Spookmasters has to be one of my favorite websites to find free pumpkin stencils. The site is very easy to navigate and has no ads. The free pumpkin carving patterns are also well categorized. 

While they don’t have a ton of what I would call regular jack-o’-lantern patterns, their “traditional pattern” category includes lots of iconic characters from the Star Wars, Marvel, Harry Potter, and DC universes.

They also have a wide array of sports patterns, animal patterns, and patriotic patterns.

The Pumpkin Lady

Although the Pumpkin Lady has a thousand free pumpkin carving designs, I found the website a bit annoying to navigate.
