67 Scary Pumpkin Printables
We curated 67 of the very best scary pumpkin printables so you can pick one and start carving in minutes.
1. Six Spoke Cyclops and Fangs
An ornate one-eyed monster dominated by a giant spoke-wheel eye with six radiating spokes, surrounded by swirling filigree flourishes, teardrop cutouts, and a vast fanged grin ringed with diamond and dot accents. The entire composition is pierced through in an intricate lattice, leaving a delicate web of pumpkin between the glowing shapes. Strictly an expert project: use a fine-detail saw, carve the small accents before the large wheel and mouth, and support the wall from inside as it thins.
See template →2. Spoked Eyes and Diamond Halos
Two enormous hypnotic eyes built as spoked wheels, each iris divided by radial spokes around a glowing hub, ringed by halos of small diamond and teardrop cutouts with arched brow fans above. Every spoke gap, diamond, and teardrop is pierced individually, creating a mesmerizing lace of light. An expert carve with dozens of tiny openings; use a fine detail saw and rotate the pumpkin, not your wrist, on the curves.
See template →3. Hanging Pupils and Eight Bays
An elaborate theatrical face with knowing eyes whose pupils hang from the upper lids, framed by ornate teardrop flourishes across the brow and temples, above a huge grin packed with long individual teeth. Dozens of small cut-through openings build the pattern, with slim rind bridges holding every tooth and swirl in place. Number your openings and remove the smallest flourishes first, saving the big mouth bays for last so the web of bridges keeps its strength.
See template →4. Flame Crown and Hooked Eyes
Hooked, furious eyes glare beneath a crown of flame-shaped cutouts that climb the pumpkin's forehead, while a jagged mouth bristles with rows of interlocking fangs and a diamond nose burns at the center. Nearly a hundred small pierced shapes surround the face, so this is a marathon of careful knife work. Cut from the center outward and rest often; the narrow skin bridges between flames and fangs cannot take rushed strokes.
See template →5. Double Bars and Zigzag Teeth
An elaborate jack-o'-lantern face built from layered geometry: triangle eyes barred with double rind strips, arched claw-like brows, diamond accents down the cheeks, and a wide zigzag mouth of interlocking teeth flanked by curling flame flourishes. The many openings are cut through around a lattice of thin surviving rind. This expert design demands a sharp fine-tooth saw and a plan: cut from the center outward, finishing the outer flourishes last while the wall is still strong.
See template →6. Furious Eyes and Diamond Mask
A ferocious mask of a face with slanted furious eyes, a flared nose, and a jagged mouth full of interlocking fangs, all framed by dense rows of diamond and wedge cutouts that cover the cheeks and brow like scales. Every diamond, wedge, and fang is pierced through, turning the whole front into a lattice of fire. This expert pattern demands order: carve from the center outward so surrounding cuts never weaken your working area.
See template →7. Almond Eyes and Twenty Tears
Two huge almond eyes stare straight out, each ringed by fanned lash bars above and a spray of teardrop cuts below, with attached pupils floating in the centers. The eye whites, brow strokes, and roughly twenty teardrops are all pierced, leaving the pupils and lash ribs as connected shell. This one earns its hard rating on the thin lash bars, so cut every slot outward from the eye and support the wall with your palm.
See template →8. Staring Eyes and Eight Wedges
Two enormous staring eyes dominate this design, each with a pupil tab left attached at the bottom rim, a curved brow arcing above, and short wedge-shaped rays radiating around the outside like a nervous twitch of light. There is no mouth, which makes the gaze even more unsettling. In this medium carve the pupil tabs are the key detail; cut around each pupil carefully so its bridge to the lower eyelid stays at least a half inch wide.
See template →9. Barred Eyes and Serrated Grin
This wicked traditional face stacks barred triangle eyes with heavy slanted brows above a huge serrated grin, then flanks the mouth with rows of small wedge and diamond accents across both cheeks. Everything is cut through, and the eye bars are thin strips of shell left inside each triangle. Cut on both sides of each eye bar before removing the surrounding pieces, and save the tiny cheek diamonds for last.
