Vintage Halloween Cards: Part 2
by: -RoG-

...CONTINUED


I guess she couldn't see the immediate future in that cup of tea. If she could,
perhaps she could avoid the creepy cherub who's been stalking her.


Wallop a black cat for Halloween.
(this message approved by the Humane Society)


'Twould indeed... 'twould indeed.


It's like those two zombie pumpkins are just daring the little boy and his dog to
hop the fence and grab that healthy pumpkin. That's just downright horrifying.


See whatever letter you want lady... just keep that blade away from me.


It looked festive enough at first, but then it was set ablaze and took on a whole new meaning.


Death really doesn't know how to hold a cat comfortably.


CAW! CAW! CAW!


No, I s'pose that's a coat rack and you're an idiot.


Pumpkin goblins sure of themselves some pancakes, eh?


That cat should look WAY more displeased considering he's being held by a NAKED PUMPKIN MAN.


Yes fun... because clearly these two are having nothing but fun.


Way to go Halloween greeting card maker! You've successfully taken all the romance out of serenading somebody.


I could care less about the Jack-O-Lantern... I'm more concerned about what will happen if the two little demons catch me.


Why are they stealing somebody's front gate? Why is one kid named "Jim" and the other named "Happy"?
We may never know.


Well, now we know why they were stealing it... they were stealing the Gate of Luck! Of course! Why
didn't I think of that! If there's one thing I like to do every Halloween, it's stealing gates from people's homes!


This man looks like he bobbed for a few too many apples. I think he's about to vomit.


Sure, Jack O' Lantern caught them kissing, what with the lipstick on the man's face 'n all...
but it also looks like he caught the guy copping a feel. Happy Halloween, fella!

One time I had a fever and was on medication and I spent the day in bed reading a Little Nemo book.

The hallucinatory dreams I had were exactly like these cards.

I do not know why, but the “Wallop” cat reminds me of the Simpson’s cat Snowball (II).

The girl looks like she is burning a training bra on the coat rack. It must be a subliminal women’s lib card.

Naked pumpkin boy is just creepy!!!!

The guy behind the fence looks like he may be into leather or potentially bondage. Maybe he should hook up with the girl tied up eating apples.

i actually know the history behind alot of these cards! i just read a book called Death Makes A Holiday and it talks about halloween culture. but in particular that one were you talked about the girl picking out her make up or blush.... those are actually three bowls... here is the story:

"its a divination game involving three bowls, on emepty, one with clear water, and one with soapy water or dirt. The blindfolded player would approach the bowls and dip her or his fingers into one. The clear water represented a virginal mate, the cloudy water or dirt represented damaged goods, and the empty one was the barren fate of a spinster or bachelor."

amazing huh? im available for parties people.

Perhaps one of the two little demons in that one card is really Azazel, in which case you have nothing to worry about! Unless, of course, it's the Azazel from that movie "Fallen" and not Isaac Asimov's Azazel...

While that cat with the oversized head is definitely creepier than any other character on the same card, it is still far away from surpassing the true evil that the naked pumpkin man is.

that Scotsman is clearly being caught in the act with that pig.

And I like how the little girl's candle isn't reflected in the mirror even though her candle is clearly right in front of the training bra, as McFly classified it. You cannot change the laws of physics, Jim!

and I wish I was going as Naked Pumpkin Man for Halloween and hadn't spent all my money on being Scrooge McDuck. Maybe next year

By today's standards, Naked pumpkin man should have a show on MTV.

Where he dates perverted, preferably hydrocephalic cats who go "Oh no you di'int girl"!
way too much.

Also, N.P.M. should become a vital portion of this site during Hallow e'en time.

Those playing cards on page 1 actually look pretty cool. I wouldn't mind having a set of those. Any clues on where to find them Rog?

The 'Death really doesn't know how to hold a cat comfortably' one had me in hysterics. I agree with many of the posters in the fact that Naked Pumpkin Man should be a feature for Halloween '09.

THAT KID'S NAME IS HAPPY.
How friggin' diabolical are you to name your child Happy? That'll probably disturb the kid forever. No wonder he's become a gate-stealing delinquent.

If I ever saw a Naked Pumpkin Man in my house, the first thing that would go through my mind would be a self-inflicted bullet.
