Inspired by my favorite haunted house of the year, Nevermore: The Madness of Poe at Halloween Horror Nights 21, I carved an Edgar Allan Poe pumpkin. I’ve been a Poe fan for many years, since first reading “The Raven” in elementary school. (The Simpsons’ “Treehouse of Horror” episode featuring the poem helped too.) I think the likeness turned out very well, though I am sad that tonight was my final visit to the maze and Horror Nights until next year.