See template →10. Angular Mask and Eight Slits
This menacing bony mask glares through huge slanted eye sockets, flares a split skeletal nose, and bares a wall of long vertical teeth framed by curved fangs at each corner, with angular temple slashes radiating from the sides. The sockets, nostrils, tooth gaps, and slash marks are all cut through, leaving thin ribs of skin as the teeth. Hard-level advice: carve the eight narrow tooth slits with a fine blade and leave the outer fangs until the very end.
See template →11. Hanging Eyes and Stitch Smile
Two enormous wide eyes with hanging pupils stare beneath crackling zigzag brows, while small skull nostrils sit above a long stitched grin that stretches nearly ear to ear. The eyes are cut through around the drooping pupil tabs, the nostrils are pierced, and the mouth is one thin line crossed by vertical stitch slits. Those dangling pupils and skinny stitches make this a hard carve; keep every stitch cut short and support the pupil tabs while you saw around them.
See template →12. Wrinkled Eyes and Uneven Teeth
A mischievous scowling face with arched eyebrows over round glaring eyes, small wrinkle slits fanning from each eye's outer corner, diamond accents dotting the cheeks, and a sweeping smile packed with uneven square teeth. Every cut pierces through, so light streams from all the details at once. A hard carve where the wrinkle slits are the fussy part; cut those hairline slivers with a detail saw before opening the large eye holes beside them.
See template →13. Leering Eyes and Crooked Nose
Slanted leering eyes with attached round pupils glare above a crooked off-center nose and a jagged sneer packed with pointed fangs, while scattered diamond scars glint across both cheeks. The eyes, nose, mouth, and diamonds are pierced with pupils and fang points left as shell. The hard part is the web of narrow fangs; cut each tooth gap from tip to base and never twist the blade mid-cut.
See template →14. Double Wrinkles and Fang Grin
Deeply wrinkled brows curl over narrowed eyes with rooted pupil tabs, a flared nose snarls in the middle, and a wide fanged grin full of jagged teeth completes this genuinely sinister face, flanked by small diamond cutouts at each temple. Everything is pierced through, and the layered brow wrinkles are why it rates hard. Cut the thin wrinkle slits with a fine-detail saw before the larger eye and mouth openings weaken the surrounding wall.
See template →15. Clenched Eighteen Window Grin
Furrowed slash brows press down on angry eyes with squared pupil tabs, over a flat nose, cheek slits, and a wide clenched mouth divided into a grid of glowing tooth windows. Every window is pierced through, and the lattice of rind strips between them is the hard part. Cut the small mouth openings one at a time, alternating sides, so the grid never carries stress from a half finished row.
See template →16. Unequal Eyes and Six Slashes
A menacing sneer built from two uneven glaring eyes, a small skull-like nose, a crooked mouth of jagged teeth, and three claw-slash marks raking each side of the face. All shapes pierce through, and the mismatched features do the intimidating. A medium carve; cut the six narrow slashes first with single confident strokes, then work the mouth teeth before opening the larger eye shapes.
See template →17. Angry Eyes and Five Mouth Gaps
A grumpy jack-o'-lantern scowls with slanted, brow-slit eyes, a small triangle nose, angled cheek slashes, and a downturned mouth broken into square gaps. Every element is cut through, with the mouth's rind bridges creating the clenched, gritted-teeth effect. The thin brow and cheek slits earn the medium rating: make each slit with two close parallel cuts and pop the sliver out from inside the pumpkin, since pushing from outside can crack the narrow channel wider.
See template →18. Triangle Eyes and Six Diamonds
This elevated take on the traditional face pairs slanted triangle eyes topped with thin brow slits, a triangle nose, and a deep zigzag grin, then adds three small diamond cutouts on each cheek for extra sparkle. Every element is pierced through the wall. The brow slits and little diamonds are what push it to medium; cut the big shapes first, then handle each diamond with a narrow saw, working point to point so they stay crisp.
