Cool Video Game Pumpkins & Jack-O-Lanterns

Halloween is almost here. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, costume parties, visiting haunted attractions, carving jack-o'-lanterns, reading scary stories, and watching horror movies. Here are some of the best video game pumpkins that I've seen:

Mortal Kombat: Finish Him!



Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain.

Shadow of the Colossus




Mario vs. Bowser



Lanterns were first carved from a turnip or rutabaga. Believing that the head was the most powerful part of the body containing the spirit and the knowledge, the Celts used the "head" of the vegetable to frighten off any superstitions.

BoBomb




Mega Man



The name jack-o'-lantern can be traced back to the Irish legend of Stingy Jack, a greedy, gambling, hard-drinking old farmer. He tricked the devil into climbing a tree and trapped him by carving a cross into the tree trunk. In revenge, the devil placed a curse on Jack, condemning him to forever wander the earth at night with the only light he had: a candle inside of a hollowed turnip.
