"How do you mend a broken jack-o'-lantern?
With a pumpkin patch!"

Today's site offers timely instructions for creating a
spectacular Halloween jack-o'-lantern. Readers will find much
more than directions with this informative presentation on how to
produce a glowing pumpkin to delight Halloween visitors.

"Nothing signifies Halloween like a glowing [jack-o'-lantern] ...
Whether it's simply carving a pumpkin to sit on the door step for
Halloween night
or holding a pumpkin carving party with you're friends and
family, this age old tradition is a main event for young and old
alike. Pumpkin Carving 101 was first published in September of
1996 as part of the Halloween Online Magazine with the mission of
providing quality information and
entertainment to everyone interested in this wonderful tradition
for celebrating Halloween." - from the website

The site features a brief history of the role of pumpkins in the
Celtic tradition of "Samhain", as well as articles on how to
choose the the right
pumpkin and the tools required to make the job easy. Both the
traditional carving method and the modern use of stencils are
explained and accompanied by photos of each step. Various ways to
illuminate a jack-o'-lantern are discussed along with appropriate
safety recommendations. There's even information on how to extend
the life-span of a carved pumpkin and photographic tips for
getting some great shots of the masterpiece.
