desc. @wikipedia:

The term jack-o'-lantern was originally used to describe the visual phenomenon ignis fatuus (lit., "foolish fire") known as a will-o'-the-wisp in English folklore. Used especially in East England, its earliest known use dates to the 1660s. The term "will-o'-the-wisp" uses "wisp" (a bundle of sticks or paper sometimes used as a torch) and the proper name "Will": thus, "Will-of-the-torch." The term jack o'lantern is of the same construction: "Jack of [the] lantern."

I am enjoying Halloween, as an introduction of my work to """"HEN community"""" and used the image of Jack-o'-lantern as a base to process and evolve it to something grotesque, sinister and even shocking in some cases.
