Toronto Pumpkin Parade. Official Closing of Halloween

Wise Wiki says that "A jack-o'-lantern is typically a carved pumpkin. It is associated chiefly with the holiday of Halloween and was named after the phenomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs, called ignis futuus orjack-o'-lantern. In a jack-o'-lantern, typically the top is cut off, and the inside flesh then scooped out; an image, usually a monstrous face, is carved onto the outside surface, and the lid replaced" .

We thought it might be interesting what is the further destiny of all those decorated pumpkins when their holiday is over...

Pragmatic and economical farmers who widely sell pumpkins in October, concluded that carved pumpkins shouldn't be wasted. Traditionally, the next day after Halloween they arranged Pumpkin Parade - owners bring their creations for the last show.

This year the carved images weren't traditional, so many ideas were realized!

Heidi Klum’s Halloween Costume

Her annual Halloween party is undoubtedly the most highly-anticipated of the spooky holiday, with celebrities going all out to try and outdo the host. But there was no chance of anyone upstaging Heidi Klum at her party last night. The 38-year-old model was wheeled in to the event on an autopsy table by two blood-spattered doctors. And when they lifted the sheet, Klum’s outfit could be seen in its entirety, with the intricacies of the costume clear to see. Project Runway host Klum decided to dress up as a dead body for the event, and spent the majority of the day being airbrushed with make-up to ensure her appearance was as realistic as possible. Talking about the outfit, Klum said: ‘It’s kind of like a dead body with the first layer of skin ripped off. It’s basically like me naked.
