Pumpkins

Not really into the whole American style Halloween thing, but saw these on my Postal delivery today.
Surely the whole point is to carve your own design? The one on the right just had plastic eyes pushed into it, like Mr Potato Head.

When I was a kid we used to have turnip heads not pumpkins.  But pumpkins are easier to carve.

I was discussing the pumpkin thing with friends in New York a couple of weeks ago. I don't ever remember them as a kid -did we have them, or is it another recent Americanism?
