The rural Irish started telling a folktale in the 1500s about a man named Stingy Jack who tricked the devil and was forced to walk the earth for eternity, carrying only an ember in a turnip. Any unknown person carrying a lantern was referred to as “jack o’ the lantern” in reference to the story. This name was also given to phosphorescent swamp gas.
‘You can imagine why an otherworldly flaming glow coming from deep within a marsh would make people think of Stingy Jack carrying his glowing turnip, walking in an endless silence. Though there is no clear connection, you can also imagine why the sight of glowing pumpkins in America might have reminded Irish immigrants of their native folklore.
The first mention of a jack-o’-lantern in America comes with the publication of Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Twice Told Tales, published in 1837. In the 1840s, the Irish Potato Famine brought waves of Irish immigrants to America who brought their beliefs and practices with them.
By the mid-1800s, there was a tradition of American children carving faces into pumpkins, lighting them, and using them for pranks. These pranks sometimes involved hiding in the woods or on the side of the road in an attempt to scare passersby into believing they had seen Stingy Jack. These pumpkin lanterns would soon share his name–jack-o’-lanterns.

Happy Happy Happy!😉
To be honest, ive never see anything like this before. A mask that will open its mouth and move when you open your mouth is pretty neat! I bought this mask of course for Holloween and plus to scare my kids every now and then! 😜 And plus the mask fits my head very well. I didn't have to use the little foam blocks it came with. I'm happy with it!!!

Fantastic Mask
The quality for the price is fabulous. It's not cheaply made and honestly looks incredible.I think the manufacturer has made improvements since some of these reviews were posted because the paint colors on everything are exceptional.The only adjustment we see is needed is some black nylon over the eye holesIt now comes with a black piece to cover your mouth, though nylon will work for this as well.The mouth mechanism is a bit tight, so we will try propping it open with a book for a few days to loosen it up, as another reviewer suggested.Totally pleased with this purchase. We will get more.

Fits great, they included extra foam pads for added comfort and function ability. Jaw was a little stiff right out of packaging, some others recommended putting a cd case or similar item in the mouth over night to loosen the rubber (worked like a charm). The company also included a mouth cover that didn't work for me, my solution was to buy a spandex mask to wear underneath. I cut eye holes in the spandex for better visibility. Eye black could also help. Overall awesome mask, highly recommended!!

Great mask!
Mask is a very nice quality, although some slight tears may occur from the movement however they aren’t noticeable so I still gave this product 5 stars. I have a small head, so using the foam to make it fit worked well for me. And very quick shipping!

This is a very cool mask. The jaw motion makes it really come alive. Scared the crap out of a ton of people at our annual haunted trail this year. Got a lot of compliments on it.
As others have noted, there is a price to be paid for looking so cool. Due to how the jaw motion functions, the top of the mask does tend to dig into the top of your head a bit. You need to really cinch it tight in order for it to work correctly. Totally worth the discomfort for me though. Sometimes we have to suffer for our art. 😁

Great value, excellent detail. the ani-motion produces a vicious smile that is just scary enough to horrify the kids but not enough to override their desire for free candy. One complaint is that it needs to be really tight to work properly and I needed to use the included spacers to get a secure fit. It can get uncomfortable.

The detail in workmanship and movable jaw with curling lips and squinting of the eyes when opening the mouth makes it snarl. This mask is worth the money very scary.
