Punkin Stencils
From Homestar Runner Wiki
A yearly feature on the site, the Punkin Stencils are printable stencils to overlay on pumpkins for tracing and cutting. Started as the simple stencils selection, it returned for Halloween '04 with almost twice as many pumpkins as a pumpkin patch. In 2005, it was updated with the front row of Pumpkins and the light switch Easter egg. In 2006, a new front row was added. In 2007, another new layout was added, this time using a conveyor belt.
Features: Bad Graphics Ghost

Easter Eggs
- If you wait 20 seconds after the screen is done loading (without clicking any of the pumpkins), the Bad Graphics Ghost will appear.
- If your computer runs too slow to animate at the usual 12 frames per second it will take longer – the code waits for 240 frames.
- If you click on one of the pumpkins the timer stops – the ghost will appear after 20 seconds total with no stencil visible.
- By pressing L, you can turn off the lights and see the pumpkins light up. Press it again, and the lights will flicker for a moment before coming back on.
Fun Facts
Goofs
- The lights-out masks (see below) for the Poopsmith, Stinkoman, and most notably Sherlock are not quite right; they don't take the pumpkins in front of them into account.
Glitches
- If you roll your cursor over the pumpkins while the lights are out, the pumpkins will still expand, but the outline of the originals (before you roll over them) will be left visible. This is because the darkness is just a nearly-opaque black mask over the original scene.
Conveyor Belt
To scroll through available stencils, use the left and right buttons at the bottom. When you want to select a stencil, The Cheat will come down and gnaw out the pattern. The pumpkin will then start to glow and the stencil would be available.
All of the above stencils were available plus the follow four new stencils:
The Sad Kids, The Jolly Dumple, Cheatball, and 1-Up
