This Is Halloween, with Pictures

A small photographic addendum to my post about pumpkin-carving, and Halloween in Germany:

Here's a picture (pre-carving) of the North American-style pumpkin I was able to find in a grocery store here, showing its label that totally cracked me up, because this variety is marketed specifically as a "children's Halloween" pumpkin – unlike Germany's usual Hokkaido pumpkin variety, which is marketed primarily for making soup.


And here are everyone's pumpkins carved that evening, all lined up in the dark – just before we watched "Hocus Pocus," for a true evening of American Halloween nostalgia.


Photos are thanks to my friend Anton!
