A classic Halloween tradition took a frighteningly funny turn when a teenager decided to get a little too close and personal with the inside of a pumpkin.

Kristy Ralphs was filming her family preparing to begin carving pumpkins when her daughter Rachel noticed something special about her particular piece of produce.

“Isn’t it so cute! I can like fit my head in it,” Rachel can be heard saying, before immediately confirming her suspicions by attempting to shove her entire head straight into the over-sized squash.

Her mother seems doubtful at first that she’ll fit, but perhaps that very doubt was enough motivation for Rachel to bravely commit all the way.

She’s soon victorious, proudly wearing her pumpkin crown on her head, but that victory soon turns into dismay when she quickly realizes her head is firmly stuck in place.

Her amused siblings look on while her brother attempts to free Rachel from the jack-o’-lantern’s grasp, all while she can be heard yelling in dismay from inside.

Her father also chimes in, jokingly mentioning, “honestly, I think it would be appropriate to call the fire department.”

Thankfully there was no need to call the authorities, and Rachel was eventually able to work her way out her unusual predicament safe and sound.

And as for when asked why she decided to stick her head inside the pumpkin in the first place?

“I just thought it would be funny,” she said.
