svdl: I haven't a clue on what's happening but I did try Objaction Twoface. The light still bled through. I also noticed that when I put the spotlight inside of the jack-o-lantern that I also get a square shadow directly underneath it. I then moved the same spotlight to the outside of the jack-o-lantern and the square shadow was gone when rendered. I tried again using the ball prop and got the same square when I placed the spot inside of it. I've decided to just increase the ambient settings for the texture to give it the appearance of being lit up. Thanks for everyones suggestions.
