Abrégé
An illuminated display device for a jack-o-lantern container having face holes, the device having a light bearing substrate with a front portion, a rear portion, and a slot proximate the rear portion, a light source arranged on the light bearing substrate. The spikes protrude from the front portion of the light bearing substrate and engage an inner surface of the front of the container to secure the device within the container proximate one of the face holes. A reflector plate is positioned in the slot. The slot is oriented with respect to the light bearing substrate to position the plate at an operational angle with respect to the light bearing substrate, with a portion of the light bearing substrate oriented toward the spike and located above the light source, to direct light from the light source through at least one of the face holes.

Abrégé
A gingerbread structure includes at least first and second gingerbread cookie panels, and a box-like support structure that includes at least first and second side panels that meet at an angle at a corner, wherein: inner surfaces of the first and second gingerbread cookie panels are adhered to flat surfaces of the first and second side panels by first and second amounts of edible icing in orientations that cause side edges of the first and second gingerbread cookie panels to extend adjacent to and parallel to the corner; and to extend adjacent to and parallel to each other to enable the side edges to be adhered to each other by depositing a third amount of edible icing along and therebetween.

Abrégé
An illuminated display device for a hollowed-out pumpkin having face holes, the illuminated display device being installable in an inner volume of the pumpkin that is carved as a jack-o-lantern having the face holes and positioned at a front outer surface of the pumpkin, includes: a light bearing substrate; a light source emitting light substantially omnidirectionally, the light source being arranged on the light-bearing substrate; a spike configured to be releasably engageable with an inner surface of the jack-o-lantern to secure the positioning of the lighting device within the jack-o-lantern proximate one of the face holes; and a reflector to direct light from the light source through at least one face hole to provide the impression to a viewer, if the face hole is an eye cutout, that the eye of the jack-o-lantern is following a passerby.

Abrégé
A novelty display for use with a housing having a light source arranged so that light from the light source emanates through the top, the display including: a support member having: an anchoring end configured to affix to the rear face of the housing; a display end to be illuminated by the light source through the top; and a middle section extending between the anchoring end and the display end. The middle section extends from the anchoring end away from the rear face and back toward the display end above the top. A first portion of the middle section is obscured when viewing the display from the front, and a second portion of the middle section not obscured by the housing or the display end is configured to minimize its visibility in the dark, to provide the illusion of the display end levitating above the open top of the housing.
