Photographer Max Ellis of Teddington, London:

"My kids love Halloween and beg to start decorating the house and carving pumpkins from about October 1. Obviously cut pumpkins only last a couple of days so I carved a small one to keep them quiet. I thought we could have a bit of fun with it making it hover spookily in the back garden."

Ellis waited days to capture the curios creature donning the pumpkin. What an adorable accident.
