The German village of Klaistow once again becomes a cinema-themed setting this year, with an exhibition recreating Hollywood icons using more than 100,000 pumpkins.
Under the motto "Pumpkins go to Hollywood," the show pays tribute to iconic characters and films, from Dracula to King Kong, blending the autumn pumpkin tradition with references to American pop culture.
A tradition returning to its roots
According to the event organizers, this year the pumpkins are "returning to their roots" by drawing direct inspiration from American cinema, a genre that has historically influenced the popular iconography used in this type of exhibition.
The giant figures, crafted from hundreds of thousands of pumpkins, have become a regular attraction in Klaistow, drawing visitors interested both in seasonal farming and cinematic references.
