9 intermediate creepy pumpkin faces

Beginner or pro, there's something on this page for you.

Intermediate

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.

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.

Intermediate

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.

Haunted House & Crescent

A small haunted house with a peaked tower and a crescent moon hanging above it, arranged as a simple night scene on a curved ground line. The design is all skin-shave shading with no pierced holes, so the house, moon, and hill appear as pale carved shapes against the dark pumpkin skin. For this medium etch, outline every shape with a shallow V-cut first, then peel the skin inside the lines so the roof peaks and steeple stay sharp.

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.

Intermediate

Teardrop Eyes Stitched Smile

Two droopy teardrop eyes hang over a long curving smile crossed by short stitch marks, giving the face a sweetly sinister rag-doll look. The eyes and the full stitched mouth are pierced through, with each stitch cut as a small notch branching off the main smile line. At medium difficulty, carve the long mouth curve first, then add the stitch notches one at a time so the thin rind between them stays supported.

Intermediate

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.

Intermediate

Scalloped-Wing Bat

A wide-winged bat hangs in the center of a glowing scalloped panel, its scalloped wing edges and small round eyes standing out in dark relief. You shave the skin away around the bat so the shape stays raw pumpkin while the shaved field lights up behind it. Keep your shading depth even across the whole panel so the backlight glows uniformly around those wing scallops.

Intermediate

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.

Print the PDF at 100% scale, tape it to your pumpkin, and poke through the lines with a pin or pencil. Then connect the dots with your knife.

How long do these pumpkin faces take?+

Easy designs take 20–40 minutes. Hard and expert designs can take 2+ hours, but the result is worth it.