See template →19. Sloping Eyes and Two Teeth
Two steeply sloping eyes scowl above a crooked grin holding two chunky square teeth, one notched into the top lip and one into the bottom. The eyes and mouth are pierced through, with the blocky teeth left as shell inside the mouth opening. Cut the outline of each tooth before clearing the rest of the mouth, and the asymmetry of the design means small wobbles only add to the attitude.
See template →20. Triangle Eyes and Deep Frown
Two fierce slanted triangle eyes glare above a deep downturned crescent frown, turning the whole pumpkin into one magnificent scowl. All three shapes are clean cut-throughs, with the eyes angled sharply inward to sell the anger. This easy carve lives or dies on those angles: keep the inner eye points low and sharp, and cut the frown in one steady arc so the grump reads clearly from across the street.
See template →21. Bare Tree with Forked Branches
A gnarled bare tree glows from a wide split trunk up through forked, twisting branches, the classic haunted-forest silhouette in reverse. The entire tree shape is cut through as one connected opening, so light traces every crooked limb. It rates easy because the cuts are bold, but the branch tips narrow quickly; cut from each tip back toward the trunk and remove the waste in small pieces so no limb snaps off.
See template →22. Curved Horns and Diamond Chin
A devilish face with two curved horns sprouting from the brow, narrow slanted eyes glaring beneath them, a wide grin studded with square teeth, and a diamond goatee stamped under the chin. Every piece is cut through so the whole sinister face burns bright. A medium carve with lots of payoff; cut the horn tips slowly since their curved points are the thinnest cuts, and finish with the easy diamond chin.
See template →23. Curved Horns and Barred Eyes
Two curved horns rise from the crown while fierce slanted eyes, each split by a solid bar of rind, glare above a jagged toothy grin. The horns, eyes, nose, and mouth are all pierced through, with the eye bars and pointed teeth left as uncut bridges. On this medium carve, do the eye interiors in two halves around each bar so the thin strip never bends.
See template →24. Three Tombstones Under a Moon
A miniature midnight cemetery: three rounded tombstones of different heights glow along the bottom while a crescent moon and a scatter of small round stars shine above them. Every element is a simple cut-through, and the plain shapes make the scene read clearly from across the street. It is an easy carve; drill the little star dots first while the wall is still solid, then saw out the tombstones and moon.
See template →25. Slanted Eyes and Six Slashes
A ferocious face glares out through slanted slit-pupil eyes above a fanged snarl, with three sweeping slash marks flaring from each cheek like whiskers of fury. The eyes, nostrils, toothy mouth, lower jaw slot, and all six cheek slashes are cut through the wall for a blazing, aggressive stare. At medium difficulty, save the long tapered slashes for last and cut them thin at the tips so they flick outward like real claw marks.
See template →26. Barred Eyes and Four Fangs
Slanted, sinister eyes are crossed by narrow uncut bars that read like glaring pupils, while the sneering mouth bares pointed fangs above and below the grin. The face is all pierced openings, and those slim bridges across the eyes are the make-or-break detail. Cut each eye in sections around its bar rather than in one pass, and save the fang notches for last so the thin points do not snap while you work.
See template →27. Scorpion with Curled Tail
A menacing scorpion with pincers spread wide, eight angled legs, a segmented body, and a tail curling up to a poised stinger. The entire creature is shaded work: each segment and claw is shaved to glowing flesh while the skin between stays dark, giving the body its armored look. Carve the segment gaps as narrow untouched skin lines, working from the body outward so the skinny legs keep clean edges.
See template →28. Almond Eyes and Seven Teeth
A wide, low jack-o'-lantern face with sly almond-shaped eyes, a small triangle nose, and a long jagged mouth packed with alternating square teeth top and bottom. Everything is pierced through, and the horizontal layout suits squat, wide pumpkins. At medium difficulty the tooth row is the main work; cut the mouth's outer outline first, then remove the gaps between teeth one at a time so each block keeps support while you work.
