The Old Remshaw Place

The Andy Griffith Show · Season 4, Episode 2 · “The Haunted House” (1963)

When Opie’s baseball lands inside the old Remshaw place, Andy, Barney, and Gomer go in after it. Barney is sure the house is haunted. There is that painting over the fireplace whose eyes seem to follow you around the room. And there is the axe he swears he saw floating through the air.

Old man Remshaw has since found it in his heart to light the way with pumpkins carved to look like Mayberry’s finest. WBMUTBB chapter member Paul Mulik drew the patterns so you can set a Barn-O-Lantern — or Floyd, Goober, and Opie — glowing on the porch.

Sure does feel like them eyes are following you everywhere, doesn’t it? Keep one eye on the page. That axe has a way of drifting by.

Carving notes. These are not beginner patterns. If you are new to pumpkin carving, warm up on a simpler face first. Plan on about an hour the first time through; they go faster after that.

Print the GIF, then enlarge or reduce it on a copier to match your pumpkin.
Tape the print to the pumpkin and transfer the design with a poke tool or by tracing after rubbing the back with pencil.
The patterns work well with a Pumpkin Masters-style carving kit (tools and paper patterns from a hobby shop or Walmart).

Neither Paul Mulik, who drew the Mayberry character designs, nor TAGSRWC is associated with Pumpkin Masters.
