What would Halloween be without the unforgetable pumpkin??
I know no haunt would ever be complete without one.
The glow, the image, the smell, mmmmmm.....
The pumpkin or jack-o-lantern is the ultimate "must have" for every home, yard, garage, porch, table or in the window around Halloween season! For "real" pumpkins you can either grow or buy orange,white, "bluemoon" which are a blueish color, they all are awsome!
Even though only the real pumpkins give off the most wonderful aroma when a candle is burning inside. If you want to keep carved ones around year after year the way to go is with the "carved" foam light up ones, in which I own many, they are great! I have seen these in orange, white, black, and flourscent colors. Another advantage to the "light up" pumpkins is that you can put regular or blinking colored bulbs into them just by replacing the light it comes with, with a c-7 replacement x-mas light(another favorite of mine). Now around my home in stores they start setting up x-mas items the same time as Halloween so they are no problem to get. If you are having problems finding the x-mas c-7 replacement lights try a christmas specality shop in you town/city or try the internet!
Also, lately the stores have been coming out with a strobing pumpkin light, color changing pumpkin lights, led color changing lights, and led flame lights (these look like little tealight candles with a flame and they flicker just like a candle). Don't forget to try these in other objects like, something you have fog coming out of, on the bottom of lab jars, in skulls, etc.
And as far as "foam" pumpkins go..... Get the carveable foam pumpkins! You can get these at craft stores like Hobby Lobby or Michaels. If you want to carve the fancy, or very detailed messages or pictures into your pumpkins and want to keep them this is the way to go! Then just add the type of lighting for a finishing touch.
