The Haunted World of Halloween Village Houses (Fourth Edition)

584e4d4a0b633e480f02b681551ed847

Next, it’s on to Halloween village houses. Borrowed from the Christmas village house tradition, these have a rather haunted twist. After all, companies need to make money all year round. While many people go all out on Halloween. So it makes good business sense. Nonetheless, many prefer to make their own haunted houses in black and orange. Some might contain skeletons and candy corn covered trees. Some might have jack-o’-lanterns, trick-or-treaters, and other ghoulish monsters. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of Halloween village houses. Enjoy if you dare.

  1.  You might pass by this house  covered in vines.

Though it doesn’t seem decrepit at all. Since it’s in bright pink and orange.

 

2. A haunted house always needs bare-limbed trees nearby.

The Dark Scary World of Vintage Halloween Costumes (Fifth Edition)

26-Best-Vintage-Halloween-Costumes-Inspiration11

For some mysterious reason, old vintage Halloween pictures seem to be a lot creepier for some reason. Maybe it’s the black and white photography. Maybe it’s how the costumes were made. Maybe it’s their conception of scary. I don’t know. Still, when you look at them, they’re bound to freak you out and give you nightmares for weeks to come. Anyway, for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of nightmarish vintage Halloween costumes. Sweet dreams.

  1.  She’s all dressed in ready for the spiderweb ball.
26-Best-Vintage-Halloween-Costumes-Inspiration19

So is this how they dressed for Halloween during the 18th century? Or did people during the 18th century not celebrate it?

2. Now, everyone, smile for the camera.

1.-MSS_577_B001_F013_I0i012-Halloween-1914

Man, I don’t think the guy dressed as a Native American would fly today. Also, some of the masks are quite terrifying.

3. I’m sure this witch is kind to her animals.

1b7bee6f0211a7d07e1f07749a24e54b

Yet, I’m not exactly sure by the grin on her face. Also, that cat looks like it’s stuffed.

4. The kitchen staff can be such animals.

1f946fa84137df85775134ac2bbf50d8

Okay, I don’t want to go in there. For all I know they could be cooking some of Hannibal Lecter’s best known recipes.

5. We all have our bad hair days.

2c8c4fe66e5685a10a1d30253c82983b

Yet, she could use a full-on makeover. Then again, witches don’t care much about their looks, anyway.

6. Even a ghostly skeleton seeks to pick up chicks.

6ca9534ada2d387dfe6b5d8623d4f629

I’m sure this version of Ghost doesn’t contain the iconic pottery wheel scene. In fact, I don’t think they’ll be making love to “Unchained Melody” anytime soon either.

7. You’d think this lady was batty.

7ede295f5bc076ce95d99de4cfeb302f

Yes, she’s in a sexy bat costume. But her dress doesn’t make much sense to me, save for fanservice.

8. Perhaps buying your costume isn’t as great as it seems.

16

Yeah, the masks look kind creep thanks to black and white photography. Still, the one with the leopard print doesn’t seem to have a face.

9. Want to dress as a sexy ghost? Just put a white bag on your head.

370

You could never pull this kind of costume in PA. Mainly because the weather’s under 50 degrees by this point.

10. May I present to you the 19th century version of the Village People.

742e0ff915b17ff02b42493818380e98

As you can see, they’re not exactly a lively bunch. In fact, they seem more likely to kill you in your sleep.

11. What a couple of babies.

33360e2a302dc923b36a3da2a6ca715a--creepy-vintage-vintage-halloween

Okay, these two look too big to be babies. Yet, their masks can just scare the living shit out of you.

12. You might fly with these Peter Pan costumes.

092519_vintage-disney-halloween-roundup-0-780x440-1569447014

These are actually really terrifying. And it really says a lot since Peter Pan is an incredibly creepy movie.

13. Here you see Spiderman and Batman hang out with Colonel Sanders.

slide_255991_1627296_free

What a way to show a good example to kids, superheroes. Of course, masked vigilantism doesn’t help either.

14. How about you hang near the car?

84025916

That duck mask is frightening. Then again, the chicken mask may even be scarier.

15. Hope the trick-or-treaters can make themselves comfortable.

285050908_ced3a05e9b_o

Okay, those vintage costumes are actually scarier in color. Even in regards to Princess Aurora, Casper, and Snoopy.

16. These kids are just resting on the grass.

412286099_o1-600x332

These masks are incredibly terrifying. Don’t look now, but I think these kids are devising ways to kill neighbors who don’t give them candy.

17. Have fun trick-or-treating, kids.

2940565506_6d38cbca8e_b

Apparently, someone managed to make Spiderman and the Lone Ranger scary. While the Wolf man seems kind of lame.

18. That’s an odd looking giraffe.

455708056018727728

Since the giraffe is made out of paper. Still, wonder how the girl can see in it.

19. Beware of the chicken boy.

b49cea7f23171477fcd4feeb7dd9d9d6

I don’t know why the kid just stick around transfixed on the chicken. When the girl should be running away screaming for her dear life.

20. These two are just walking the street on their Halloween haunt.

b79b282cadea6a1cfdd629749c78a02a

The witch seems like she’s wearing Groucho Marx glasses without the mustache. But it should be the ghost that really scares us.

21. You might want to get away from the monster behind you.

b657d599790422dd94e880663dbb139c--halloween-photos-vintage-halloween

That’s Frankenstein’s monster attacking that boy. And I’m sure the boy might need another pair of pants.

22. Sorry to crash a medieval plague doctors meeting.

c1fae1c9bb70b8f295bc90277ee41e94

Since they’re all wearing bird masks and cloaks. Still, if it was the 1300s, we’d wonder how many of them will be left next year.

23. You’d think this is an odd-looking bird.

cardboard1

Well, it’s a cardboard costume. But it kind of looks eerie in black and white photography.

24. Beware of the little red devil.

devilmaskk

I’m sure this kid is all right. But the costume makes him seem like a little terror out of hell.

25. A mother sits with her strangely dressed children.

gallery-1508177568-gettyimages-550151771

Two of them are supposed to be dwarfs, I think. One’s a cowboy. And one’s the Monopoly Man. But all seem rather dead inside.

26. This woman just wears a dress, mask, and cone hat.

girl-in-a-halloween-costume-in-1928-ontario-canada-414x640

Wearing that, you’d think she was on her way to a cult meeting. But she has a pumpkin on her dress.

27. These four just hang around the front door.

Creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-5

But look at their masks and you don’t want them in your house. Seriously, they make Freddy Krueger look like a character on Sesame Street.

28. You wouldn’t want to run into this little clown at night.

halloween-costumes3

Wonder if this is a childhood photo of Pennywise the Clown. I mean he had to be a child somehow.

29. Here a ghost emerges from the bushes.

halloween-costumes22

Let’s hope he didn’t make it from some Klan robe. Because they were a thing back in the Gilded Age and 1920s.

30. This doesn’t seem like a fun Halloween party.

Vintage_40ccb2_6430304

Consists of a scary clown and two very offensive stereotypes. For God’s sake it was the early 1900s. Times were really racist.

31. Well, this seems like a strange horse race.

il_570xN.869778560_szvv

Yes, you see people sharing horse costumes. One guy has very little legs like Lord Farquad.

