Should've been reverse, for the proper spelling. Either Jack-o´-Lantern, or Jack o'Lantern (without the second space).

Updated by anonymous

I was halfway through reversing and consolidating everything when I realized there's a character from 'The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy' with this name.

Will update.

Update 1: removed previous (jack_o'_lantern → pumpkin) implication. Need suggestions for a new tag suffix to discern a normal Jack-o'-Whatever from the character.
Update 2: queued all disambiguation aliases.

A jack o'lantern can also be made out of a squash. That is why it doesn't imply pumpkin

They were also traditionally made from turnips back before the Americas converted then to the pumpkins. Which, I suppose, supports your point better than mine despite the extreme unlikeliness of seeing turnip jack-o'-lanterns on e621. Such is life.

There's another thread on this I don't have the motivation to find here: forum #263172 ... but there is a pokemon ( gourgeist) that is kind of a squashy jack o lantern.

That said I also wanna say that there were only a few exceptions to jack-o'-lantern -pumpkin but, literally only 1 or 2.
