I like the traditional Jack-o-lanterns. Some of the newer ones can be downright disturbing.

Is that a new trend? What is disturbing about what you've seen, if you care to elaborate.

I guess I'm super-sensitive to most of them. Even anything as much as a frown on an otherwise traditional style one already looks sinister. (Triangle eyes turned upside down to look like a frown)
I think the trend probably started in the early 90's. That's when I started seeing artists doing more elaborate and creative ones, and then I guess people started taking off from there.
I just prefer old-fashioned things. It seemed to work fine for decades, I don't know.

My wife insists on carving traditional jack-o-lanterns so your certainly not alone on that.

Here's a traditional pumpkin face about 4:30 into this.

And I think it looks scary enough by itself, and so I don't understand why people like to change it.