32. Don’t hitch a ride with these masked men.

original

Since they’ll take you to an undisclosed location. Then they’ll kill you and rip you to pieces.

33. Who knows what this clown will do to these two women.

Scary-Vintage-Clown-Halloween-Costume

Yeah, I get that he’s wearing a tall hat. But I think after this picture was taken, the two women were never seen again.

34. The skull person is within the living room.

scary-vintage-halloween-creepy-costumes-114-57fc8e918e308__605

Indeed, they’re not scaring anyone. But in time, they will chase teenagers with a knife once it gets dark.

35. Each trick-or-treater shall receive a large pumpkin bag.

slide_255991_1627584_free

The devil and Raggedy Ann masks will haunt your dreams. The cat, not so much.

36. Sometimes a white mask is all you need.

Spooky_Styles_of_Halloween_Costumes_from_a_Century_Ago_(1)

She’s even on roller skates. That means she can go after you with a knife faster. Except on the stairs.

37. Are those kids or ventriloquist dummies?

stuffyoushouldknow-14-2013-09-vintage-halloween17

Well, they could be kids wearing masks. Yet, they don’t really seem very lifelike to me. Something’s off here.

38. The light’s quite misty, isn’t it?

stuffyoushouldknow-14-2013-09-vintage-halloween55

One of the revelers reminds me of an undead muppet. Another has a rather creepy clown face.

39. Apparently, someone’s fallen into a creepy cult ritual.

tumblr_nebmpwvXFe1rhhnauo1_500

These women wear dresses with markings on them. But they must dance around two virgins before they sacrifice them to their blood hungry god.

40. A witch stands with her cat.

untitled1

She seems rather lonely. Mostly because everyone’s frightened of her. And her cat’s plush, I think.

41. These two seem like a rather odd couple.

untitled3

One wears a mask with make while looking dashing in a top hat and coat. The other wears a mask and a dress.

42. Here’s a friendly guy you’d meet in the park.

Vintage_9ba841_6430304

Kind of reminds me of the guy kicked off The Muppet Show. Since he often gave kids candy from his windowless van. Or so I heard.

43. Care to see the clown in the corner?

Vintage_54b346_6430304

On second thought, I’ll pass on that one. Don’t want to be found near the river with an ax in my back.

44. Don’t you ever refuse to give these kids candy.

Vintage_c54189_6430304

Because if you do, they will kill you. Even if you honestly ran out, they will still slay you. So please have candy ready for them.

45. Sandra finds romance on Planet of the Apes.

vintage-halloween-7-850x633

“Come to me, you damn dirty ape. Send me to your monkey bar sex dungeon.”

46. Don’t you dare cross this masked maid.

vintage-halloween-630x387

Mess with her and she’ll make sure you pay with your life. And she’ll make you pay.

47. You might enjoy this jolly clown.

Vintage-halloween-costume

Okay, this clown is terrifying. Avoid him like the plague if you value your life.

48.  You’d swear you’ve seen these trick-or-treaters from space.

Vintage-Halloween-Costume1-630x435

These costumes are quite frightening. Yet, the astronaut has to wear a rocket shaped mask for some reason.

49. “Come and play with us, Danny.”

vintage-halloween-costumes16

Those princess masks are guaranteed to give you nightmares. Will certainly haunt your dreams.

50. Perhaps you might enjoy a couple of sisters.

vintage-halloween-costumes-19

One doesn’t pretend not to care. The other’s thinking about skinning the neighbor’s cat.

51. Make sure your stick matches your masks.

vintage-halloween-costumes-1930s-7

Though each one is just as scary. And the kids in the back certainly know it.

52. Looks like the Turnip ghost caused some scares.

wp-content2Fuploads2F20142F102FHalloween-costumes-1.jpg2Foriginal

The woman is freaking out. The guy is splayed on the floor. Wonder if this is some horror cosplay scene.

53. Just because you’re a woman doesn’t mean you can’t be Batman.

Z0SQXrk

Well, she’s an early incarnation of Batwoman. But what am I kidding? Batman wasn’t around yet.

54. Well, we’ve got a couple of lone rangers.

zorro-lone-ranger-1950s-halloween-costumes

Actually, one’s supposed to be Zorro. But they will strike if not given candy for trick-or-treating.

55. “Won’t you come and spoon with me?”

creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-spoon

Oh, hell no. For God’s sake I’m not that desperate for cuddles.

56.  “I’m just a little school girl.”

creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-hair

I don’t know about you. But that’s a dude who looks like a lady to me. Possible ancestor of Steve Tyler from Aerosmith.

57. “Get off my lawn, you brats!”

creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-man

For if you don’t, he’ll run you down and cut you up in his basement. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

58. Watch out for the locker room ghosts.

creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-bags

Of course, they probably didn’t have the time and resources for a full sheet. So they used pillow cases instead. One even has a black bag.

59. “I shall call him, Mini Me.”

creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-boys

These two wear the same cone black hats. The smaller boy is pure evil.

60. I give you, the Elephant Man.

creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-elephant-man

Okay, that’s kind of insensitive. Joseph Merrick deserves more dignity than that. Then again, he probably doesn’t know anything about Merrick.

61. Send in the big clowns.

creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-large-men

On second thought, do clowns really need to be inflated. That just makes them scarier.

62. “Are you comfortable, madam?”

creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-mouse

This mouse seems rather hospitable to that girl. Don’t really want to what kind of relationship they have.

63. “Let’s just watch that house burn.”

creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-overexposure

These masks are so terrifying even if they’re supposed to be dolls and clowns. And I’m sure they just set a house on fire.

64. Clown or space alien? You decide.

creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-tall

Actually, she’s probably dressed like a clown. But her tall hat totally seems like it’s from another planet.

65. These two always stick together.

creepy-vintage-halloween-costumes-twins

Mostly because they’re dressed as co-join twins. They do a lot together, including murder.

66. “Want to join us at the farm?”

90

They’re all decked in their pajamas like they’re having a slumber party. Though I’ll pass on this one.

67. This black cat lingers in the alley.

901

Sure they may look scary. But the 2019 trailer to Cats just makes it look tame in comparison.

68. Hello boys and girls, it’s Beppo the clown.

s-l400

For God’s sake, kill this infernal creature with fire. Before he kills somebody or gets in a daycare center.

69. Don’t want to run into these monsters even on a good day.

5380fadd8d3aea945607828307880306

They’re just kids in Halloween costumes. But the masks are simply spooky.

70. Don’t mess with these clown ladies.

26-Best-Vintage-Halloween-Costumes-Inspiration24

Mock their circus act and I swear they will rain fire and terror on you. Or they’ll just kill you in your sleep.

71. Skull girl just loves hanging among the flowers.

947e180a78cf67da32a107785603df2f-creepy-halloween-halloween-costumes

Hey, at least she’s not Rhoda from the Bad Seed. She wouldn’t kill anyone for trivial stuff like a penmanship award. But she will if you mess with her.

72. Why so sad, scarecrow?

a04b57335f3b5adba55e25e6ab2f50b9--creepy-vintage-vintage-halloween

Guy looks like a sagging and depressed muppet. And with bad fashion sense.

