Not sure if I did a thread like this last year...
But there are a handful of films with "signature Jack-O-Lanterns". John Carpenter's Halloween for example, if I recall correctly, uses a specific Jack-O-Lantern in its movie posters. And the film Trick 'R Trea has Jack-O-Lanterns o' plenty, but there is one in particular that bursts into flames.
Now days, with the carvable foam pumpkins available from Michael's, Joanne, and other craft stores, we can carve replicas of these and re-use them each year, as both prop replica and Halloween decoration. I've done a couple myself (pics later).
So what films feature "signature Jack-O-Lanterns"? I'll start the list.
--Halloween (original)
--Trick 'R Treat
--Sleepy Hollow
--Nighmare Before Christmas
