The Kenova Pumpkin House in West Virginia is the flagship home in this category, with over 3,000 pumpkins decorating its exterior.
Every year Ric Griffith and an army of volunteers carves the pumpkins and puts them on display. It is estimated that over 25,000 Jack o' lanterns have appeared at his home since Griffith started showcasing them in 1978.
No one likes a showoff, Ric, so here are a few other homes that celebrate the orange vegetable of joy that is the pumpkin in other equally brilliant ways.
