Stuff We Want: Jabberin' Jack Talking Pumpkin, Because Your Carving Skills Peaked in Third Grade

Be honest. Your last jack-o'-lantern had two triangle eyes, a mouth that looked like a zipper, and it slumped into a sad orange puddle by October 20th. The squirrels finished the job. You told everyone it was "rustic."

Meet Jabberin' Jack, the talking animated pumpkin from ANIMAT3D. It packs an 8-inch screen, a built-in projector and a speaker, and it sings, talks, tells jokes and shows off images of carvings. The box promises 70 minutes of built-in animations across spooky, traditional and funny faces. Translation: a pumpkin with better comedic timing than you, and zero strands of pumpkin goo under your fingernails.

Put it on the porch and let it work the crowd. Trick-or-treaters walk up expecting a candy bowl and get a pumpkin doing a stand-up set. The parents film it. The teenagers pretend they aren't impressed, then film it too. You sit in the window like a proud stage parent who did absolutely none of the work.

It runs on batteries or plugs in via USB, so it goes wherever the party is: the front steps, the snack table, or the shelf next to the TV during your annual horror movie marathon, where you yell at characters for going into the basement and then go into your own basement alone at midnight.

It's about 8.3 by 9 by 8.3 inches and weighs around a pound, so it fits on a step, a mantel or a crowded entry table without hogging the whole display. And unlike the real thing, it won't rot, grow fuzz or throw a fruit fly party before Halloween night.

One heads-up straight from the listing: Jabberin' Jack is a seasonal decoration, not a toy. It's for your porch, not for your nephew to punt across the yard.

Who it's for: people who love Halloween but hate carving, porch decorators gunning for "the house everyone talks about," party hosts who need an icebreaker that isn't them doing a bit, and anyone whose carving skills are best described as "abstract."

Skip it if you're a purist who needs the guts, the smell and the sticky hands every October, or you want a decoration that stays quiet. Jack has a lot to say.

The verdict: hand-picked for the porch. Let the pumpkin do the talking this year.
