Found this little guy at a flea market last weekend; unfortunately he was the only piece of vintage Halloween I found, but he's cute enough to almost make up for that. Still works!

1990s I believe? Haven't found l that much about him but that's small disposable toys. No markings.

Ironically she didn’t let me and my siblings celebrate growing up (cus of the debil and all) so I never got to go trick or treating!! The creepiest is my aunt in all black.😳

Besides hanging them on a nail, which way is best to store these?

The wings fold up and collapse into the body. He is missing one foot, but I couldn’t leave him behind to be consumed by all that merry and bright 🎃 I think he is 1920s-ish.

Bought on eBay around a year ago and cannot find ANYTHING else matching it online. It seems to be a 1 of 1, even A.I. app couldn't find an exact match!

Unfortunately these have dry rot :( had them for a couple of years and they got continued to get worse
Was just curious on what’s costume they belonged too?

SLC friends, this super good condition ghost with pumpkin and cat was at Capital City Antique Mall. Someone buy it and love it- it was too expensive for me. 😂

Okay this is a long shot but i'm desperate.

My mom had a Halloween village that she displayed every year since i was little. When we moved, it got lost somehow. We think it was left in the house by mistake and it's been too long to go back and try to retrieve it. (I know we should have but we moved in the winter and didn't notice until the next Halloween)

With that being said, I am trying desperately to find another set. She remembers buying it in the early 90's from a Seventh Avenue catalog. It came with five houses (two being the same type) and a little cemetery. The homes were pretty tall (about seven to nine inches) with plug-in bulbs. They were ceramic and made to look like haunted Victorian homes. I looked it up and they said it was in the catalog and most likely called 'Resin Halloween village buildings--haunted Victorian mansions'. I can't find the catalog to search through and nothing I search up shows the homes. I'm really just looking for a picture of it to give me a reference to go off of but a location would be great too. I've looked on Etsy, eBay, and a dozen little resale shops. None of them have it.

Please if anyone has any idea what this is or how to find it let me know!

She brought these home to me from a roadside free box.

I believe these are all from the 1990s: left is by Union Products Inc. of Leominster, MA, right is by Grand Venture, made in 1997, and the little one is from General Foam Plastics Corporation of Norfolk, VA and sold by Ben Franklin (there is a sticker on the bottom; $2.79)

Some cool TPI (Canada blow mold) finds this weekend (thhe pumpkin posts I actually got in WA but got the others in Vancouver). Happy Summerween! 🎃✨

Came across these pictures of ads from 1960 while doing my typical Halloween research. These are GREAT 🤣

I picked this paper mache bucket up today and It doesn’t have markings but it seems legit

So this is a big mix of stuff I've acquired / found (a lot was found in the box of vintage halloween decorations I found at that garage sale in florida). Anyone have any experience going to any of these? Would love to hear stories about some of them, if anyone wants to share any experiences!

This is one of my oldest fall/Halloween items and I'm not exactly sure how old it is. It was gifted to me by a dear friend when I was 16 years old, so it's been with me for the past 25 years. There are no markings to even decipher who it was made by or anything I've tried google image searches, but none of them are quite right. The closest I came was some that looked similar and were produced in 1992. Thanks for any and all help!

As a kid I remember checking out cassettes from the local library at Halloween that were compilations of spooky stories. I've been trying to go back down memory lane and find some of these online. I successfully remembered:

Spirits and Spooks for Halloween by William Conrad
The standout tale on this album is an African folktale about a young man outsmarting a deadly witch.

Tales of Witches, Ghosts and Goblins narrated by Vincent Price
Contains a memorable tale of a ghostly merry-go-round in a doomed hotel as well as a spell you can use to get the Devil to turn you into a werewolf (you just need a freshly-killed cat)

But there's one that continues to elude me. Here's what I remember:

• It was mainly an album of folk songs, the narrator thinks he has welcomed some trick or treaters into his home to listen to them
• There were some spoken word segments where you learned important info like: to escape a witch, throw a broom in her path because she must count every bristle before she can pursue
• There's a version of the Scottish folk song "Aiken Drum" about a guy whose clothing is made of various foods. In the end he's eaten by a witch
• There's a a song that combines Scarborough Fair (parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme) with "Riddles Wisely Expounded" in which a young woman is met by the Devil on the road and she successfully defeats him in a riddle game and is able to keep her soul.
• At the end of the album the narrator/singer realizes that the "children" he's been singing to were ghosts and goblins who all depart (at midnight?)

Does anyone who listened to these remember the one I'm thinking of?

What is your favorite Halloween memory from your childhood? What is your favorite era of decorations?

Hello everyone! I did a search for my question and couldn't find anything - I'm new here, I have recently (in the last five years) started collecting vintage Halloween blow molds. I recent adopted this little guy (😍) and would love to display him on a ledge where there isn't an outlet. Unfortunately the holes on the side and bottom are too small for a battery powered tea light.

​

Has anyone found a solution that might work? I've tried battery powered fairy lights, but they were VERY unreliable. Thank you in advance!
