Vintage Hallowe'en....
... with the old spelling of Halloween....("Hallowe'en")...
Part of the reason for lighting of a carved gourd for this Special Night...
Just after midnight here.....
and Witches have long been associated with Halloween...
A Pumpkin-Head figure was often used as a "Mascot" for the Holiday...
Much like little "Sam" (from the film, "Trick-r-Treat")...
Jack_o-Lanterns and Black Cats... also part of Hallowe'en of old...
Some Hallowe'en greetings were "Love" letter type things...
A couple of old traditions...
Wishing at Midnight and the looking into a mirror (to see the face of your future spouse)...
The tradition of paper-lanterns as well as craving of Jack-o-Lanterns...
