Frankenste­in pumpkintob­e a monster hit

- BY STEPHEN HAYWARD

A SUPERMARKE­T expects a mighty clamour for pumpkins shaped like Frankenste­in’s monster.

They have been grown in Frankenste­in face moulds for four months and will be unmasked in good time for Halloween.

They are being formed at a farm in Lincolnshi­re and will be sold for £15 at Morrisons in Barnsley, Gloucester, Dundee, Edinburgh and Stevenston, in North Ayrshire.

Money raised will go to children’s cancer charity CLIC Sargent.

Morrisons will have 20 varieties of pumpkin, including “gnarled spooky” and “white ghosts”, which are popular in America.

“We hope customers don’t lose their heads over them,” joked the store’s Michael Weightman.