See template →29. Slanted Cat Eyes and Whiskers
A low, wide cat face with menacing slanted eyes, a triangle nose, and long horizontal whisker slashes stretching across both cheeks. Each feature is pierced clean through, and the wide layout suits a squat, round pumpkin. Angle your saw to match the eye slant, and cut the long whiskers in two passes from the outside in so the thin slits stay crisp and even.
See template →30. Slanted Eyes and Jagged Grin
A fierce horror face made of three bold shapes: two sharply slanted eyes that hook downward like angry slashes, and a wide zigzag mouth full of jagged points. Everything is cut through, so the whole face blazes with candlelight and reads clearly from the street. It is an easy carve despite the menacing look; use long straight cuts for each zigzag segment and the aggressive angles practically draw themselves.
See template →31. Two Horns and Square Teeth
Two curved horns glow near the stem while slanted, angry eyes and a wide grin with square teeth complete this simple horned demon. Every feature is a pierced opening, and the shapes are big and forgiving, making it an easy carve with a wicked payoff. Cut the mouth as one band and notch the square teeth from the top and bottom edges so each tooth stays anchored to the wall.
See template →32. Sloping Eyes and Unequal Fangs
A classic evil jack-o'-lantern with steeply slanted triangle eyes glaring downward and a wide jagged mouth of uneven fangs, some long and some short for extra menace. All shapes are pierced through for a fiery glow. Rated medium because of the zigzag mouth; cut each fang point with two clean strokes meeting at the tip, and bevel the eye edges outward so more light escapes upward.
See template →33. Slanted Eyes and Zigzag Grin
The timeless sinister pumpkin: two sharply slanted eyes with hooked inner corners, a small angled nose notch, and a long zigzag mouth that saws across the lower face in jagged peaks. All five openings are cut clean through for maximum glow. It is rated easy because every shape is bold and open; the one spot that needs care is the zigzag mouth, where cutting into each point from both sides keeps the teeth from rounding off.
See template →34. Angled Eyes and Seven Fangs
Two sharply slanted triangle eyes glare above a wide jagged mouth lined with seven pointed fangs, giving this face a classic menacing snarl. Every element is cut fully through, and the zigzag mouth does most of the work, so accuracy there pays off. Cut each tooth as two separate straight strokes meeting at the point instead of dragging the saw around the corner, and the grin stays razor sharp.
See template →35. Pointed-Abdomen Relief Spider
A boldly sculpted spider with a plump pointed abdomen, rounded head, and eight thick segmented legs that arch outward like a tarantula ready to strike. It carves as continuous-wall relief: you shave away skin at varying depths so the body and legs stand out dimensionally, with no openings pierced. This hard project rewards layered carving, so rough in the whole shape shallow first, then deepen around the legs to lift them off the background.
See template →36. Slant Brows and Triangle Eyes
Pure menace in four cuts: two big triangle eyes slanted inward in a hard glare, each topped by a thin detached brow slit angled the same way. All four shapes are cut through, and with no mouth at all the silent stare does the work. This is one of the easiest designs to carve and one of the most effective; keep the brow slits narrow and parallel to the eye tops so the angry angle stays sharp.
See template →37. Dark-Backed Crawling Spider
A big crawling spider with a dark rounded abdomen and eight bent legs radiating across the pumpkin's face. The design is peel-carved: pale skin is shaved away around each leg and along the body's edges so the spider reads in silhouette, with no pierced openings at all. The legs are long and thin, so score both edges of each one with a knife tip before shaving between the lines to keep the curves clean.
See template →38. Eight-Legged Peeled Spider
A giant spider sprawled across the whole pumpkin face, its oval abdomen and small head flanked by eight long jointed legs that bend at sharp knees. The design uses skin-shave shading only: the spider shape is peeled to the pale flesh while the wall stays whole, so it looms in daylight without any pierced holes. At medium difficulty, score the leg outlines first and peel each segment separately to keep the joints sharp.
See template →39. Six-Slot Grin and Cheek Slits
Two arched, angry eyes glower above a huge crescent grin broken into a row of glowing tooth slots, with small slits flaring at each cheek. All the features are pierced through the wall, and the strips of rind left between the tooth openings become the dark teeth of the smile. Cut the mouth slots from the center outward and leave the narrow rind bridges at full thickness so the grin holds its shape.
