Ripen Pumpkin

My pumpkins are large and dark green. It is Oct. 5th. Is there still time to ripen on the vine before Halloween? The vine is still growing at the ends, but the center is dying. The temp is 60/40 and the garden is partially shaded. Should I pick them now or is there still time to try on the vine? How long does it take indoors?
