It is associated chiefly with the holiday of Samhain and halloween and was named after the phenomenon of strange light flickering over peat bogs, called ignis fatuus or jack o' lantern.
In a jack o' lantern, typically the top is cut off, and the inside flesh then scooped out; an image, usually a monstrous face, is carved out, and the lid replaced. It is typically seen during Halloween.
