You may want to try and diffuse your flash with a piece of colored cellophane or something of the like. If you use the flash alone you will most likely block out all of the light coming through from within the pumpkin. If you are not able to add light to these Jack O'Lanterns I would try getting closer and also experimenting with different angles that might reveal a little more of the light glowing through.

If you're taking pictures of Jack O'Lanterns that don't have much light coming through, would you still recommend not using a flash?
