Pumpkins are also a symbol of Halloween46; The pumpkin is an orange-colored squash, and orange has become the other traditional Halloween color46; Carving pumpkins into jack- o'-lanterns is a Halloween custom also dating back to Ireland46; A legend grew up about a man named Jack who was so stingy that he was not allowed into heaven when he died, because he was a miser46; He couldn't enter hell either because he had played jokes on the devil46; As a result, Jack had to walk on the earth with his lantern until Judgement Day46; So Jack and his lantern became the symbol of a lost or damned soul46; To scare these souls away on Halloween, the Irish people carved scary faces out of turnips, beets or potatoes representing "Jack of the Lantern," or Jack-o-lantern46; When the Irish brought their customs to the United States, they carved faces on pumpkins because in the autumn they were more plentiful than turnips46; Today jack-o-lanterns in the windows of a house on Halloween night let costumed children know that there are goodies waiting if they knock and say "Trick or Treat!"

南瓜也是万圣节的标志性象征。南瓜是橘黄色的，所以橘黄色也成了传统的万圣节颜色。用南瓜雕制南瓜灯也是一个万圣节传统，其历史也可追溯到爱尔兰。传说有一个名叫杰克的人非常吝啬，因而死后不能进入天堂，而且因为他取笑魔鬼也不能进入地狱，所以，他只能提着灯笼四处游荡，直到审判日那天。于是，杰克和南瓜灯便成了被诅咒的游魂的象征。人们为了在万圣节前夜吓走这些游魂，便用芜菁、甜菜或马铃薯雕刻成可怕的面孔来代表提着灯笼的杰克，这就是南瓜灯（Jack-o'-lantern）的由来。爱尔兰人迁到美国后，便开始用南瓜来进行雕刻，因为在美国秋天的时候南瓜比芜菁更充足。现在，如果在万圣节的晚上人们在窗户上挂上南瓜灯就表明那些穿着万圣节服装的人可以来敲门捣鬼要糖果。