73. This witch is awfully fond of these little girls.

vintage-halloween-costumes-31

Wonder if that witch is in costume. But she shows eyes of ill intent.

74. Care for some clandestine greenhouse ritual?

be58156ab711a838c386f15f51450b3d

The kids seem like they’re dressed in their pajamas. The mom’s dressed as a witch.

75. Here’s a still from the new Joker movie.

haunted-clown

Well, that might be a little too early. But I’m sure he’ll grow up to be an unstable psychopath nonetheless.

76. Pretty short to have mustaches, don’t you think?

faf9cea126536f89948f9ff3499bffb5

One’s wearing a dress to indicate she’s clearly a girl. But these two seem like they’re silently judging you in those creepy masks.

77. “Here’s Toodles!”

f2923904e5275691c5b66af523164b4f

Seeing that clown hovering over that family sends shivers down my spine. Also, is he holding a gun?

78. “I just came here to pick up a few things like your soul.”

il_570xN.1626451553_srki

I can understand why that girl’s screaming. Still, kind of way too young for this Faustian bargain thing. I think there should be an age of consent for that.

79. Got you 4 little devils in a row.

halloween-costumes-69

They’re even all holding masks. But come midnight, they will wreak havoc on a murder spree.

80. These robots come from another galaxy.

Creepy_48cc17_6071176

But mess with them, they’re bound to exterminate you. They also have great fashion sense.

Ghastly Halloween Greetings in the Ghoulish Days of Old (Fifth Edition)

b1e6e953167fc5c29f1481c3460984d1

Now it’s on to the Halloween vintage cards. In these days, there seems to be a greeting card for almost everything. In the olden days, this was no exception except in regards to MLK Day because the great civil rights leader wasn’t born yet or any kind of holidays white people didn’t celebrate. Anyway, given that Halloween greeting cards are apparently still a thing, you shouldn’t be surprised to see plenty vintage ones. However, in many ways, the vintage cards usually tend to be crazier for various reasons. Some may be dated. Some may be inappropriate. Some may be racist. And some may contain imagery that doesn’t seem to fly today. So for your reading pleasure, I bring you another assortment of crazy vintage Halloween greeting cards.

  1. The moon doesn’t seem too happy these days.
4d367a1630c5345638057e649b441e5e--halloween-moon-happy-halloween.jpg

“Why the hell would leave a perfectly good office binder on my doorstep? Don’t they know they’re very expensive?”

2. “I wish you a jolly Halloween.”

10

And that’s not a safe way to hold a jack-o’-lantern, kids. Honestly, that’s a fire hazard.

3. Want to catch a jack-o’-lantern? Spread crumbs through a wagon, I think.

16

That way, he’ll be happy to tag behind you wherever you go. Still, how did anyone think this was a good idea?

4. This demon comes out to greet you from the jack-o’-lantern.

31 (1)

Seems kind of friendly for a creature of Hell. Guess it’s hot inside that jack-o’-lantern.

5. While mere mortals use jack-o’-lanterns as Halloween decoration, witches use them for broom headlights.

31e128e0ac0d73cd8ee602d23f9524e1

If it can talk, it doubles as a GPS system. Who knows how the characters in Harry Potter can do without them.

6. “O! Ghostly friend,/Thy hair’s on end/What fearful fate do you portend?”

678cadbca830b8067063525e0679d131

To be honest, the corn guy’s more likely freaking me out. Seriously, it just gives me nightmares.

7. “Whoo-oo  dares keep Halloween with me?”

726d423b708f54a8b718da7e0fff65be

The owl’s like, “I’ve got my eyes on you, floating pumpkin head.” Or something like that.

8. Feel free to sit down in your jack-o’-lantern bib.

865f6b242f2b1b5227da9d293b047568

Actually that bib’s kind of creepy if you ask me along with the jack-o’-lanterns on the top corners. Also, the girl seems like she’s slightly suffocating.

9. Don’t know if you want a bat pop up from a jack-o’-lantern.

898e29c0ceaa2af5ff0d39929a7b75b1

Seems like everyone in this is freaked out by this. Save for the black cat for some reason.

10. Even the pumpkins make out in the pumpkin patch on Halloween night.

39673-Vintage-Halloween-Card-Ca.-1930-s

Still, despite the inscription, how do pumpkins hug and kiss? Linus, can you answer me on this one?

11. Perhaps you might want to go as a skeletal bat for Halloween.

14937376_1217882641568058_5044743004282485113_n

Seriously, she’s dressed up as a bat that bit into a powerline. Kind of disturbing if you think about it.

12. “With all Hallowe’en Greetings.”

1403932732_aec27c4311_b

Yet, that owl’s watching the creepy pumpkin man follow the seeds from the woman’s contraption. Wonder if this was a thing back then.

13. Pumpkin head kids wish you a jolly Halloween.

ae772831a00a20ebc2196909e41b40b8

Oh, those creepy orange kids with one holding a poor cat. Makes me wonder if this is a childhood photo of Donald Trump. Wouldn’t surprise me.

14. Bet you don’t want a skeleton to get you.

early-1900s-vintage-halloween-cards

Are those monsters supposed to be goblins? Also, why is one riding a cat?

15. When a witch wants a kid to get off her lawn, she means it.

halloween1

Here she chases a kid with a jack-o’-lantern on a stick. And I thought witches ate kids. Then again, that may not be the case.

16. Forget brooms. The modern witch travels on a biplane of giant playing cards.

halloweencards15-1080x687

She even has a jack-o’-lantern on the front for navigation. And yes, it runs on owl power. But the cat’s kind of afraid of heights.

17. This Halloween, stay out of the cabbage patch.

halloweencards18-360x550

No, these aren’t the Cabbage Patch kids you remember. Actually this cabbage people make out scene is getting a bit out of hand.

18. “For ways that are dark and tricks that are vain. Watch out!”

halloweencards21-1080x697

Here a black cat sits with 4 scary jack-o’-lanterns. But at least they’re not lit, yet.

19. Everyone loves a Halloween costume party.

halloween-2880646_960_720

Though whether to dance with a medieval version of the Joker is another matter. Seriously, his costume’s kind of freaky if you ask me.

20. The black cat in a pumpkin has a letter for you.

halloweencards22-1080x689

Though the kid doesn’t seem to think twice about trusting the cat. Kind of looks hypnotized. Also, note the sticks under the pumpkin.

21. Riding a broom on an ear of corn gives a witch more seat room.

halloweencards23-1080x685

But make sure the ear is giant size and has bat wings. Also, I think she might drive using a sideways steering wheel.

22. On Halloween, fell free to hoist the jack-o’-lantern flag.

pretty-vintage-halloween-time-post-card-with-sweet-old-witch-lady-and-black-cat-with-pumpkin-flag-graphic-vintage-halloween-ca

Instead of a skull and crossed bones, this flag has a jack-o’-lantern and crossed candles. Yet, the witchy woman has a rather suggestive expression.

23. The jack-o’-lantern always watches outside.

halloweencards34-1080x704

So maybe playing naked outside at night is not a good idea. Not that it would be anyway.

