1. Classic jack-o-latern face

• Choose a round pumpkin and cut a lid around the top.
• Scoop out until all the seeds and pulp are cleaned inside.
• Draw triangular eyes, a nose, and a grinning smile with a marker.
• Carved with lines, pop it into a candle, and see it shine with a scary smile.
  

2. Scary ghost face

• Choose a medium-sized pumpkin with a smooth surface.
• Pull two big eyes and an oval-shaped mouth for a screaming ghost.
• Carefully take out the shapes so that the ghost is swimming.
• Keep a light inside to give it a haunted, shiny look.
  

3. Witch with a crooked nose

• Choose a long pumpkin for more facial space.
• Sketch a long, twisted nose, sharp eyes, and a wide smile.
• Add warts or wrinkles with small additional cuts or echs.
• Give it light for an evil witch that is ready to scare.
  

4. Scary vampire with fangs

• Use a large pumpkin so that you have space for expansion.
• Pull a mouth with sharp eyes, pointed eyebrows, and long, pointed.
• To keep the point associated with the outline of the mouth, slowly carve.
• Add red light or paint to a bloodthirsty shine.
  

5. Frankstein’s monster

• Find a square-nice pumpkin to match the size of the monster.
• Sketch square eyes, stitches on the forehead, and a flat mouth.
• Use bolts (such as screws or fake parts) on the sides for expansion.
• For complete monster effects, carve and keep it with green light.
