Why does everyone wear a pumpkin face on Halloween?

The smiling pumpkin face is called a jack-o-lantern and comes from the tradition where people hollowed out tubers and put a light inside to ward off evil. In America, the pumpkin became the standard for this, and since then the grinning face with triangular eyes has been the most famous image of Halloween. On this hat, that face is knitted in the evil variant: slanted eyes and a pointed mouth, whereas a friendly pumpkin usually has round eyes. That makes the motif more spooky than sweet.

Wearing and combining the pumpkin hat

Wear the hat over a black shirt or a dark hoodie, then the orange stands out even more. With some orange and black face paint in the same triangular shape around the eyes you complete the pumpkin look, optionally with a spooky pair of glasses or a spider necklace. Because it is a real knitted hat, you can also just wear it outside during trick-or-treating or a lantern parade in the dark.