24. Dancing pumpkin man wishes you a happy Halloween.

halloween-vintage-best-of-556-best-cards-halloween-vintage-2-images-on-pinterest-of-halloween-vintage

Unlike most depictions, he’s wearing a suit. Still, he’s guaranteed to inspire nightmares.

25. This little witch wishes you Halloween greetings.

scary-creepy-vintage-halloween-greeting-cards-1-high

Though I’m not necessarily sure that she’s sitting appropriately. This is especially since she has her skirt up.

26. It takes two to carry a large jack-o’-lantern.

untitled

Nonetheless, the jack-o’-lantern seems to have a mind of its own. As you can tell by the eyes.

27. For many, Halloween is a time of love.

untitled1

But since these kids have their hands on the jack-o’-lantern too long, the pumpkin’s starting to feel smushed. Seriously, they need their space once in awhile.

28. Wanna make some noise?

untitled6.png

Yet, the pumpkin guys sitting on the gourd are very unsettling to me. One doesn’t seem too happy with the girl blowing her horn.

29. Don’t look at the jack-o’-lantern in the barrel.

untitled3

Since there’s a rather creepy kid inside. And I don’t think the kid in front really wants to know.

30. Halloween greetings from the witch with a pumpkin fetish.

untitled4.png

Hey, it may not look the least bit normal. But at least she’s not making out with Donald Trump.

31. Be careful in a room with masks.

untitled5

Actually I don’t know why this woman can be in the same room with all these scary masks. Since they all look incredibly terrifying.

32. Ghost jack-o’-lantern wishes you happy Halloween on a broomstick.

wp-content2Fuploads2F20142F102FHalloween-cards13.jpg2Foriginal

The outfit’s rather translucent. Though the jack-o’-lantern doesn’t seem sure how to fly this thing.

33. “The joys of Halloween be yours.”

untitled8

Excuse me, but what the hell is Cupid doing here? This isn’t even his holiday. He’s Valentine’s Day.

34. Don’t be surprised to see double this Halloween.

vintage Halloween card complicated spell

You can see how the images mirror each other. While the jack-o’-lantern thinks it’s just crazy.

35. Hide all you want to, but you can’t fool the moon.

Vintage Halloween Cards (3)

To be fair these jack-o’-lanterns are rather creepy. But what are they doing behind that stack?

36. A witch and owl love hanging out together on the moon.

vintage-halloween-card1

That owl looks abnormally huge. Because most don’t grow that big. Yet, the witch doesn’t care.

37. There’s nothing on Halloween like making out in a jack-o’-lantern.

vintage-halloween-card22

First, that’s a major safety hazard since the clothes could catch on fire. Second, the cat and owl are basically like, “get a room, you two.”

38. The moon always knows a hot witch when it sees one.

vintage-halloween-card27

Here the moon gazes on the witch with a pervy smile. While the witch might want to blow out her candle so the moon doesn’t see her as well.

39. Now where did that slice of cake go?

vintage-halloween-card28

Yes, these creepy pupkin people have it for some reason. Maybe I’ll be okay without it. I’ll live.

40. Seems like her high beams are flashing.

vintage-halloween-card-retro-2

See what I mean about a jack-o’-lantern functioning has headlights on a broomstick. Why don’t they have that in Harry Potter?

41. Remember that witches will kidnap your children.

Vintage-Halloween-Cards-vintage-16379797-563-347

I don’t have a good feeling about these kids. Since witches are known to eat children. The boy doesn’t seem to mind though.

42. All kinds of demons can come out of a jack-o’-lantern.

Vintage-Halloween-Cards-vintage-16380109-320-500

Here it sits upon a sinister black cat. Must be magical because I can’t see how the cat can retain its balance.

43. An owl sits upon a glowing jack-o’-lantern holding an apple.

vintage-halloween-postcard-turn-of-the-century-10

Yet, the girl seems rather fascinated instead of freaking out. Because how can the owl get inside? And it can basically claw and peck you to death.

44. Here this woman sits on a jack-o’-lantern dressed as an owl.

Winsch-witch-postcard-copy

Yet, the giant jack-o’-lantern has a rather terrifying expression. Since even the cat’s freaking out.

45. You can always sit back on a jack-o’-lantern with a candle on Halloween.

wp-content2Fuploads2F20142F102FHalloween-cards5.jpg2Foriginal

The pumpkin’s glowing. While the cat is glaring at the viewer with malicious intent. Wouldn’t want to go near that thing.

46. Don’t look now but I think that jack-o’-lantern’s stoned out of its mind.

wp-content2Fuploads2F20142F102FHalloween-cards6.jpg2Foriginal

Not sure what’s in that pipe. But I also think the jack-o’-lantern’s looking up that woman’s skirt. That cat’s like, “Not cool, man.”

47. A campfire is always a graveyard smash.

wp-content2Fuploads2F20142F102FHalloween-cards7.jpg2Foriginal

And yet, one’s running away in fear, two are on top of each other, and the would’ve gotten a selfie to post on Instagram. Only trouble is that smartphones and Instagram aren’t around yet.

48. Happy Halloween by the demon child soldier.

wp-content2Fuploads2F20142F102FHalloween-cards8.jpg2Foriginal

Once you’re asleep, this little boy will come into your room with a knife and kill you. If you don’t take some time to lock your doors first.

49. Here a little witch picks up a name from the jack-o’-lantern.

wp-content2Fuploads2F20142F102FHalloween-cards11.jpg2Foriginal

Whoever’s name she gets, she’ll go to their house and turn them into a newt. And I’m not sure if they’ll get better.

50. Happy Halloween from behind the haystack.

wp-content2Fuploads2F20142F102FHalloween-cards14.jpg2Foriginal

Now that looks like a fire hazard waiting to happen. Wouldn’t be surprise if the jack-o’-lantern leads to the stack catching on fire and the boy burning to a crisp.

The Spooky World of Halloween Pumpkin Dioramas (Fifth Edition)

1.DIY-Triangular-Pumpkin-Diorama

Almost every October for the last five years, my pumpkin diorama posts have always been perennial favorites. As you can see above, these consists of dioramas inside pumpkins. Though I often put them under Halloween decorations, they’re not exclusively so. After all, I’ve put up some pumpkin dioramas relating to Dia de los Muertos and Thanksgiving. Nonetheless, since most of these relate to Halloween, I usually put them there. Not to mention, pumpkin dioramas are often difficult to find. Anyway, for your reading pleasure, I bring you another assortment of pumpkin dioramas for this Halloween season.

  1. This pumpkin will bring you all the way to the Upside Down.
1GwKeFF

On top is the Byers’ living room. On the bottom is the Upside Down.

2. A skull always belongs in a haunted house.

1pl184nuhpm11

The skull is even on a stack of pumpkins. The house is obviously made out of cardboard.

3. Seems like the tree lost its leaves.

FINISHED

The tree on this one is a twig. Yet, the grass looks quite dead and freaky.

4. Nobody could resist these two scarecrows.

91GHLZ5K8BL._SX700_

This is a Thanksgiving diorama. But you have to admire the different colored pumpkins inside.

