Witch and Trick or Treat graphics features on this candy box illustration from Breakers Confection Inc.

Wonderful graphics from yet another mid-century candy box container (see also Witch's Chest) of haunted houses with peek-a-boo windows. Especially fond of all the attic windows! This item is labeled on the bottom as: Manufactured and Packed by Breaker's Confections Inc., Chicago, Illinois.

Front and back house Halloween illustration with witches, trick-or-treaters, black cats, Jack O'Lanterns, ghosts, skeletons, and owls.

Boy trips on vintage Halloween burning Jack O'Lantern on fire after accident in Unsafe Halloween Costume

Following is a collage of pages scanned from a 1960's public service announcement on Halloween safety. The actual printed piece is a wallet-sized 3"x4" fold-out booklet from the Minnesota Department of Health printed in 1962 by Imagination Inc. Mod, kitschy, and rather grim, the story is a cross between a certain politically questionable rhyme of the late 1800's with humor reminiscent of Edward Gorey's The Gashlycrumb Tinies.
