Is it safe to leave a candle unattended in a carved pumpkin?

In: Halloween

[Edit]

Answer

I actually had a pumpkin catch on fire once...go figure. You can buy flashing colored lights to put inside and that removes the chance. They don't cost much and last a long time...like ours has been on for days because I keep forgetting to turn it off.
