Talk about a sweet tooth! You can call me Count Candy Corn, a real sucker for sweets. This Halloween, I traded blood for sugar and it turned me neon, with candy-colored veins of purple and blue. I’ll rot your teeth faster than you can say trick or treat!

Today's the day. My creations are complete. Thank you for breathing life into these creatures and joining me on this blood-filled adventure. I’m most curious which patterns spoke to you.

Clearly, the vampire urge has always flowed deep in my veins. This is one of my favorite photos of me from past Halloweens. It perfectly captures those nostalgic 80s vibes... from the plastic cape, to the safety glow stick, and the pumpkin pail that I still have.

Here’s your full look at the Class of 2025. This year’s lineup flowed straight from the vein of Blood of the Zombie Pumpkins, with vampires dominating the season in many forms: ancient, alluring, and occasionally adorable. Which of the new patterns do you think topped the charts this year?

I bet you didn't see this one coming. The Invisible Man is now at large. But how can you carve a pumpkin you can’t see?

This will be the last pattern released before Halloween, so make your choices and get carving!

This Bernard is no Saint. Cujo is foaming at the mouth with drool and pumpkin pulp. Lock the car doors and wait as long as you can. This pumpkin will still be standing guard on your porch.

The Jim Henson Company celebrates 70 years this year. This pumpkin features Jim himself, signed by his son Brian, who serves as the company’s chairman and carries on his father’s creative legacy. Thanks to my friends at The Jim Henson Company for helping me add this special piece to my collection.

This bloodsucking bunch drives a stake into the vampire theme I’ve been embracing this year, with 5 new carving patterns. Ranging from bratty to batty, you’ll even find some easier designs for the youngest pumpkin slayers.

Met Zach Galligan at CT HorrorFest. He’s shared my Gizmo pumpkin before, so I told him I’m the one who designed it. This time I brought Mohawk from Gremlins 2, a carving no one had seen yet. Funny and down-to-earth, Zach made it feel like catching up with an old friend. #Gremlins

Every year, Zombie Pumpkins donates a portion of VIP membership payments to charity. This year we're supporting the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP), which operates the world's largest bone marrow and stem cell donor registry. This Halloween, let's show that giving is in our blood.

Torn from the tattered zombie posters on the bedroom wall in ParaNorman, these moldy monsters are back in the spotlight, with a glow that screams cult classic. Carve this set of four angular abominations today. www.zombiepumpkins.com/patterns/par...

Every now and then, I have to remind myself that not everyone wants their pumpkins dripping with terror. So this new three-pattern group are all creatures of magic, myth, and mischief. Can you name all three?

Blue, fluffy, and full of fright, this pumpkin hugs a little too tight! His name is Huggy Wuggy, when he hugs you he’ll never stop. Your friend Huggy Wuggy, he'll squeeze you until you pop!

Chris Sarandon once signed my Jack Skellington pumpkin (he’s the voice of Jack in The Nightmare Before Christmas). This year at CT HorrorFest, I brought him my Fright Night vampire carving. I told him next time, I’ll carve Prince Humperdinck from The Princess Bride.

Happy Fang Friday! Jerry Dandrige is your charming next-door nosferatu with a thirst for necks and a love of apples. You have to have faith for this carving to work. Welcome to Fright Night… for real.

I was sad to hear about the passing of Drew Struzan, the artist whose nostalgic movie posters you recognize even if you don’t know his name. His paintings defined an era of film art. His spirit lives on in my office, where three Universal Monsters prints, signed by Drew himself, watch over me.

Before Dracula crept from the crypt, Abhartach haunted the hills. He was an undead Irish tyrant who wouldn't stay buried. Carve a legend older than Bram, and twice as bloody.

Carve freely of your own will, and leave some of the spirit you bring. Your pumpkin awaits the mark of Dracula, who has crossed oceans of time to be carved.

He’s finally taken flight, the new mascot for our 2025 season: Blood of the Zombie Pumpkins! Judging by those candy corn fangs, he’s probably more interested in stealing your Halloween candy. He’s a pumpkin with no pulse, but plenty of bite!

Happy Fang Friday! Sink your teeth into two new vampire stickers, now available in the shop. Both are the perfect size to slap on your coffin, laptop, or pumpkin pail. Their weatherproof vinyl keeps them looking sharp even when the sun comes up.

The spirits of LAIKA Studios have summoned me from my crypt to bring you these final four zombie judges from ParaNorman. They complete a full lineup of seven undead townsfolk, risen from the grave and ready to be carved.

Did you know this year’s Vintage Vampire Mask isn’t flying solo? He’s the fourth in my series of patterns inspired by those old-school Halloween masks. The patch has already been haunted by a devil, a witch, and a Frankenstein monster. Now you can carve the complete set of classic creeps.

I had the chance to meet David Naughton from "An American Werewolf in London.". He autographed a special double carving of "Nightmare David" and the full wolf transformation. He said it was the first time he had ever signed a pumpkin of his own face and added the perfect inscription: "Beast Wishes."

The new title has risen... introducing Blood of the Zombie Pumpkins! The site will soon be "re-vamped" with a bloody new look, bloodsucker puns around every corner, and a whole crop of upcoming vampire pumpkin patterns. Stay sharp, minions, the patch is cursed with thirst!

Happy Fang Friday! Sink your teeth into this Vintage Vampire Mask, inspired by the plastic disguises of Halloween yesteryear. This molded menace is ready to haunt your porch like it's 1979. No cape required, just a thirst for nostalgia.

Theeeey're heeeere... (almost). One week until the Creepy Pop-Up Market! If you're near CT on Sat. Sept. 27, come explore a gathering of artists and vendors... including me! 12 to 5 PM. Think of it as trick-or-treating for spooky grown-ups, where you get to choose exactly what goes in your bag.

David Kessler just had a terrible nightmare. He was mid-metamorphosis, baring his fangs in a frightful vision. Will this pumpkin become An American Werewolf in London? We'll let you know the next full moon.

When longtime follower Sean asked me to create a carving design of the Dread Pirate Roberts so he could present it to Westley himself, actor Cary Elwes, what else could I say but, "As you wish."

The soundtrack of Halloween is out! "Music for Halloween Night" by George Streicher is on all streaming platforms, cassettes and CDs. And what is a perfect soundtrack without the perfect pumpkin pattern? The album's conductor has stepped off the cover and onto the carving table. Meet the Maestro.
