Pestilent, Perverse, Palpitating, Putrefying, Pumpkins!

The ghoulfriend recently left a comment asking for jack o' lantern stencils. What a wonderful example of masked support: her way of giving me ideas without 'giving' me ideas. That being said; sharpen the blades, turn down the lights, and get ready to mutilate some defenseless pumpkins. I've been hard at work with my pick and shovel unearthing some of the internet's finest stencil sites. Behold the results:

Frightfully fun virtual carver. After you've perfected your putrid pumpkin, print off a stencil and brink it to unholy life.