5. Don’t want to spend a scary night camping.

170da3_237a6fdf80c34ed390191c76241494ec~mv2_d_6016_4000_s_4_2

Inside this one is a campsite. And it’s only lit by one fire.

6. This skeleton’s just chilling in the grave.

2013-1046-main-image.1432222144

The pumpkin here is rather small. But the owl on top is so adorable.

7. These kids are just spending some time in a scary cemetery.

004722d162d762f6b6cf5cf3a479b379

This is more of a collage with cut outs of kids and grave stones. Kind of scary, isn’t it?

8. You receive ghoulish greetings from this pumpkin house.

7634fdabaebeeed33d20952a4f9de1c3

This one just has a fake candle inside the front doorway. The windows even have shutters.

9. Even witches enjoy a carousel ride now and then.

9550cfee40604f024a4267a5f16c8d21

This one uses a pumpkin for a witch carousel. Wonder if it spins around.

10. You don’t know what’s lurking in this haunted forest.

52906ca2753737b181e08b5a7b72ef49

This one isn’t nearly as dark as some of the others. But there’s a little black creature with fangs facing the opening.

11. Barb has been taken by the Upside Down.

171027_vod_orig_stranger_things_halloween_ideas_16x9_1600

Poor Barb. Taken from us long before we really got to know her. She will be missed.

12. An orange glitter house will always stand out.

124276033

This orange house stands in front of a black background. Includes glitter trees and a white pumpkin.

13. Turkeys lurk in the pumpkin patch at night.

8191200653_29735f3e90_b

The pumpkins are made from peeps. While the crescent moon’s made from construction paper. Enjoy life while it lasts, turkeys.

14. Dog fans will howl over this pumpkin scene.

37012967904_53d9cda052_b

It just consists of doggy cut outs. And yes, the dogs are wearing costumes.

15. A white house can use some lighting.

at home halloween 2018 (16)

This one has black roofs though. Also includes an orange pumpkin. The lights are on the ground.

16. Linus sits to wait for the Great Pumpkin.

bac3a59962cf2e6b706741677b28c21b

This one has holes for stars while Snoopy sleeps on top in his WWI flying ace outfit. Seems to promote an orthodontics office.

17. This Cinderella pumpkin is quite 18th century.

Cinderella252520252520252526252520the252520Ugly252520Stepsister252520Soiree252520080-001_thumb-1

This is made out of cut outs. Let’s hope they’re not in France since we know what happened there.

The Creepy, Crawly World of Scary Halloween Craft Projects (Fifth Edition)

7e2a5fe2acf2b4c9c84e836e38653570

During October, it’s not unusual for people to make their homes into a haunted house. Fortunately,  plenty of retail stores have been willing to oblige since September. There’s even a store called Spirit Halloween, which is having its biggest season right now. After all, Halloween is a major cash cow holiday since it has so many fans. After all, unlike a lot of big holidays,you don’t have any obligation to spend Halloween with your family. Unless your children require adult supervision. Anyway, while most people prefer to buy their Halloween decorations, others may make their own. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of spooky Halloween crafts. Enjoy.

88fb9e654e041bc2fd2172406bbeb061

62. This guy’s torch comes solar powered.

908be9e74cfc840aaa4f69a000dbd524

I’m sure this little guy’s light is scarier at night. But at least his methods are sustainable.

63. Sometimes a wine bottle is all you need.

0914d8c35fcb17468999a45fa47cff4e

This person took a green one and made a witch out of it. And they only had to paint the top green for the hat.

64. Nobody can resist a witch in a candy dress.

She’s even green with red hair. Though she’s more cute than scary.

65. Want some spiders on your china?

3240ae119a4a98cc86ac3560c04eff04

Then again, maybe the bushes have eyes. Or someone just stuck eyes on them.

67. This house really has a severe rat problem.

af11c60068996e2789a88aca50ba3d1c

Is this supposed to be a dog? Then again, you can’t tell by just the skeleton. Unless you’re a zoologist.

89. If you need some grease, this happy jack is all you need.

afdd7f3518c341fce1595a536d0736d1

It’s just an oil can with a jack-o’-lantern. But I don’t think it contains real oil.

90. How about a hay ride in your haunted home?

b0c4b82f78a690ffd45c5821ce8071b5

This is a little scene with gourds and little hay bales. Even has a little black cat.

91. You’ll find plenty of crows on this centerpiece.

b01f0177437df4988a51c776b6b4a031

They’re on top of a glass and black flowers. There’s even a haunted house inside.

92. Stash your poisons in this potion box.

b35ec992e01e07e520f3735e654d63bf

It’s just a craft box. Though I love how they painted it.

93. That witch should watch out for that Halloween tree.

b82e27fd4035bcc96a4567d9a783b38d

Well, she went in head first. Though the tree is quite dazzling.

94. You’ll find the snakes under the rug.

b60048803b3fd56f5ca2b623c95edf15

Relax, they’re just plastic. But tell that to Dr. Henry “Indiana” Jones Jr.

95. Care to use a potion tray?

c8a8c365f16f4b2de1000d84174c3c00

What’s in these bottles almost seems all too real. Yet, please don’t eat any of the contents.

96. This gate must be a prime crow hangout spot.

c9d87a2dbcf623a2d0175261b47df181

Okay, these are fake. But it certainly gives you a chill up your spine.

97. A candy corn bouquet might suit your tastes.

c73dd5d4429b34d7c2d6d4d5c856ddb3

Includes 2 crows. While most of the foliage looks quite dead.

98. Perhaps a haunted birdcage for your raven will be to your liking.

c97dac629274973a0f09d07dda6b2f54

This one is made out of metal and includes lights. Also, the bird is fake. Not sure if it says, “Nevermore.”

99. These skeletons can really use a hand.

ca295ec7e019e0f8b026e0455d123ad8

They don’t seem to have the proper equipment to climb the roof. So they help each other to varying degrees of success.

100. This witchy wreath should have some flowers.

d6bde07159988eb0b2ff6c2d0e7f8634

Includes witch boots and hat. Not to mention, might contain a pumpkin or two.

The Wonderful World of Vintage Postcards (Eighth Edition)

a1d856c5c4afe4d863ba46f12a42a64e

Though I usually do postcards before this time, I had some things going on for me during the summer that I didn’t do a lot of blog posts recently. Anyway, this October, my family and I plan on going to Charlotte to see my sister who lives there. We plan to stay for a weekend during the middle of the month. So perhaps I might want to get some old vintage postcards. No, not the ones you normally. More along the lines of those that come across as tacky, insane, weird, or laughably bad. Since we can all use a laugh now and then. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of terrible old timey postcards. Enjoy.

  1. Need to do a bit of landscaping?
tumblr_l5anrxja4C1qbyf2j

Cause you need the proper lawn implements and extension cord. Doesn’t hurt to do it in Bermuda shorts and flats.

2. Jane Irwill is designed to be lived in.

tumblr_lgdx9ry9qb1qbyf2jo1_1280

Jane enjoys singing on the mic. Kim wishes she’d stop and so she can steal the song from under her.

3. Want to advertise? Picture your product here.

tumblr_l5zuwq30721qbyf2j

Of course, they have to put a woman in a swimsuit for extra sex appeal. So I guess the product advertised here is the air mattress.

