11 Scary Pumpkin Carving Patterns

In this post I’m offering some fun Scary Pumpkin Carving Patterns … although not too scary! October is already here and Halloween will be here before we know it so I thought these might be useful to you guys for your Pumpkins. These Scary Pumpkin Stencils Free Printable pictures can be downloaded below to use as a template for carving your Halloween Jack-O-Lantern. Most of these are fairly simple so hopefully, they will be easy to use.

I tried to keep these fairly simple as carving these guys can be hard work! I remember my Dad carving ours on the Front porch… my sister and I had the job of scooping out the Pumpkin Seeds and pulp from the inside afterwards with a large metal serving spoon so that we wouldn’t get injured. It was usually pretty cold by then so our hands would get quite chilly from the wet goo inside and we were happy to take turns to get a break. So fun! I’m offering these Pumpkin Designs for non commercial use.

This pumpkin face has such a funny mouth! Kids might really enjoy this one, he’s not quite as spooky as some of the others. His mouth looks a bit like a sideways crescent moon.

This guy looks pretty grouch to me with that large frowny mouth! He looks like maybe he just woke up and is quite the cranky fellow. Or maybe he’s hungry. Perhaps a few candy corns would help!

This guy has large features and an interesting zig zag mouth! Some tea light candles inside would really make a nice glow for your neighbors and friends to see in your neighborhood.

This last guy is smiling, but not in a good way! I can’t help but think of creepy clowns when I look at him!

Eye Pumpkin Carving Pattern

I also created this Eye Pumpkin Carving pattern. I think a big eye carved out in the center of a pumpkin could look really cool! You can decide how you want to carve this one. Some areas you may want to remove all together to the light shine through, some you may want to leave and other areas you may want to partially carve (not all the way through) to add some depth. This would look great mixed in with your outdoor Halloween Decorations!

How to use the Pumpkin Carving Stencils:

To use these printables, just print them out on your home printer. You can adjust the size down if you need to. Tape them to your pumpkin and then use an Awl (this tool should be used by adults only as it’s sharp!) to poke holes through the template onto your pumpkin. You can then take the pattern off and use those holes as a guideline for cutting. Then just carve like you normally would.
