Jack O'Lantern is an American 2004 low budget independent horror film written and directed by Ron McLellen, and starring Dave R. Watkins, Kevin L. Powers and Tracy Yarkoni.

DVD Talk wrote Jack O'Lantern is one of the goofiest, silliest, and most obviously inept "do-it-yourself" horror flicks I've seen in quite some time", offering that one might expect "a no-budget stinker like this populating the 99-cent VHS bin", but that it was "a bit bizarre to see a company like Lions Gate releasing this malformed mass on DVD."

Of plot and cast they wrote, "The acting is hilariously bad, the story is muddled, familiar and boring, the kills are juicy yet infrequent, and the titular beastie?

It was offered that many of the film's flaws actually created unintentional laughs, and that "the plot somehow manages to be fantastically original and alarmingly derivative all at the same time."

The reviewer summarized by writing "All in all, Jack O’Lantern will offer up the most original derivative plot with special effects cheap enough to be called direct-to-video.
