jack-a-lantern
A jack-a-lantern is a carved pumpkin, turnip, or other root vegetable lantern which is often made during the Halloween season. The design usually consists of a face or other decorative pattern cut out from the vegetable after its insides have been scooped out. These creations are commonly lit from the inside with a candle or artificial light source to illuminate the carved design. The tradition is believed to originate from Irish folklore.
