This special kind of pumpkin only grows just before Halloween and lurks in shady corners to frighten people with its scary grimace and its flickering evil light. It is a rare case of really malicious botany. The jack-o’lantern grows only during the time around Halloween, when the suitable horror climate, which it needs for maturation, is prevailing.
