Horror Movie Cross Stitch Patterns

After sharing some cute Halloween patterns the other day, let’s go in the other direction with some cross stitch patterns inspired by horror movies.

You can stitch up an actually still kind of cute Ghostface from Scream with this pattern from Red Splatter Designs. It looks like it uses about five colors, and has a stitch area of 4.07 by 6.57 inches, or 10.3 by 16.7 cm. It would be perfect in an 8-inch hoop.

This mini Freddy Kruger from Night Sky Studio Dee is another fun one, and looks great on black fabric. He fits in a 4 to 6 inch hoop and would be great to hang in your TV room.

The Shining is about as scary as I can take, so I wanted to add in this Shining sampler from By Meg C. It includes all the highlights, from creepy twins to weird carpet, Danny’s tricycle and Jack’s typewriter. It’s 200 by 200 stitches and when you stitch it on 18 count fabric it fits in a 12-inch hoop.

If you can’t narrow down which horror movie is your favorite, you might want to stitch one of these projects instead. It’s horror movie time includes eight classic horror movie characters (don’t ask me to name them, I’m missing a couple) and is sold by Vikycialp. It only uses two colors and is 245 by 309 stitches. On 14 count fabric that comes out to 17.5 by 22 inches, or 44.4 by 56 cm.

The Friend horror cross stitch pattern from Leila Stitch is incredibly detailed and would be awesome for a horror lover with a dedicated movie room. It uses 18 colors (I really thought it would be more!) and measures 200 by 120 stitches. That’s 14.29 by 8.57 inches, or 36.3 by 21.77 cm, if you use 14 count fabric.

And if you like a little cute with your horror, I’m a horroraholic features mini versions of all your favorite slashers. (The pattern page doesn’t show it stitched on fabric but you get the idea from the photo.) This one is from Shimmering Pine Studio and comes out to about 21.5 by 17.5 inches, or 54.6 by 44.5 cm, on 14 count fabric.

Fourth of July Cross Stitch Patterns

I was directed to a cross stitch pattern from Silverberry Designs for a recent post I was working on, and I knew that I needed to share them with you for one reason: cross stitch Clue.

This re-creation of the Clue game board fits in a 10-inch frame, so it’s not really playable, but I still love it because I loved the game (and the movie) growing up. This pattern is 122 by 127 stitches, which comes out to 8.71 by 9.7 inches, or 22.1 by 23 cm, when worked on 14 count fabric. It uses 10 colors.

It turns out this store has a lot of game related cross stitch patterns. You’ll find playing cards, billiard balls, a roulette table and a classic Nintendo controller. There’s a ouija board, and board games for Sorry, Scrabble and Trouble. So fun for a game room or anywhere else.

The category that has the most patterns is holidays and religion, which is a hodgepodge of Christmas, July fourth and St. Patrick’s Day, with a Star of David, an Islamic crescent and star and some other things thrown in.

There are also a large number of LGBTQ+ patterns, from Pride flags to rainbow hearts and peace signs, and lots of other rainbow designs.

The “words & phrases” section includes bathroom rules, a blank monthly calendar, some snarky signs, teacher appreciation designs and more. You’ll also find a blank map of the United States you can stitch in as you travel, as well as more travel related designs, home and garden, holidays and celebrations, animals (hippo, owl, skunk, bald eagle, cat in leaves, etc.) and more.

The page also sells supplies including 14 count Aida fabric in 12 colors, needles, floss, hoops and more. And they have a subscription box that includes a pattern and all the supplies you need to make it. (The pattern is a surprise but you can contact them to ask if you really must know before you order.)