4. You can always enjoy going to the laundromat.

tumblr_l8ekfaGoMz1qbyf2j

Because you can’t necessarily afford a brand new washer and dryer. Hope you have plenty of coins and patience.

5. Nothing makes your day like wearing a colorful hat.

tumblr_l8ntdj96Yv1qbyf2j

But Susie thinks she looks like an idiot in hers. She wouldn’t even want to be caught dead wearing it at a Jimmy Buffett concert.

6. “Want to see my matching Wrap-Sak?”

tumblr_l8ucv9XS961qbyf2j

She’s talking about the robe. But it comes with a matching head towel to dry one’s hair. Still, despite having perfect hair, she doesn’t seem to like brushing it.

7. You’ll find these shakers easy to use.

tumblr_ln38exwmFB1qbyf2jo1_1280

Since they contain plastic lids you can easily open and close. Available in 4 different colors.

8. Take a look at these giant airplane controls.

tumblr_l9dqh0JzuF1qbyf2j

I don’t think these work by the way. But these women seem unusually impressed.

9. Anyone can look sexy in a long fur coat.

tumblr_l9l4jh9v361qbyf2j.jpg

Though we in the 21st century don’t really think so unless you’re living in a polar region. Still, the background is atrocious.

10. “Look, Mommy, I can vacuum all by myself.”

tumblr_l9rusoKxyr1qbyf2j

Of course, you’d never see me with my mom like that. Because I loathe vacuum cleaners. More like huddling in the corner with my ears covered.

11. “At Heinz we have more than 57 varieties around the world.”

tumblr_l47sdpolLU1qbyf2j

Though the world to them seems shaped like a giant football. Someone must’ve really messed up here.

12. “I just love painting my boat.”

tumblr_l48m2hLMjl1qbyf2j

Seriously, I don’t think people like painting anything. Nor do I think a swimsuit and sailor hat are proper painting attire.

13. R & R toys make them in all sizes.

tumblr_lhs38oSfzx1qbyf2jo1_1280

That penguin is way too big for that little girl. But she’s thrilled to have it just the same.

14. Slow down for the Tallahassee Safety Patrol.

tumblr_l90q5q9k3C1qbyf2j

So they stare at a wall in long rain coats. You can see they have a token female by looking at their legs.

15. Care for a duck lamp?

tumblr_l631zlGzEs1qbyf2j

Basically depicts a desert rock formation and two male mallard ducks flying. Wonder if anyone thinks they’re a couple. Then again, they could just be good friends.

16. With a propane grill, you can be the most talked about host in the neighborhood.

tumblr_l891jvV7Fj1qbyf2j

Maybe in the 1960s this guy might have some pride in his grill. However, I’ve seen way bigger and crazier grills than that at Home Depot.

17. There’s always room for a hairdryer.

tumblr_lopn4iLoLM1qbyf2jo1_1280

Though I don’t think this hairdryer is at all portable. Because I could hold one in my hand.

18. Get women’s attention with a Hollywood Wolf Whistle.

tumblr_lakblvEPe51qbyf2j

Guess it’s a horn you put on your car. Though I’m not sure if women will go for it.

19. Care for a fancy piggy bank?

tumblr_lawkkvkB7q1qbyf2j

Sure these porcelain piggy banks may be pricey and fancy. But they’ll keep your money safe by scaring the hell out of potential robbers.

20. Is your car seats falling apart. Get Shadburn’s Auto Upholstery?

tumblr_lb7nskPOv91qbyf2j

This ad was probably made on a budget. Also, the woman looks more disgusted than anything.

21. 4 Track storm windows will always protect your house.

tumblr_lbn9mvUuHP1qbyf2j

Presented by a woman who’s not wearing pants. So the viewer can see her legs in high heels and pantyhose.

22. Commemorate your baby’s first shoes by casting them in bronze.

tumblr_lbsx1kkgXG1qbyf2j

You can sue them as bookends, on picture frames, or on wall displays. Seriously, why would anyone do this?

23. Get the World’s Largest Match Book.

tumblr_lbuxd154pg1qbyf2j

From BAD POSTCARDS: “The name “Dick Sampson” is printed at the bottom right corner making it seem like this gal’s name is Dick. Why the Hawaiian-themed outfit? What’s with that hat/strainer thing? How many matches are in each World’s Largest Match Book? So many questions.”

24. These cushions will make your home a palace.

tumblr_lc7l6zhfUE1qbyf2j

Maybe a harem considering how the woman’s dressed. And she doesn’t seem too happy wearing her skimpy purple outfit.

25. No one can have enough pillows on the couch.

tumblr_leojgmxs9q1qbyf2jo1_1280

But Pauline has so many that she can only lie on her couch in this position. Still, they bring a lot of color on a dull gray couch.

26. Any kid would love these fuzz covered plastic creatures.

tumblr_lf8pl1LlAN1qbyf2jo1_1280

Maybe the dog in the middle. But the pig and bear seem quite terrifying to me.

27. Display your reports with Rediform.

tumblr_lfa23j4Qq71qbyf2jo1_1280

Who knew business can produce so much happiness? Probably someone who enjoys doing memos. Still, why does Miss Rediform even exist?

28. At Hewlett Packard, we have all kinds of machines.

tumblr_lhs2pcTBHr1qbyf2jo1_1280

Though this woman in her lab coat has little idea on how many of these machines work. Since they require all kinds of gears and screws.

29. Any man looks sharp in a gray suit.

tumblr_lhvdamJWNI1qbyf2jo1_1280

Even Trevor the neighborhood psycho killer. Any young woman dating him on any given night is never seen again since.

30. Kids are always proud to stand in their long raincoats.

tumblr_lkn8umQyaH1qbyf2jo1_1280

For these boys like to show off all the different colors. Though a few of them look like they’re dressed in trash bags.

31. Have a pen stand that’ll suit your tastes.

tumblr_lkwp8u9ruq1qbyf2jo1_1280

Available in 2 big varieties. One is what can resemble your kid’s art project at school. The other are nightmarish depictions of cartoon characters that can scar you for life.

32. A water softener is a girl’s best friend.

tumblr_lo1m8fXgyl1qbyf2jo1_r2_1280

I don’t think most little girls would say that. Since most of them don’t know what the hell a water softener is.

33. Breathing problems? Have this Monaghan Life Saver on you.

tumblr_lsq1qzQrbj1qbyf2jo1_1280

This looks like a something you’d attach to a respirator. Wonder if you should just go with an inhaler instead.

34. Christmas is always a time for cheer.

tumblr_lw95fqXP441qbyf2jo1_1280

From BAD POSTCARDS: “‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS AND THE WEIGHT OF SANTA’S CARCASS ON THE ROOF TOTALLY CRUSHED OUR HOUSE.”

35. Take a slice of Ohio Swiss cheese?

tumblr_lwgnv305uB1qbyf2jo1_1280

The cheese looks like plastic to me. But at least it comes with saltines.

