Most party hosts ask their guests to bring along a bottle but Mark Allen’s request is a little more elaborate.
The 33-year-old comedian is hosting a scary vegetable Halloween party in Brighton.
Guests to Mark’s now legendary get-togethers are asked to bring a terrifying image made just from fruit and vegetables.But these are no simple Jack-o-Lanterns carved from pumpkins.
Instead Mr Allen, of Sussex Square, Brighton, and his guests over the years have created all manner of evil figures including a Dalek made of a gourd, an aubergine, peas, string beans, radishes, sweet potatoes and a marrow and a Gremlin from a cauliflower, potatoes, chestnuts, a butternut squash and a baby gem lettuce.
Mark said the idea has grown into a fiercely fought annual competition which attracts up to 50 entrants.
The vegetable sculptures don’t go to waste after Halloween.
The next morning Mark puts them all into a big soup.
If you have a go at making scary vegetable Halloween figures, we want to see them.
