 This reminds me of the vegetable shaper I bought one year that was a clear
 plastic form you placed around the vegetable fruit when it is small and it
 grows into it, taking the shape of the mold. Mine was a whimsical twisted
 old man's face, if I recall. Worked like a charm. I used it on an eggplant.
 One could get square, trapezoidal, pyrimidical pumpkins, I bet. Has anyone
 else tried it?

Yes, I use the Elf mold on Baby Bear Pumpkins, unfortunately the Canadian
company that makes these has gone out of business, (I think).  Grow them on a
trellis and when I remove the molds there are little faces hanging there.
 Startle many people with them. Great fun!
