For the third year in a row, I went to the dark and spooky Old Westbury Gardens for the annual Rise of the Jack-o-Lanterns! This is where you walk through a dark country park with spooky music playing, all the while gawking at amazing pumpkins. It is always a lot of fun and this year, they made sure that the carvings were all new. In fact, all three years I’ve been there, they’ve changed it up every year. You can see pics from previous years here (Jack-o-Lantern Avengers) and here (Big Bang Theory pumpkins). Be on the lookout for some Modern Family pumpkins in this assortment.

Thanks to Allan Keyes for allowing me to use some of his pictures.

Interesting. I can’t remember the last time I carved or helped carve a jack o’lantern. The area I’ve lived in for the last 6 years is very ” Bible – Belt ” – ish, so we get more generic , ” harmless ” autumnal displays rather than overt Halloween displays.

That’s a real shame. You probably get mostly religious decorations at Christmas too, I’d imagine.

Eh, a mix of religious & secular decorations. I’ve got a few neighbors in my apartment who’ve kept their Christmas door decor up since last December. I even put a pumpkin – head in my Christmas tree last year, right next to a tiny King Tut mask. Eclectic !

This also reminds me, there’s a company that brews or distributes pumpkin – flavored beer starting about now. 🙂

Maybe it’s Sam Adams, maybe Ben & Jerry have entered the beer – brewing market. 🙂
