Halloween is both magical and highly ridiculous. It's the only holiday in which we adorn ourselves with bloody accoutrements, illuminate carved fruits and gorge ourselves sick on glucose-ladden hors d'oeuvres. The pumpkin stands tall as an unlikely hero for this holiday. If you haven't made time to buy one yet, there are jack-o-lanterns aplenty at the Lopez pumpkin patch (pictured) on Third and Fairfax.
