EDITORS NOTE: Halloween has come and gone, but we wanted to wish a big CONGRATULATIONS to the winner of our Rob O'Lantern Pumpkin Carving Contest, Christie (a.k.a. finalist #1). As we promised, the winner would get the chance to write a blog about their love of Rob. Below, read on to find out just what kind of fan Christie — who noted that her carving comes with the tagline,"'New Moon': When forever is no longer an option, how do you survive?" — is of the heartthrob and the franchise that made him a star.
My name is Christie, I'm from Maryland, and I have an addiction. It started out small and harmless, as addictions often do, but it grew and grew and grew. First it was just some books I read. Then it was a movie I watched ... several times. Then it was the scrapbook I created. Next, a birthday cake. Then I joined the staff of Novel Novice Twilight, reporting news and writing up special features about the "Twilight" universe and fandom. Now, it's pumpkin carvings.

It’s DEADLINE DAY for the Rob O’Lantern Contest at MTV! Halloween is next weekend and "New Moon" is under a month away (as if you needed to be reminded). We need to celebrate! We know you have lonesome little pumpkins just lying around waiting to be whittled. Don’t deprive them of the love they deserve! So here’s what you do. Whittle Robert Pattinson’s face into it! It’s the last day — so you need to do the deed! Carve it.
The low-down: Get that lonesome little pumpkin and sever Robert Pattinson into it! Make him have that daring, cold blooded look in his eyes that Edward possesses or carve that endearing smile Rob always has at award shows! Put some hair on his head, or dabble some scruff on his face! It doesn’t matter! Make him in your imagination. When you are finished send a picture of your pumpkin to http://your.mtv.com with the label “Rob O’Lantern Contest.” The DEADLINE for the photo is TONIGHT October 23. Next week, we'll reveal the top three, with the grand-prize winner announced October 30.
The prize: Do you think this was all for nothing?! The winner will get their very own Hollywood Crush post to blog about Rob himself and they will also receive a brand new copy of Scene It? Twilight. Do you have what it takes to win? Just how far does your love for Robert Pattinson root? We shall see.

So what's the measure of a true Robert Pattinson fan? It's not the number of times you've seen "Twilight," or the number of posters you have gracing your wall. Psshh, that's purely amateur level. No, a real Rob fan would prove their worth by entering our "Rob O' Lantern Contest."
We're challenging you to pull out your artistic skills and carve out Rob's beautiful face onto a pumpkin for Halloween this year. When you're done, send a picture to http://your.mtv.com with the label "Rob O' Lantern Contest." Entries from Rob devotees have already been rolling in, but for those a little late to the game, don't fear, you've still got a a few days left (the deadline is Friday, Oct. 23th!) to carve out the "New Moon" hottie.
We'll be looking closely at all the submissions and share our top three picks the following week. The grand prize winner (aka, the person who will have bragging rights to being the biggest Rob fan ever), will not only get a new copy of Scene It? Twilight, but will also get to write a Hollywood Crush post all about Rob. That's right, your very own post…you can use it to convince everyone why they should love Rob, or perhaps, to convince Rob why he should love you. Now if that's not motivation to start carving...

Have you bought a pumpkin this year? Don’t know what to do with it? We at MTV personally had a serious pumpkin problem this year and we were under much distress. So you know what we did? We carved Robert Pattinson’s face into it and all our problems just whittled away ... just like that. October 31st is Halloween and November 20th the "Twilight" sequel "New Moon" hits the theaters. What better way to celebrate than to combine the two?! Now we want YOU to get on slicing and dicing! This is where the Rob O’Lantern Contest starts.
The deal: Find a pumpkin; any pumpkin — gigantic, petite or just plain odd sized and sliver Robert Pattinson’s face into it. It could look like the zealous Edward Cullen, the daring Cedric Diggory or R-Patz himself. If you carved your pumpkin and it still looks plain to you, make it have a little scruff just like Rob. Throw on a wig that emulates his hair! Make him have that signature daring little smirk. It doesn’t matter! Make it the best it can possibly be! When you are finished send a picture of your pumpkin to http://your.mtv.com with the label “Rob O’Lantern Contest.” The DEADLINE for the photo is THIS FRIDAY October 23. The following week, we'll reveal the top 3, with the grand-prize winner announced October 30.
The prize: Did you just go through all this for nothing? No, absolutely not! The winner will not only get their own personalized Hollywood Crush post to blog about RPattz themselves, but they will also be receiving a brand spanking new copy of Scene It? Twilight . Test your expertise and show off your love for the franchise all in one swoop. It just doesn't get any better.

Each year, millions of people go out and purchase pumpkins in light of the leaves falling and the seasons changing. Not to mention the scariest holiday of the year, Halloween. On November 20th, the "Twilight" sequel is set to hit theaters. So what better way to celebrate both "New Moon" and Halloween at the same exact time than to carve a Robert Pattinson pumpkin? Great idea! And this is where the Rob O’Lantern Contest starts.
The scoop: We want you to take one of those pumpkins you purchased and whittle Robert Pattinson’s face into it. Make it resemble the beloved blood-sucking Edward Cullen, the courageous Cedric Diggory or Robert Pattinson himself. Plop a wig on it to emulate Pattinson’s hair or put a little scuff around his mouth! It doesn’t matter; we just want to see Rob’s face on a jack-o-latern! When you are finished send a picture of your pumpkin to http://your.mtv.com with the label “Rob O’Lantern Contest.” The DEADLINE for the photo is October 23. The following week, we'll reveal the top 3, with the grand-prize winner announced October 30.
So what’s the prize for all your hard work? Did you just go through all this for nothing? No, absolutely not! The winner will get their personalized Hollywood Crush post to blog about RPattz themselves. Yes, that’s right you can say whatever you’d like about the "Twilight" star (keep it G-rated, folks). Love or hate him, it’ll all be out there! So get on carving those pumpkins, times a wasting!
Halloween seems like an apt time to celebrate our love for all things Robert Pattinson, doesn't it? (You know, besides the other 364 days a year we do it!) After all, the Brit actor plays one of our favorite bloodsucking vamps Edward Cullen in "Twilight," not to mention his contribution to that other fantastical franchise "Harry Potter." To top it off, October 31 is almost three weeks to the day before the November 20 premiere of "New Moon." So in honor of one of our favorite actors Hollywood Crush is launching the Rob O'Lantern Contest.
Here's the deal: We want you to bare your creative fangs and carve Rob's likeness into one of those round, orange gourds. It can be Rob as Edward Cullen, Rob as Cedric Diggory, or Rob simply as his lovely self (perhaps executing his signature hair tousle or on the cover of yet another tabloid magazine). Take a pic of your perfect pumpkin and upload it to http://your.mtv.com with the label "Rob O'Lantern Contest." The DEADLINE for the photo is October 23. The following week, we'll reveal the top 3, with the grand-prize winner announced October 30.
So what does the top Rob O'Lantern carver get, you may be asking? Why, their very own Hollywood Crush post to gush about their love for the talented hunk! That's right! You'll get to write your very own blog post about why RPattz dazzles your world (your name will be known amongst the Twi-Hards all over the world!). So get carving, Crushers. We can hardly wait to see what you come up with. Good luck!