See template →40. Angular Seven-Tooth Grin
A sharp-edged jack-o'-lantern face with slanted triangle eyes, an angular nose, and a wide jagged mouth broken into seven pointed teeth. Every shape is cut straight through the pumpkin wall, making a bright, high-contrast face that reads perfectly from the porch steps. It is a medium pattern because of the many small tooth points, so saw into each corner from both directions instead of twisting the blade to keep the tips sharp.
See template →41. Slanted Eyes and Twin Fangs
A sinister face with narrow slanted eyes, a slim angled nose, and a wide sneering mouth bristling with pointed fangs top and bottom. Eyes, nose, and mouth are pierced clean through, with the fang shapes left as solid teeth jutting into the glowing opening. Even though it rates easy, the fang tips are fragile; cut each tooth from base to point and let the waste fall away instead of pulling it free.
See template →42. Menacing Glowing Eyes
Just two fierce, slanted eyes with curled inner corners, glaring out of an otherwise untouched pumpkin. Both eye shapes are cut fully through, and because there is no nose or mouth, the minimalist glare does all the spooky work after dark. This is a true beginner project: trace carefully, cut each eye in two passes following the hooked curve, and the whole carve is done in under twenty minutes.
See template →43. Wide-Eyed Hairy Monster
A wide-eyed shaggy monster stares out with round googly eyes, a snub nose, and a jagged fanged smirk, all framed by tufts of wild fur around the edges. The face and fur spikes are cut through in many separate openings, which is where the hard rating comes from. Carve the small fur tufts and eye rings before the large mouth, and leave the skin bridges between shapes untouched so the face holds together.
See template →44. Long-Eared Monster Face
A tall, unsettling monster mask stares out of the pumpkin: long upright ears branching like antlers, hollow ringed eyes, a skeletal snout, and a mouthful of pointed fangs, all drawn in thin interlocking cutouts. The entire face is pierced through as a network of narrow slots that leaves delicate pumpkin bridges between every glowing line. This expert design demands a fine-detail saw; carve from the center outward so the fragile bridges keep support as long as possible.
See template →45. Heavy Brows and Stitched Smile
Sharp slanted eyes glare from under heavy brows above a narrow triangle nose and a long menacing grin lined with thin vertical teeth. The eyes, nose, and mouth are cut through, and the row of skinny tooth bridges is what earns the hard rating. Cut the mouth outline first, then remove the gaps between teeth one at a time so the fragile strips never take sideways pressure.
See template →46. Swept Eyes and Melting Grin
A wicked jack-o'-lantern with two swept, flame-like eyes, a small notched nose, and an enormous melting grin whose edges drip and ripple across the lower half of the pumpkin. All features are pierced through, and the wavy mouth throws dramatic, uneven light. This is medium work with one long tricky opening, so carve the mouth in sections from the center out and leave the drippy lower points attached until the very end for support.
See template →47. Notched Brows and Jagged Grin
A characterful jack-o'-lantern with heavy notched brows sitting over sly almond eyes, and a huge open mouth whose top edge is a row of jagged zigzag teeth above a broad curling lower lip. Eyes, brow slits, and the mouth are all pierced through for a bright, expressive glow. At medium difficulty, the key move is cutting each zigzag tooth point cleanly; slice into every corner from both directions instead of turning the blade.
See template →48. Slanted Eyes and Twin Fangs
A wicked jack-o'-lantern with sharply slanted eyes, a small triangle nose, and a curling grin pierced by two long fangs hanging from the upper lip. All the features cut straight through, and the fangs read as solid pumpkin left inside the glowing mouth opening. It is an easy carve overall; just remember the fangs are attached only at the top, so slice along their sides gently and never lever the knife against them.
See template →49. Witch Profile & Clawed Hands
A wicked witch in profile fills a glowing full-moon circle, her pointed hat, hooked nose, jutting chin, and two gnarled clawed hands all left in silhouette against the light. The moon disc is cut through around her, so every detail depends on the pumpkin you leave behind. This expert design demands patience: remove the background in small wedges and never lever your blade against the thin fingers, which are the most fragile part.
