A house and its nighttime neighbors
The Haunted House leaves open gaps between its roof and walls. Pair it on a separate pumpkin with the Crooked Tree or Friendly Ghost to make a small doorstep scene; each needs its own fitted print.

View & print patternA little help choosing
Build the atmosphere with the right shapes.
A solid silhouette or a face to keep?
The spider and bats are solid cut-away silhouettes. The owl is different: its face stays in the shell, attached through the opening between the ear tufts. Inspect that face channel before choosing a width.
For a gentler first fright
Choose the chunky fang face, a one-eyed pal or the monster hiding behind a fence. The fence has seven separate openings; the fewer, larger shapes in the one-eyed face offer another route to a playful expression.

Are these horror designs or child-friendly Halloween patterns?
This collection uses playful spooky imagery: friendly monsters, bats, spiders and imaginary buildings. It does not include gore or realistic injuries. An adult should handle carving, and the illustrated previews do not show test-carved pumpkins.
Pumpkin previews are illustrations. Check the printed pattern against your pumpkin before carving.
