To render the glowing silhouettes, we used two techniques: The bright candelabrum and goblet are cut through the pumpkins' walls, while the textured quill and skull are pared gently from the outer shells. Pumpkins of different hues, including white Lumina, a green-gray Jarrahdale, and burnt-orange cheese pumpkins, add tonal variety.

Print the Spitting Cat Template 12 of 74 Morbid Multiples Not one but five apple gourds, which have an unpleasantly mottled hue, lie in wait on this sill. Their shifty glances and tormented frowns were carved to look similar -- yet not quite the same. A bed of dead branches ensures this vengeful band will get no sleep. Print the Shifty Glances and Tormented Frown Templates 13 of 74 Paper Shadows Shadows are emblematic of Halloween: They're dark and fleeting, and always lurking a step behind you.
