Someone already said this reads fast, and it really does! I guess that's because it's dialog heavy, which was fine in this case because the dialog was of a pretty good quality throughout. There were nice ideas in this one (pumpkin bong, pumpkin anatomy, pumpkin's believing that being carved or put in a pie is their destiny etc), and some funny lines ('that's acid, dick' and 'he talks like your dad' were my favourites). Good use of the the subject and funny at times. Cleanly written too.
I agree with those who said some parts fell flat, and it doesn't help that I'm not a huge fan of stoner comedy (but yours didn't seem too recycled which is good). I also felt that Baxter saying 'Well, you're stroking my penis' kinda killed the joke... I knew that's where it was going before he said that line, so when he actually spelled it out for us I was like 'Yeah, we got it...' and it ruined it a little.
Overall, a pretty good script that was faithful to the challenge objective and provided some giggles

haha i liked this one a lot. Pretty quick for me to read. i liked a few of the lines these kids had. The "he talks like your dad" line made me chuckle. i also thought the ending was great. Great job. Enjoyed this one a lot.

First script I read out of the bunch. Way to set the bar!
It was good. There's not much I can say that hasn't already been said except that if shot right, Baxter's final lines could be one of the funniest things ever.
Good job. I had fun reading it.
Please, read Elvis The Goat or Cold Turkey. Thanks in advance and I'll make sure to review your script in exchange.
