So what is the deal with that pumpkin?
Added 2019-11-15 00:41:12 +0000 UTCRegarding my Halloween comic "Out of her Gourd", there's a lot of different explanations for the Pumpkin's behavior, as well as possibilities for a sequel. Let's narrow down the first question so we can better understand the second!
What is up with that Pumpkin?

Attack of the Killer Pumpkins was my favorite too, but looks like Parasite invaders is winning. I think the outcome will be roughly the same, the main difference being that the origin is set instead of being open like you pointed out. Some other origins for killer pumpkins: They are Earth's self defense system, activated to stop humans from destroying the planet. Scientists genetically engineered them as a doomsday weapon, but the experiment got out of the lab. A deep mining operation releases bacteria from millions of years ago, they form a symbiotic relationship with gourds. Our universe is intersecting with an alternate one in which pumpkins are the dominant life form, but they can't survive in our world without a human host.

It might not even be aware of how the communication works, it just controls the thoughts of the host body and the host talks like normal. The ending dialogue presumes that the possessor has either possessed someone before or had an orgasm before. It's intentionally unclear what it's referring to :)

2019-11-15 11:01:53 +0000 UTCi like all of those but pumpkins coming to life and possessing people is the best one because - if the pumpkins are simply coming to life, then that opens up a number of possibilities. Perhaps this is the form taken by nature spirits, intent on creating a new 'generation' of druids via the possession, corruption, and fusion of these pumpkin vessels with human women. Perhaps it's the work of a witch who botched a spell, and accidentally animated the pumpkins with the spirits of the dead, which now seek to claim new bodies - and who likely became their first victim herself. Perhaps it's a form of evolution, in which the pumpkins supernaturally 'leap forward' to a future evolution in which their purpose is very different.
