It's kinda weird and feels like corporate shoehorned it in here in Williamsburg , the Gameshow host is a much bigger part of tampa's theme with his own show and whatnot.

Group question for anyone familiar with Jack the Pumpkinhead: Does this guy have a backstory? Is he based on a character from Irish folklore?

How Jack O’Lanterns Originated in Irish Myth

"The practice originated from an Irish myth about a man nicknamed “Stingy Jack.” According to the story, Stingy Jack invited the Devil to have a drink with him. True to his name, Stingy Jack didn’t want to pay for his drink, so he convinced the Devil to turn himself into a coin that Jack could use to buy their drinks. Once the Devil did so, Jack decided to keep the money and put it into his pocket next to a silver cross, which prevented the Devil from changing back into his original form.
[...]
Soon after, Jack died. As the legend goes, God would not allow such an unsavory figure into heaven. The Devil, upset by the trick Jack had played on him and keeping his word not to claim his soul, would not allow Jack into hell. He sent Jack off into the dark night with only a burning coal to light his way. Jack put the coal into a carved-out turnip and has been roaming the Earth with ever since. The Irish began to refer to this ghostly figure as “Jack of the Lantern,” and then, simply “Jack O’Lantern.”"

I bet that the Burgermeister's Hideaway in Rhinefield will have fairytale-themed beverages for guests to enjoy.

BGW can't use the Disney versions of these characters.

I am aware. However, as I have observed in photos and YouTube videos of other fairytale-themed attractions done by theme parks (Example: Scary Tales at Halloween Horror Nights) certain characters in Scary Tale Road may be designed so they are recognizable to Disney fans. Additionally, the costumes for Cinderella and Snow White in those images are non-Disney products that are inspired by the ubiquitous Disney versions of these iconic characters, so it should not qualify as copyright infringement.
