Jack Skellington Halloween Pumpkin Carving Patterns on the Web

Jennifer Claerr
Jack Skellington is the pumpkin king of Halloween Town in Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Jack Skellington's strangely skeletal smile can make a very spooky or ironically funny pumpkin carving. A Jack Skellington pumpkin is also very simple to carve. There are several websites online that sell Jack Skellington Halloween pumpkin carving patterns or that will allow you to print them for free.

ZombiePumpkins.com

The ZombiePumpkins.com website has a page full of Tim Burton pumpkin carving patterns from movies like "The Nightmare Before Christmas," "Sweeney Todd" and "Alice in Wonderland." There is a happy Jack Skellington pumpkin carving pattern and a sinister Jack Skellington pattern. You must become a member of the Zombie Pumpkins website to download and print their pumpkin carving patterns. There are several subscription levels to match your budget.

DLTK-Holidays.com

DLTK Holidays is a crafting website with lots of free projects and patterns you can download and print. They have an excellent free Jack Skellington pumpkin carving pattern with basic instructions.

Picasa Web Albums

You can find plenty of pictures of Jack Skellington Halloween pumpkin carvings on the Picasa Web Albums website. If you're sufficiently skilled at pumpkin carving, you can print them out and use them as a guide for carving your own Jack Skellington pumpkin. Keep in mind that the curved shape of most pumpkins distorts the shape of the carving so that the outer edge of the carving is smaller than it should be. You can use the fisheye lens correction tool in your photo editing software program to correct this problem. For best results, use a picture of the Jack Skellington pumpkin carving taken in a darkened room while the pumpkin was lit from within.
