Works on the same principle as a spinning paper lamp shade which projects pictures on a stationary outer shade. The heat from the candle inside the pumpkin would spin an aluminum foil cylinder with louvers at it's top. The cylinder would balance on a wire tripod centered above the candle, and three or more sections of the cylinder which are made from colored celophane, would make the eyes and mouth of the jack'o'lantern change color.

Hmmm.

This idea in several shades of pink and green would make the display queasily honest.-- reensure, Oct 13 2002 Will thir be a neep ane fir aw the guisers?-- [ sctld ], Oct 13 2002 Huh? Exsqueezeme eye bagaparsely?-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Oct 14 2002 Perchance, good sir, shall there be made into existence a turnip version for those of us who prefer the delights of guising, as opposed to the evils of begging- i mean 'trick or treating'. No wait, i was correct the first time, begging.-- [ sctld ], Oct 14 2002 Oh sure, turnips, spaghetti squash, various varieties of gourds and or melons, of course the price increases.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Oct 14 2002 Mad Radishes?-- Mr Burns, Oct 14 2002 Pumpkin pie - filled croissant to you.-- FarmerJohn, Oct 14 2002 Yes yes! Build a little bitty radish one for me please!-- madradish, Oct 15 2002 I made one of these on the weekend with my kids. An alternating, flickering, green and purple pumpkin face looks pretty cool. In case anyone wants to make one of these, it took a bit of experimenting to make one that would actualy rotate. We used a pie tin for the pinwheel and cut up see through plastic report covers for the shade. Any thing reflective should be spray painted black first for best effect. Happy hallows eve.-- 2 fries shy of a happy meal, Oct 16 2002 Just brilliant. I wouldn't be surprised to see this one happen. I'll probably do it.-- AllenChristopher, May 12 2003 random, halfbakery
