Minnesotan Man Carves Giant Jack-O-Lanterns

DULUTH, Minn. — One man is carving up something spooky for the Halloween season at Pier B.

Michael Rudolph, a giant pumpkin carver, was commissioned to carve two giant pumpkins for display at the resort.

Using improvised tools and 17 years of experience, Rudolph spends several hours perfecting his creations.

“The best part is seeing the faces of people and their kids light up when they see these things. It takes adults right back to their childhood. Because as you grew up, you know, a pumpkin just doesn’t quite seem as big to you as it did when you were a kid. When an adult comes by and they see a giant pumpkin, it brings them right back to that moment.” said Michael Rudolph, Pumpkin Carver.

The Giant Jack-O-Lanterns will be on display at Pier B.

Both pumpkins were from Jerry Gibson, a Giant Pumpkin grower from Stillwater.