See template →50. Drooping Laughing Face
Two drooping, hooked eyes sag toward a small nose and an enormous lopsided open mouth, giving this face a wailing, ghostly howl. Every feature is pierced through, and the curled inner tips of the eyes are what sell the melting expression. This is a harder carve because the eye hooks and the long mouth curve leave narrow bridges of pumpkin, so cut those thin sections last and support the wall with your free hand.
See template →51. Narrow Eyes and Barbed Smile
A sinister jack-o'-lantern face with hooked, narrowed eyes, a small heart-shaped nose, and an enormous crescent smile lined with dozens of needle-thin barbed teeth. The eyes, nose, and grin are cut through, and the tiny spikes along the smile are what push this into hard territory. Carve the long crescent first, then nick each barb outward from the opening with a fine blade so the delicate points do not tear.
See template →52. Three Graves in a Full Moon
A moonlit cemetery scene: a huge glowing full moon fills the background while three headstones stand in silhouette, the tall center marker lettered RIP and flanked by two cross-topped stones rising from tufts of grass. The moon area is cut through and the graves are the pumpkin left in place. This is a hard pattern, so cut the big moon opening in several smaller sections to avoid snapping the thin grass blades along the bottom.
See template →53. Round-Eyed Dripping Grin
A gleefully sinister face with huge round eyes topped by curling, hooked brows, a small skull-style nose, and an enormous crescent grin edged with thin dripping tooth spikes. Every element is cut through, and the narrow drip slits along the mouth are what earn the hard rating. Carve the big eye and mouth openings first, then cut the fragile tooth drips last with a fine saw so they do not snap.
See template →54. Double Zigzag Flame Face
Jagged flame-shaped eyes glare above a huge zigzag grin packed with two rows of interlocking pointed teeth. Every eye, brow flick, and tooth gap is pierced clean through, leaving thin orange spikes of rind that read as fangs when the candle is lit. Those narrow tooth points are fragile, so cut them last, work from the tips inward, and support each spike with your free hand as you finish.
See template →55. Split-Nose Zigzag Frown
A classic angry jack-o'-lantern face with two sharp slanted eyes, a split two-part nose, and a jagged zigzag frown of pointed teeth. All five openings are cut straight through the wall, leaving the rest of the pumpkin untouched for maximum contrast. It is an easy pattern with only a handful of pieces, so take your time on the zigzag mouth and cut each tooth point cleanly before pushing the waste piece out.
See template →56. Snarling Split-Mouth Face
This snarling jack-o'-lantern glares through slanted, angry eyes above a flared triangular nose and a huge split mouth bristling with long fangs and jagged lower teeth. The eyes, nose, and mouth are all cut through, while thin skin bridges hold each fang in place against the glow. Rated hard because of those narrow tooth bridges; carve the fangs last with a fine saw and leave extra width until the final pass.
See template →57. Angry Eyes and Slanted Brows
Two fierce glowing eyes under sharply slanted brows, and nothing else. The eye shapes are cut clean through while the rest of the pumpkin stays untouched, so all the menace comes from those two narrow slits of light. The thin points where each brow meets the eye are the only tricky part; cut toward the wide end of each shape so the tips stay crisp. A fast, dramatic carve when time is short.
See template →58. Heavy-Brow Angry Face
This scowling jack-o'-lantern glares out through heavy slanted brows, a small triangle nose, and a snarling mouth ringed with sharp fangs top and bottom. Every feature is a pierced opening, leaving thick pumpkin wall between the angry eyes and the jagged mouth for strength. At medium difficulty the narrow inner brow points are the fragile spots, so cut the eyes from the center outward and save the thin corners for last.
See template →59. Angry Sawtooth Grin
A fierce take on the traditional jack-o'-lantern, this design pairs sharply slanted triangle eyes with a long sawtooth mouth that zigzags across the lower face. Both eyes and the jagged grin are pierced completely through the wall so the whole snarl blazes with candlelight. The narrow zigzag points make this a medium carve; cut each tooth with short strokes toward the point so the tips stay crisp instead of snapping off.
