Lil Boo is a pumpkin prop created for a scare zone in 2017’s Halloween Horror Nights. The pumpkin floated around the props department before it was used as one of the many pumpkins at the entrance to a haunted house in 2021. Placed right at the guest level, the pumpkin’s face left an impression on Connor Webber, who snapped a photo and posted it online, and gave it the name Lil Boo. Lil Boo became an overnight sensation, and in the following years, the pumpkin became the face of various aspects of the event, including Cabaana Bay’s Swizzle Lounge Halloween overlay.
