Jack 'o Lanterns: Bram Stoker’s Dracula Jack-o-Lantern

This was my first foray ever into portrait lanterns. I used a still from the movie of Vlad on the street with his sunglasses and top hat as the base for this. The red eyes really shone when the pumpkin was lit. The color was created using food coloring. This was the first Jack-o-Lantern I had carved for my friend Michelle for one of her Halloween parties. Done just at the beginning of the party before many of the guests arrived.
