Create a detailed Freddy Krueger pumpkin with this advanced multi-layer greyscale stencil, featuring his scarred face, fedora and bladed glove.

Carve the lighter tones progressively deeper, leave darker greys shallower and keep black areas uncarved. This is shaded carving: retain solid flesh beneath every tone and do not cut through.

Your ZIP includes a transparent PNG tonal stencil image and the three-page PumpkinFreak advanced carving guide, with a tools checklist, transfer methods, a greyscale depth key, lino cutter and hand woodcarving chisel guidance, and links to the transfer video and YouTube tutorials.

For experienced, patient carvers. Detailed carves can take 8-12 hours over a couple of days, or longer. The guide explains carving with a battery-powered light inside throughout, plus wrapping the pumpkin in clingfilm between sessions.

Resize or crop the PNG image to suit your pumpkin before printing in greyscale. Digital download only; no physical product or tools included. The thumbnail is an illustrative carving preview; finished results may vary.