36. Hey, look, twins.

tumblr_lwuoatIeCO1qbyf2jo1_1280

Caption: “A NATIVE ALASKAN DARLING dressed in fur parka, trimmed with white fox and her best friend, a Semoyian Puppy.” Still, I don’t buy the girl being an Alaskan native due to her blue eyes, blond hair, and white skin.

37. Keep your lawn maintained with a red riding mower.

tumblr_lyqoesNQ5m1qbyf2jo1_1280

Don’t look now. But Barry’s waving to Myrtle and her son Jack. Little does Jack knows what’s really going on between Barry and his mom.

38. Perhaps you might want something from Australia.

tumblr_m1pbjiL3Se1qbyf2jo1_1280

Most of these are stuffed animals. Yet, you’ll find a boomerang and a hat to wear in the Outback. Still, where’s the diggery-doo?

39. Store your ingredients in these Tupperware canisters.

tumblr_m2f8ezvywA1qbyf2jo1_1280

Great for hiding the weed in. But don’t let anyone know that or they’ll call the cops.

40. Any girl would delight in these “Mama” dolls.

tumblr_m3vkxkMTeN1qbyf2jo1_1280

On second thought, unless you want to traumatize a little girl in your life, I advise against giving her one of these. Seriously, they’re straight from the realm of nightmares.

41. A straw hat should always have flowers on them.

tumblr_m5opw1JS5I1qbyf2jo1_1280

Yet, none should don a disembodied woman’s head. Because that’s just disturbing. Available in multiple colors and styles.

42. Water your plants with this KWH mistblower.

tumblr_m7d24ahuef1qbyf2jo1_1280

It’s so safe your kids can use it and look like they’re vanquishing their enemies with space age weapons. Said to have deep penetration, steady output.

43. Got a boring house? Just add awnings.

tumblr_m7zay2mGOj1qbyf2jo1_1280

Actually, the awnings really don’t do anything. Home still looks quite dull. Maybe it needs a paint job.

44. Your lawn can look like this.

tumblr_m8wgbyLBeo1qbyf2jo1_1280

Just add a lawn sprinkler and mow it regularly during the warmer months. Well, as long as you live in California. If you live where I do, it’s not necessary. Also, you won’t have palm trees.

45. Reach for the moon.

tumblr_m9zks3BVKp1qbyf2jo1_1280

So they were raising money just so three guys can go to the moon? Just save steadily here, I guess. Seriously, this makes no sense.

46. Any little one would enjoy riding a large polka-dotted horse.

tumblr_manllpCutl1qbyf2jo1_1280

Though the toy horse kind of looks kind of terrifying. Like the purple swan, though.

47. You can’t go boating without a portable minifridge.

tumblr_mbbnb4snXB1qbyf2jo1_1280

Even to today’s minifridges, this is extravagant. Even includes a freezer.

48. Simple Simon goes near the barbs.

tumblr_mbqhqpiOZP1qbyf2jo1_1280

From BAD POSTCARDS: “Picking your nose is especially grand/When you have a pipe cleaner for a hand.”

49. “Seeing things in Linden, Tenn.”

tumblr_mcav04tOSg1qbyf2jo1_1280

They’re basically going with “our town sucks so here are some pictures of cute animals.” At least that’s how I see it.

50. Perhaps you’d like a modern minibar.

tumblr_mcekw1nMlb1qbyf2jo1_1280

It’s basically a desk for alcoholics. Includes a cocktail shaker and shot glasses.

51. Everyone can use some paper towels.

tumblr_mcelz1yccC1qbyf2jo1_1280

I’ve seen those paper towel dispensers at school. Let’s just say I don’t have nice things to say about them.

52. Dualette Sylvania is the big-screen TV that simply moves with you.

tumblr_mcgcpvuZqh1qbyf2jo1_1280

From BAD POSTCARDS: “Carries his portable tube to upscale events. Sexy.”

53. The Tit twins will always boost your business.

tumblr_mcimyfgELc1qbyf2jo1_1280

BAD POSTCARDS comment: “Amazing. I wanna see one go up in flames when the motor grease drips onto the controller and an overloaded circuit sparks a fire. And it would still be moving .”

54. Greetings from Kansas.

tumblr_mciwgm0OyV1qbyf2jo1_1280

Don’t worry about the coyote at the fence. It’s taxidermy so it won’t hurt you, But it will haunt your dreams.

55. Thin mints or merry mints?

tumblr_mctcynWgNr1qbyf2jo1_1280

The merry mints come in all kinds of colors. Though I’ll just stick to the thin mints, especially the Girl Scout variety.

56. Nobody could resist a baby doll like this.

tumblr_mekg4nO0711qbyf2jo1_1280

For the love of God, kill it with fire. Since I guarantee it’ll haunt your dreams.

57. “Portraits become precious beyond price.”

tumblr_mh712cD6xe1qbyf2jo1_1280

Here little Emily marvels at all the people she’s killed while she maniacally laughs. It’s a sight of horror that knows no bounds.

58. Someone wants to paint the house today.

tumblr_mit7gc3eZ71qbyf2jo1_1280

But letting a dog help isn’t really a good idea. Still, hope they don’t mistake the paw prints for something more sinister.

59. Perry’s Nuthouse offers free Maine Bear hugs.

tumblr_mvdwb1wYTf1qbyf2jo1_540

Don’t worry the bear here’s made from wood. A real black bear would simply maul you and leave you for dead.

60. This dog is out on the town.

tumblr_mhhxjfUY6w1qbyf2jo1_1280

Though the dog’s expression doesn’t match the saying on the post card. Still, like the lamp posts.

61. Perhaps you might want to stay in a hotel room like this.

tumblr_n0zrggEVSv1qbyf2jo1_1280

Man, that’s really tacky. The pink isn’t bad but the wallpaper is just frightful.

62. “I trust Duraclean for my rugs.”

tumblr_np8svqk6YE1qbyf2jo1_540

From BAD POSTCARDS comment: “I cherish my French heirloom carpets so much I don’t even let anybody walk on them! ;)”

63. Anyone in the mood for water ski?

tumblr_owzq642Uws1qbyf2jo1_1280

By the way, this postcard is from Wisconsin. Yes, Wisconsin. Don’t ask me why.

64. Arachnaphobes, abandon hope all ye enter here.

tumblr_oyovl1K1QO1qbyf2jo1_1280

Because people will be freaked out by a giant spider. This is from an Arizona amusement park.

65. Fall is thrashing time.

tumblr_p09jwbLEo81qbyf2jo1_1280

Meaning that it’s time to harvest the hay and put them in bales. Still, the scenery doesn’t really excite me.

66. Wonder why nobody’s visiting this campground.

tumblr_p09jz2s2zl1qbyf2jo1_1280

Maybe because there’s a skunk lurking around. Though it only sprays when threatened.

67. This guy better wake up before that pheasant runs away.

tumblr_p020mbx2BE1qbyf2jo1_1280

Because birds don’t stay around forever. Still, not sure if he can shoot well with a bow and arrow.

68. Feel free to sit on the world’s largest chair.

tumblr_p021i8DYWY1qbyf2jo1_1280

I’m sure nobody could really sit on it. Still, it’s a great way for this town to attract tourists.

