Halloween is creeping up. Time to start planning for some spookiness. While these Pumpkin Lights with Remote Control are certainly a neat idea, I can’t help think that they could be better. Sure, having a flameless light inside your jack-o’-lantern is a good thing, especially when it means you don’t have to reach into the increasingly goopy interior to turn it on. (Assuming, of course, it survives Halloween night.) I just can’t help thinking that something is missing.
The option to choose intensity level and decide between a steady glow and a flickering light is a nice touch. However, considering they are battery powered and there is a remote control and all, couldn’t these pumpkin lights at least let out a little scream? I mean, when I walk down the Halloween aisle at Walgreens practically every other item starts screaming at me. Speakers must be exceedingly cheap for manufacturers. I’d like to think that I could expect that from my carved pumpkins too.
