Jack-o'-Lantern

"A jack-o'-lantern (or jack o'lantern) is a carved pumpkin or turnip lantern,
associated with the holiday of Halloween and named after the phenomenon of
a strange light flickering over peat bogs, called will-o'-the-wisp or
jack-o'-lantern. In a jack-o'-lantern, the top of the pumpkin or turnip
is cut off to form a lid, the inside flesh is scooped out, and an image - usually
a monstrous or comical face - is carved out of the rind to expose the hollow
interior. To create the lantern effect, a light source is placed within
before the lid is closed. The light source is traditionally a flame such as a
candle or tea light. It is common to see jack-o'-lanterns on doorsteps and
otherwise used as decorations prior to and on Halloween."
