These stunning photos show a championship-winning pumpkin carver’s spookily real jack-o’-lanterns – which sell for as much as £500.
Simon McMinnis, 40, has spent over a decade chiselling his incredible Halloween lanterns, which feature famous faces such as Boris Johnson and Piers Mogan.
The self-employed tiler began carving pumpkins in 2009 as an outlet for his creativity – after growing a squash weighing 158kg in his back garden.

He now sells around 75 of the extremely lifelike sculptures each spooky season,
