What do get when you pair -- or would it be pare -- artists with 5,000 pumpkins? You'd get the annual Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular in Louisville, Kentucky.

The gourds line a quarter-mile walking trail and are lit from dusk till 11 p.m. or midnight, depending on the day.

While organizers have illuminated the 5,000 pumpkins, they say that 100 of them are carved into full works of art.
