I believe the idea is that, because his reaction to a pumpkin pleading for help was to stab it to death, that either he discovered something about himself and couldn't handle it, or that he was exposed to be a crazy killer type.

I think an easier explanation is that something broke in his mind because he was traumatized by the experience.

If it's a walkie talkie inside the pumpkin the sound will come out anywhere.

I don’t understand why waste such a tasty and valuable product? You can make a plastic pumpkin for Halloween.
