While many intricate designs such as black cats, witches, and haunted houses (just to name a few) are now popular, jack-o-lanterns have traditionally been created using scary, spooky, and creepy faces. This age-old custom of creating a lantern by carving a face (or other design) into a hollowed-out, candle-lit pumpkin has become synonymous with the Halloween season. One of the most treasured traditions among families each October is carving pumpkins into unique jack-o-lanterns to decorate their porch for Halloween.
