Pumpkin Tetris Is So Clever It's Scary [VIDEO]

Can your Jack O'Lantern do this?

A man named Nathan Pryor rigged up a large pumpkin with 128 LEDs for the display so you can play Tetris on it. Using the stem as a controller, you can actually play a game, as demonstrated in the video. On his blog, Pryor recounts that he wrote "Make Tetris pumpkins" in a notepad sometime last year. The original idea was to make a giant game using the pumpkins as Tetris pieces.

"Since Halloween was only a few weeks away and it was too late to start growing pumpkins, I thought 'Why not make a pumpkin you can play Tetris on instead?'" And just like that, Pumpkin Tetris was born.

Pryor has some other crazy ideas as well. On his blog you can buy a "mustachioed fleece" that you wear over your face.
