Many things were not Jack-o-lanterns. Anything that isn't a pumpkin, turnip, or rutabaga was not used to make jack-o-lanterns. There is not a lot of other material to make one with either.
It is believed that the Jack o' Lantern originated in Ireland. The first Jack o' Lanterns were not pumpkins but beets, turnips and mangelwurzel. They were carved into grotesque faces when Samhain was celebrated. Pumpkins as Jack o' Lanterns were first used in America beginning in 1834.
Halloween was pretty much the same in what you did. They would scare people with their costumes not monsters though and they used pumpkins to make jack-o-lanterns, because they were more readily available then turnips.
