Let the gourd times roll! Dare to walk an eerily enchanting path aglow with artist-carved pumpkins for Night of 1,000 Jack-o'-Lanterns on Oct. 7-11, 14-18, and 21-25. Among them, 75 giants tip the scales at 150 pounds each. Watch live carving in action, meet costumed characters, and enjoy playful frights around every corner.
