Defining Symbol of Halloween

Post by Haunted Horseman » Fri Sep 21, 2007 8:26 am

This might not be a fair question, because everyone has their own favorites, likes, dislikes. But what do you think is the defining symbol of Halloween. :?: To me it is clear. The Jack-o-lantern!

What does everyone think?

Yep. Pumpkins.
With Witches on Broomsticks a close second.
The steeples are white in the wild moonlight,
And the trees have a silver glare;
Past the chimneys high see the vampires fly,
And the harpies of upper air,
That flutter and laugh and stare.

I also say that it would be the Jack O Lantern ...and whenever I see the colors black and orange together I get excited... I remember walking in a store in May and far away my eye immediately went to a black and orange something I was so excited ....could it be....it couldn't be a Halloween something could it....I wove my way through customers focusing on the colors that bring delight to my soul...and finally I stood before the display.............
it was a rubber raft with black graphics and oar supports....Oh welll for a min there I was in heaven
Wild Winds thou shalt blow
carry away my saddened soul
tis the time of Judgement

I so wish that I could get away with displaying my pumpkin/jack-o-lantern collection all year long....to see them everywhere is so comforting, to smell pumpkin candles is so relaxing, and to have pumpkin pie, mmmmmm :D ....well it's almost the most delicious treat on the planet. :twisted:

Yep, those jack-o-lanterns define Halloween... 8)

We don't have orange pumpkins in New Zealand, just fake plastic light up ones.

The colour Orange symbolizes Halloween for me.

If I see the colour orange, I immediately think of orange pumpkins from tv - leading to Halloween.


:D
