When I was living in Albany and had a massive apartment, Halloween was always my holiday to celebrate. Along with throwing a big costume party, I made sure there were a few great jack o’ lanterns around for atmosphere. (You can see some examples in these photo galleries from Halloween 2005 and 2006.)
