Ray Villanfane from ‘Outrageous Pumpkins’ Knows His Way Around a Pumpkin

“My stuff has a Halloween vibe, but I think a lot of my work transcends that,” Ray explained in that same interview. “To be honest, I’m not even really into Halloween. I don’t even watch TV. Ironically, here I am making stuff that finds its way into pop culture.”

Elsewhere, he shared, “There is a magical history behind the pumpkin,” Villafane said. “When I bring a 3-D face to it, it comes to life. It emotes. I like to infuse magic into objects that normally wouldn’t have it.”
