Dracula Pumpkin Stencils
Dracula pumpkin stencils draw on the vampire count from Bram Stoker's 1897 novel: a caped figure, slicked hair with a widow's peak, a pale face, and sharp fangs that glow when lit. Some show the full figure at a castle window, others a close-up portrait.

How to carve a dracula pumpkin stencil
The fangs and the widow's peak are the two details that make it Dracula, so cut them precisely with a craft knife. The cape is a large dark area; leave it uncut and scrape the collar edge so it stands out. Cut the face highlights through, and the eyes last.
Dracula belongs in a window, lit from inside as if he were looking out. Pair him with a bat pumpkin or two on the sill.
Questions
Dracula stencil questions
Is Dracula free to use on a pumpkin stencil?+
Yes. The character comes from Bram Stoker's 1897 novel, which is in the public domain. The stencils here are original drawings of that literary vampire, not any film version.
How do I carve the fangs so they do not break?+
Cut the mouth as an opening and leave the two fangs as uncut pumpkin hanging from the top lip, each at least a quarter inch wide at the base. Do not push pieces out past them.
How long do Dracula pumpkin stencils take to carve?+
Check the individual stencil's carving guide for its time estimate. Preparation, pumpkin size, wall thickness and your experience affect the total; difficulty alone does not determine carving time.
