I also like haunted houses in front of a moon with a witch flying over it. :D
The dark night beckons. Bear us your soul, it whispers. Expose your wicked delights. Join the rest of us on the wind. The dark night beckons and we answer. Sailing into the shadows.

Well, call me an old 'fuddy duddy,' but again, when I hear or read the word "Halloween," the very first image that pops into my head is the jack o'lantern. And I mean the traditional jack o'lantern with the trangle eyes, traigle nose and a smiling mouth with a few teeth.

IMHO, it wouldn't be Halloween without a jack o'lantern. I have watched horror movies through out the year. During every month of the year, you will see a ghost on my tv screen. You will often encounter vampiers, wearwolvs, witches, demons, and just about everything else, BUT, when it's October and the Hallwoeen season, there MUST BE a jack o'lantern.

I agree. You can see any other creature in a horror movie and not associate it with Halloween, but the moment you see Jack, you think October 31st.

I was thinking 'probably Jack-O-Lantern' and then I read Mike's comment and realized not probably but definitely a Jack-O-Lantern. He's right, they are the one Halloween related icon that you don't see at any other time of year; and it doesn't matter how you decorate your house, they are always appropriate.

They're also my favourite item to work on when it comes to decorating for Halloween. I love spending time carving a Jack O'Lantern! :D

That is exactly what I love most about Halloween decorating. Carving a jack o'lantern, the smell of a freshly cut pumpkin, and the excitement that builds from that smell.

And yes, I do have some fake ones with a light bulb inside of them which sit on top of my speakers, but I'll allways have the 'real McCoy' through out the month of October.

Definitely the Jack-o-lantern. Pumpkins are seasonal whereas the rest of the stuff can pretty much be seen anytime of the year.
