Halloween's A-coming!

I love October.  I love the colder weather, but more importantly, I love Halloween.  This holiday brings an influx of horror movies, scary barns and mazes to visit, copious quantities of candy, an excuse to dress up in costume, and jack-o'-lanterns.  Annoying to spell yet fun to make, jack-o'-lanterns are, in my mind, the best part of the whole Halloween experience.

However, one does not simply grab a knife and begin to lobotomize this orange immobile victim; there are certain steps that must be followed to insure that the finished product is as beautiful in reality as it was in your mind when you came up with the idea.  Instead of typing about that, I'm going to take the lazy route and link you to two other blogs that have covered the related processes in detail.
