Jack-o-Lanterns: Ten Years of a Halloween Tradition

Highland Park is the perfect Halloween neighborhood, and I live in the perfect Halloween house – no decorations needed. Each year, I carve multiple Jack-o-Lanterns to greet the trick-or-treaters. In this video, I share my favorite designs from the last decade. They’re spooky. They’re scary. They’re pumpkins that aren’t pumpkins. Press play and get the Halloween spirit. Remember, Trick or Treat is from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM on Halloween, October 31st!
