In America, people began using pumpkins instead because they were easier to find and carve. People would…

That’s how every single Eras Show ended, except for the last one, where I exited through a door, an orange door to be specific. Basically, the reason why I chose to exit that way is because I kind of wanted to give a little subliminal hint…
