Did you ever play Bloody Mary as a kid around Halloween time? If so, you will love this nostalgic “Bloody Mary” pumpkin stencil which has been created by Zombie Pumpkins.
The stencil is designed to look like a horrified girl with blood dripping down her face. Even if you have never heard of Bloody Mary, this pattern would still be a cool one to use for your pumpkin carving project this Halloween.
Zombie Pumpkins has rated this pumpkin stencil moderate in carving difficulty. So if you are looking for something a little challenging but not overly frustrating, this might be the one for you and your family.
In fact, if you are going to be carving the pumpkin as a family, you might even tell the story of Bloody Mary as part of your Halloween project. The website Wrens World is a good place to go to if you are seeking the story behind the legend.
Or you could simply play the game as you did when you were a kid. In case you need some refreshing, according to Wrens World, the directions for playing this Halloween game are as follows: “What you need is one candle, a strong heart and a big bathroom with a large mirror. Turn out the lights, place your candle down and light it, stand and look into the mirror, chant slowly ‘Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary’. And see what happens….. If nothing happens try spinning around three times and then look into the mirror. You may just catch a glimpse of her terrifying face.”
In order to print out and download the stencil, you will have to join the Zombie website first. It costs $2 to join.
