You might think you carve a mean pumpkin, but Jon Neill will kick the orange pulp and seeds out of you any day of the week—particularly in October, when his master carving skills are most in demand.

And this year, Neill has landed an ad deal, starring in the Snickers spot below from BBDO New York, in which he pretends to be a killer before settling in to his artful day job. The connection to the product feels a bit tacked on here, but it's nice to see Snickers give a guy like Neill the extra exposure.

Check out more of Neill's insane creations over at his website.
