The 2020 Great Jack-O-Lantern Blaze

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you enjoy our walk through of both the Hudson Valley as well as the Long Island Great Jack-o-lantern blazes! In both cases, there are over 7,000 carved jack-o-lanterns creating many wonderfully creepy pumpkin sculptures. Along the way we stayed at a couple of castles to make our trips even more magical. The blaze in Long Island is at the Old Bethpage Restoration Village and we stayed the Oheka Castle in Cold Spring Harbor. The Hudson Valley blaze is a short drive from Sleep Hollow and we stayed the Castle Hotel and Spa in Tarrytown. We. hope you will enjoy tagging along as we explore castles and calabazas (that's Spanish for pumpkins! LOL!)

Its time to praise your Gothic King and Gothic Queen!

[drayaagnew]

I just wanted to say thank you for putting your music on Pandora! Your station will be playing tonight for our neighborhood to hear in our "grave" yard! Happy Halloween!

[TheSonOfTheDragon]

This is what I want to do with my yard, jack-o'-lanterns everywhere and an actual Halloween tree. Happy Halloween hopefully next year is better. 🎃

[DawnYarnDoll]

Both places are absolutely a must see, thank you for sharing. Sending endless blessings and well wishes to you both xo

Me: Watches on November first.
Also Me: Still spooky because Dia De Los Muertos, so it's still good.
Also also me: Not Mexican but doesn't care. A good holiday is a good holiday.

That whole elaborate event looks beautiful. Real Halloween enthusiasts, I believe, are flexible and creative, and DO WELL with restrictions and occasional stumbling blocks, because of that very quality of creativity! Nice work. Gorgeous video.

What a great treat you are Voltaire & Myumi. 🖤 your show. Happy Halloween everyone. 🎃

[grotevleermuizen]

Goth Dad and Goth Mom are adorable! 💚🦇

[dianefields]

Oh yeah I love the beautiful castle and garden. 👍😊🤟🏽🖤💜🖤💜📱

[coiler_]

I didn't know there were castles in the US, but it makes sense now that I think about it. What with the Tudor Revival architecture and the Gilded Age/Progressive era need for excess and opulence

[viyhexe]

This is the most romantic Halloween celebration I've ever seen!

[pinktacoofdoom]

This has been my worst Halloween ever, but thankfully you've brought some awesome sites, sights and sounds to help give me a reason to smile and almost forget what a horrible day it has been. Thank you Voltaire!

[dianefields]

Oh so beautiful Halloween night. 👍😊🤟🏽🖤💜🖤💜📱🎃

[CobwebsandCandlesticks]

The cemeteries were awesome! So homey!

[elizabethjarram]

Love the "SCREAM" pumpkin - that's my favourite one!
So detailed!
But then again, all the pumpkins in the video are impressively detailed and beautiful!

[deadpurple]

This was perfect to watch as i was carving my pumpkin 🎃💜

[nickolassceltmorea]

Mob seen ... Jacko Val... Castles are massive and it's beautiful

[sarahferguson]

Some of those displays were amazing. I'm doing good to carve a traditional pumpkin smirk. 🎃
