Contest: ENTER TV & Media Avatar Contest: Pumpkin Season

So, to do something different for this year's Halloween, this contest is not about horror, the supernatural, or fancy dress. This is all about the pumpkins. Pumpkins in (dramatized) TV, Movies, Comics, Video Games, Book illustrations, etc.. Whether as food or made up as a Jack O'Lantern.

Three entries per user, also as usual entries may not exceed 200x200 pixels and/or 1 Mb data, and needs to be safe for work, obvously.
 
You didn't say whether sci-fi and fantasy are permitted. Also, since there's no official rule on file size and it's sometimes very difficult to get an animated GIF down to 1 Mb, perhaps the limit could be increased to 2 Mb as in the previous contest.
 
No. 1.

Thanks for the reminder, I actually did simply forget about this. I'd say overt SF/F is not allowed, but those where it can be interpreted either way (to give an easy yet non-Halloween relevant example, Miracle on 34th Street) are, for the purposes of this contest, not SF/F.

Also, since there's no official rule on file size and it's sometimes very difficult to get an animated GIF down to 1 Mb, perhaps the limit could be increased to 2 Mb as in the previous contest.

I didn't even realize you increased the file size limit in the previous contest, because the 1 Mb limit is just part of it for me at this point. And I've said when this came up in an earlier contest, I'd be sticking to the rules as we've used them since the last major forum update.
There's also that these animated gifs can tempt you to put up a whole scene or something, I've had this certainly a couple of times, and doubling the file size limit would make this only worse. These are still supposed to be usable as avatars, after all.
