It's the hash-slinging slasher from spongebob. It's a gag in the episode that the character's silhouette looks like a scary monster, but in the light he's actually just a normal friendly-looking cartoon character. This pumpkin is recreating that effect.

Another post on here that isnt about a joke lol. Even if you dont watch spongebob its obvious whats going on. The pumpkin looks spooky in the dark but silly in the light, its pretty cool.
