Trying to do projector pumpkins this year

I wasn't able to get everything last year so I put it off to this year. I am trying to put together all the pieces to set up an AtmosFX show for Halloween. Has anyone got a lead on large artificial pumpkins for outdoor? Real pumpkins that are alarge are expensive to purchase each year, figure a bit more and I could possibly find artificial ones.
 
I’m a fan of AtmosFX products. I do a moderate size Halloween display every year. In my area, we have a few different discount stores that sell pumpkins for under $5.00 each (I’m not sure about this year with the inflation) such as ALDI’s, MARC’s and Discount Drug Mart. Walmart also sells them for cheap.
These don’t need to be huge for the AtmosFX projection. I use different sizes for the singing pumpkins. And since they are un-carved, I use them at thanksgiving also.

Looks great chuck. I'm not a huge Halloween decorations fan, and only plan to have the punkins setup mid yard, with some hay bails. I'm just trying to gather some ideas where to look, I'm in a touristy area and farm items get expensive. Might need to drive to find punkins.
 
Some other pumpkin projections are from thesingingpumpkins dot com.

For large pumpkins this year I’m using beach balls that I’ve painted.
 
If you wanted to get really hands on you could make some out of paper maché. Here's a site with everything you need to know how to make them. http://www.stolloween.com/?page_id=67.
You don't have to get that creative if you don't want, you could just make the shapes without the faces.

I made some years ago and I got about 5 years out of them before the weather took it's toll. Hahaha, mine aren't nearly the quality of Stoloween's. http://halloween.maloneylights.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/pumpkins-004.jpg
