Halloween Trick From Aunt Myrtle

I need to get on with my jack-o-lantern carving.  Just one week before Halloween. I've always found digging out the pumpkin's innards to be such a chore. But in a recent convo with my sister she was remembering how our Aunt Myrtle didn't bother with that. She just left all the seeds and goop inside, which makes the pumpkin get pretty darn nasty. Everyone on the internet warns against this. But what says "Halloween" better than the smelly, moldering rind of a rotting pumpkin? I think it's brilliant. And a lot less work. If I get started now my jack-o-lantern should be reasonably disgusting by the time the spooks come calling next Friday night. Aunt Myrtle would probably approve.
