Arise, Pumpkins, Arise!: Rise of the Jack-o-Lanterns 2014

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.

Like last year, I went to The Rise of the Pumpkins in Old Westbury Gardens, It is an old, spooky park, in the middle of nowhere, and the total darkness is lit only by the thousands of amazingly carved pumpkins they have on display. Last year I showed you a set of pumpkins carved in the likeness of The Avengers. This year, I bring you a set of pumpkins carved in the images of the stars of TV’s #1 comedy, and one of my favorite shows, The Big Bang Theory.

I’m also holding back a special Halloween pumpkin to present on Thursday night. As you’ll see, this is the perfect pumpkin to  post on Halloween. I almost never double up on special features but this week is a very special exception.

So here you are, The Big Bang Theory pumpkins!
