Why was the jack-o-lantern afraid to cross the road?

My roommate's garden has really taken off.

There's one particular pumpkin plant that is starting to worry me.

At first it was just creeping steadily along the fence.

Now it's branched out and is heading towards my room which is on this side of the house.

Pretty sure one day I'm going to wake up and  be wrapped up in its vines.
