carving NPR themed pumpkins . . .
