These Roger Williams Park Zoo's annual Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular is officially open for the season. The event features 5,000 jack-o’-lanterns carved with pop-culture figures by the Passion for Pumpkins Inc. multimedia production company. You can see many, many more images over at Flickr or visit the display in person from October 3rd to November 3rd.
"The crew from Passion for Pumpkins, led by John Reckner, consists of full-time artists and many part-timers who use ballpoint pens, oil-based markers and paring knives to create spectacular pumpkin art. Instead of cutting through the pumpkin, the crew shaves it with a paring knife, which allows them to remove some of the skin. Then, the bottom is cut out and the inside is cleaned, leaving the skin about a quarter of an inch thick. This allows the light bulb to illuminate the image on the outside."
