With Halloween less than two weeks away, you may be in the design stage of your planning for a jack-o-lantern, but weekend suggestions from the Boston Globe had the State Fire Marshal's Office on phone with editors at the paper.

Is there an archive of the original article somewhere? a there foot flame shooting out of a pumpkin sounds cool!

Here's the website picture of the Flaming Head, from what I assume to be the writer(s) of the book mentioned in the article (Extreme Pumpkins).

Unfortunately, the 'how to' is not mentioned there.

eta: I just hadn't looked around enough, apparently it involves kerosene soaked TP. Here's the how-to page, and a picture of what actually do appear to be at least 3 ft. high flames: http://www.extremepumpkins.com/kersoaktoilp.html
