About the angry pumpkin face stencil
Slanted eyebrows over narrow eyes and a snarling mouth with fangs: the angry face is the classic jack-o-lantern with its temper turned up. It is the go-to choice for a pumpkin that should look like it guards the door.
The eyebrows are separate cuts above the eyes, which adds a step but no bridges; the fangs are points of skin that hang into the mouth. It is rated Medium because of the sharp angles and the narrow skin between brow and eye.
Tips for this design
- Keep at least 8 mm of skin between each eyebrow and eye.
- A tall pumpkin makes the face look taller and meaner.
- Pair it with the toothy grin face for a good and bad pumpkin duo.
Carving the angry pumpkin face stencil
The narrow skin between each eyebrow and eye is the weak point. Cut the eyebrows first, then the eyes, sawing gently near the strip. The snarling mouth has fangs that point into it; cut the mouth outline in sections and leave each fang as solid skin.
Cut the eyebrows first, then the eyes under them, then the mouth, sawing each fang edge as a separate straight cut. Full transfer guide.
Common mistakes
- Cutting the eyebrow too close to the eye, which breaks the strip.
- Making the fangs too thin at the base.
- Tilting the eyes the wrong way, which makes the face look sad.

Angry Pumpkin Face stencil questions
How scary is the angry face?
Spooky but not gory, fine for most trick-or-treaters.
Why is it Medium and not Easy?
The eyebrows sit close to the eyes, so the skin between them is narrow and needs careful cutting.
Can kids carve the angry face?
Teens can; younger kids should let an adult do the eyebrows.
Which pumpkin size is best?
Medium or large, for room between the brows and eyes.
How do I make it scarier?
Use a red LED and place the pumpkin low on the steps.
