I heard it is because of the smell, that's why they are carved and left outside of the house to keep vampires away.
Vampires hate pumpkin more then garlic. They say it is the smell.
To keep away VAMPIRES because they hate pumpkin more than garlic!!!!!!!!!ANSWERI'm not aware that vampires hate pumpkins more than garlic--I think that answer is incorrect.Okay, the first thing that entered my mind after reading the question "What are other uses for pumpkins besides for or decorations," would be pumpkins used as "artillery."There are numerous examples and contests where pumpkins are "launched" and prizes given for the furthest a pumpkin is launched using various means.Check out the attached link, for the World Championship Punkin Chunkin website.
werewolves and vampires are born enemies its in there blood to hate vampires
cause they stink and they are orange
there's a rumour that people use pumpkins as decorations to keep vampires away from houses during Halloween
Orianally it was to scare away the Vampires. This is because people beleived in Vampires back then.
Pretty weird if you ask me. I don't know much because I hate pumpkins.