See template →60. Classic Twin-Fang Grin
A classic jack-o'-lantern face with sharply slanted, angled eyes and a wide sinister grin punctuated by two long fangs hanging from the upper lip. The eyes, mouth, and fang gaps are all cut clean through so candlelight pours out of every opening. The fangs stay attached as pointed flaps of pumpkin wall, so an easy tip is to cut the mouth first and shape each fang last with slow, shallow strokes.
See template →61. Unequal Eyes and Jagged Grin
A nightmare grin stretches ear to ear, packed with dozens of jagged interlocking fangs, beneath two mismatched eyes, one wide and wild and one narrowed and crossed by scar lines, with flame like spikes radiating outward and diamond accents above and below. Nearly all of it is pierced through, leaving a web of thin rind spikes that demands real patience. Work from the center of the mouth outward with a fine saw, supporting each fragile spike as you free it on this expert carve.
See template →62. Bold Eight-Legged Spider
A big bodied spider spreads eight bent legs across the pumpkin face, framed by glowing panels that let the light flood around the silhouette. The spider itself stays as solid rind while the surrounding windows are cut through, so the legs read as crisp dark lines against the glow. Cut the background panels first and save the thin leg bridges for last so they keep their support.
See template →63. Rising Zombies Pumpkin Stencil
Two zombie figures rising from the ground face inward in this hard pumpkin stencil, their ragged arms reaching upward and their tattered lower bodies emerging from earth at the base of a tall oval negative space. The zombies read as solid orange silhouettes flanking a large central open oval, so the lit jack-o-lantern glows through that oval while the outstretched zombie arms and rotting fingers stand out in relief. Carve the finger details at the top of each arm before cutting the large central oval, as the fingers are the most fragile elements and benefit from the extra pumpkin mass still in place.
See template →64. Grim Reaper Pumpkin Stencil
A flowing Grim Reaper figure grips a long scythe at chest height, its hooded skull face glowing with hollow eye sockets as the ragged robe billows outward below. The curved scythe blade arcs dramatically across the top of the composition. Lit from within, the open robe hem, skeletal hands, and skull interior create a layered halo of light around the solid hood shape. Carve the large open robe sections last so the scythe blade, the most slender element, stays braced by the surrounding pumpkin wall while you work.
See template →65. Howling Wolf Moon Pumpkin Stencil
A wolf howling at a large crescent-shaped moon fills this hard pumpkin stencil, with a trio of jagged pine trees to the left and the wolf's body set as a solid orange silhouette inside the open pierced moon arc. The moon itself is the glowing background that frames the wolf and trees, while the animal and pines remain as uncut pumpkin skin. When carving the pine tree segments, cut each zigzag branch notch one at a time using a small detail blade, since the tight repeated angles along the tree edges are easy to over-cut and merge into a single straight line.
See template →66. Snarling Wolf Face Pumpkin Stencil
A wolf face stares straight forward in this hard pumpkin stencil, its large triangular ears open and pierced, its almond-shaped eyes cut through, and its muzzle parted to reveal a fanged open mouth. The fur around the face is rendered as jagged zigzag edges, and the nose bridge and cheek ruff details are a mix of solid and cut sections that read as fur texture when lit. Carve the two thin lightning-bolt-shaped brow marks above the eyes before removing the larger eye cutouts, as they are the most fragile narrow strips in the design.
See template →67. Haunted House Pumpkin Stencil
Two stacked haunted house facades make up this easy pumpkin stencil: an upper story with a steep peaked roofline and a tall arched window topped by a smaller rectangular pane, then a lower story with its own peaked roof, a grid window, and a rounded arch doorway, all sitting on a narrow uneven ground strip. The cut sections are the rooflines, windows, door, and ground strip, while solid pumpkin bridges between them keep the tiers separate. Cut the smallest window panes first so the surrounding structure stays rigid while the larger roofline panels are removed.
