# Step-by-Step Instructions:

Unwrap the Brie wheel. Place a Ghostface-shaped stencil on top and lightly score the outline with the tip of a knife. Cut out the face shape, using any trimmed pieces to complete the head or chin as needed.

Carefully cut out the eyes, nose, and mouth from the Brie wheel. Reserve the removed cheese for other uses.
03 -
Mix blackberry jam with 4 crushed blackberries. Spoon this mixture into the cut-out eyes, nose, and mouth. Avoid overfilling to maintain facial details.

Gently place the sculpted Brie face onto a large serving platter.
05 -
Surround the Brie with fresh blackberries, arranging them to resemble a hood and shoulders for the face.
06 -
Lay the sliced meats neatly below the Brie and blackberries to form a base for the display.
07 -
Use alphabet cutters to cut Havarti cheese into letters spelling out 'What's your favorite scary movie?' or another themed phrase. Place the letters atop the arranged meats.
08 -
Slice the mini peppers into strips and arrange them at the bottom of the board for color and contrast.
09 -
Surround the board with chips, crackers, or bread as desired for serving.

Allow Brie to sit at room temperature for easier slicing and molding.
