Origins
A Jack-O'-Lantern is based on the Legend of Jack, a tale about a drunkard named Jack, who tricked Satan multiple times, and was unable to enter Heaven or the Underworld due to his actions. He was given a flame from the underworld to warn others of his mistake. Jack put the flame into a carved turnip and is now said to wander the Earth.
People carved their own turnips and potatoes to scare away Jack's spirit along with other evil spirits.
Later, the pumpkin was discovered as a better and easier alternative for carving.
