Description
Once upon a time this fellow named Jack managed to trap the Devil in a tree. Jack would not let the Devil down until the Devil swore to never take Jack's soul. After a long life as a rascal, Jack finally breathed his final breath. With hat in hand, Jack stood at Heaven's gate pleading for forgiveness only to be laughed at and sent away, "HA! Jack, you are a cheat, a liar, and a filthy thief. Take your chances with the Devil if you will!" But the Devil only laughed at Jack as well. "You'll find no welcome here Jack. I promised to never take your soul. Hit the road Jack!" So Jack was doomed to roam the earth for all eternity. To light his way Jack carved an evil face into a pumpkin. Folks that saw strange eerie lights at night would say, "There goes Jack O'Lantern". And so we bring you Jack O'Lantern Porter.
