With Halloween just a couple of days away, it’s nice to know that geeks are feeling festive too. The guys over at Nova Lasers put together this awesome Jack-O-Lantern, illuminated by colored lasers. Candles? We don’t need no stinking candles!

With Halloween just days away, it’s only appropriate that we share in the holiday festivities. So without further adieu, I present the Mario Jack-O-Lantern. The cool thing about this pumpkin is that you can grab the pattern from Seed of the Zombie Pumpkins!
