'With Jack' by Anca Varsandan takes Jack Skellington -- the Pumpkin King from 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' -- throughout the city. He poses next to a Starbucks cup, plays hide-and-seek behind a tree and even lounges on a wire.

We've seen several shoots that take childhood toys and place them into urban settings, although 'With Jack' by Anca Varsandan is perhaps the most season-appropriate. See more shots from the series above.

Implications - My favorite photo of the bunch involves Jack Skellington hanging of a car mirror. Just think of how epic it would be to be driving down a highway only to turn your head and get a quick glimpse of what's probably the coolest Halloween character in existence.