69. Don’t feel bad. Things could be worse.

untitled.png

Not sure about having dogs in jail though. Also, are they supposed to be in Mexico?

70. Sometimes you have to let yourself go.

untitled1

Though this just overdoes it. Her bra’s even showing from her falling dress.

The Wonderful World of Scarecrows (Fifth Edition)

untitled2

Sorry that I haven’t done any new posts for three weeks. Since I’ve been working on a project that took me about four weeks to complete. Anyway, given that fall’s coming up, you’re bound to see scarecrows everywhere. After all, fall is usually a time of harvest. Despite that critters can get into the crops all year long. Still, scarecrows were originally erected to scare them off at a time when most pesticides didn’t exist.  Nonetheless, they’re usually made out of straw, wooden stakes, and old clothes. Yet, many communities can also hold scarecrow contests showing all the unique straw figures out there. So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of unique scarecrows. Enjoy.

  1. These scarecrows will check your speed.
_102688221_capture11

Don’t worry, you’re good. But if you go like a race car driver, they will mark you down and give you a ticket.

2. Don’t mind these three old men.

0a3dc153c9b7ec3e746250aa5014fddd

They’re just hanging around in their suits. A couple even read the paper.

3. It’s always fun and games with the Cat in the Hat.

0bf4389e7682f7156f59ca17fe13427b

Though don’t see the Mike Myers adaptation. Still, this is a fair rendition for a scarecrow festival. Sure will make Dr. Seuss proud.

4.  The giant crow’s got the last laugh.

1revenge1-web

You can see this crow’s made out of trash bags. And yes, I think it could scare off any critters. Since it’s a giant freaking bird.

5. This scary scarecrow has a sensitive side.

2e2d263c56ba99d31062047c331f0e03

Sure, he might kill a bunch of misbehaving teenagers on a dark night. But he likes hanging out with the birds.

6. You won’t get anywhere rowing on dry land.

5aabaf2a10d5cf83e4a0cb449fd70775

Well, they’re supposed to be fishing. Still, like their boat name Crow-2.

7. These old folks get by on wheelbarrow.

6c43485146ef13fc87973abc3803bcf0

Since they’re homeless and their car’s been repossessed. Still, these are delightful.

8. Bet you’ve never met the scarecrow Boy Who Lived.

10-19-2017-6-36-36-AM-5534722

I’ve put a Harry Potter scarecrow before. Yet, this one at least gives him darker hair.

9.  They’re off to see the wizard. The wonderful Wizard of Oz.

54bda1a30953509272358d0ebfa69493

Wizard of Oz seems to be a common motif in scarecrow festivals. Maybe it’s the Scarecrow. This display includes the Wicked Witch of the West though.

10. Uncle Sam does it the American way.

59d55bee79b52.image

Yet, he somehow decided to shave before getting atop of his high horse. Still, please don’t mention anything about Cheeto Fascist.

11. This scarecrow is practically perfect in every way.

4-Renee-Simon

Since she’s Mary Poppins, y’all. And I don’t mean Yondo from Guardians of the Galaxy either.

12. Curious George always drives the Man in the Yellow Hat crazy.

59e3f70cd0282.image

Since he’s a curious little monkey who shouldn’t be kept as a pet. No wonder he starts a lot of trouble.

13. This scarecrow girl has a green thumb.

074e20f0eb0ca59e7bc93ec586f7225a

She always loves to water her plants. Yet, fall is when these flowers usually wither and die.

14. This guy’s all ready to rake.

403ef0cd2941e5190f752ca9a92f8186

Though raking is always a chore. But that doesn’t stop him from being excited about it.

15. He’s all prepared for the wharf.

562eb7bbd804e.image

After all, he wears his raincoat and galoshes. So he’s all set for the fishing boat.

16. Behold, the mad tangerine commissar himself.

1024px-Chillerton_&_Gatcombe_Scarecrow_Festival_2017_27

Here he stands on a podium to spew some disparaging remarks about protestors, minorities, the news media, the law enforcement agencies investigating him, political enemies, and immigrants. The Cheeto-Fascist wreaks devastation onto America he certainly won’t make great again. Because he’s a sociopath.

17. “Help me, Obi Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.

2017_scarecrows_02

Funny how they use an old vacuum cleaner as R2-D2. Though I think he’s supposed to be bigger. Like enough for a dwarf to fit inside him.

18. Wonder Woman always knows how to summon her Lasso of Truth.

2017_scarecrows_08

Here she stands with her butterfly mask. Wait, I don’t remember her wearing such a thing.

19.  Hope you don’t mind her hanging under the sea.

2019-001-small_1

Yes, that’s supposed to be Ariel from The Little Mermaid. Her fish tail’s made from a formal dress and a cardboard fin.

20. This guy’s on an Hawaiian excursion.

7468e6c15d87d6667808ba40f1ff74e0

He wears a Hawaiian shirt under his coveralls. The palm tree’s even made from an air pipe and party leaves.

21. Have you tried apple boarding?

080917-100-1-710x534

Like boarding over a box of apples like this guy. Yeah, you’ve probably never heard of it before.

22. Now here’s a real straw dog.

87050a4e232296e0f0be5bccd94a0453

Well, it’s covered in burlap. But the straw’s inside. Still, better not throw a bone at it.

23. You’d call this scarecrow a real jack in the box.

20170915_134323-thumb600x450

He’s between corn and sunflowers. Has nothing to do with the restaurant, however.

24. You’d think this lady was crazy about her cats.

20180917-101605-1

Yes, they have crazy cat lady scarecrows, too. The cats seem to be plush though.

25. This chef juggles so many ingredients.

20181026-122230_orig

You wonder why none of them end up dropping. Oh, wait, they’re made of felt and glued onto cardboard.

26. You’ll never know where he is.

42619367_1883038711765945_6527847430854017024_o-768x1024

Well, I have put up a Waldo scarecrow before. Yet, this one comes with a walking stick and solar powered binoculars.

27. This frog loves to hang out near the pond.

201693202.jpg.gallery

He’s a frog prince who will find your ball if you drop it in a well. So if you kiss or have sex with him, he’ll turn human again.

28. This scarecrow’s here to fix your power.

211704470.jpg.gallery

He knows how to connect the circuits. Though if he gets an electric shock, he burns.

29. These American farmers are just like apple pie.

7953148162b2ee215412bfc2a2306e64

Yes, it’s another rendition of American Gothic. Yet, these two don’t have pumpkin heads. There’s also a cow.

30. Seems like you’re in a Mexican restaurant in November.

1535124583128

The three mariachis wear Dia de los Muertos masks. The waiter presents a bottle of tequila.

31. You might want to stay way from this large crow.

abdfd480f0c490697dca3030542a69b5

Yes, this crow is huge and scary. So it’ll naturally make a great Halloween decoration.

32. Feel free to go for a ride?

ac8cd202a0e8060eaf98ebc16f58d13c

This scarecrow rides on a bike. Though I’m not sure if he’s Tour de France material.

Gather Round All Ye Lords and Ladies to Marvel at These Magnificent Costumes of the Ye Olde Renaissance Festival (Fifth Edition)

20130831_240

Around my area during weekends in late August and September, the Greater Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival is in town. While touted as a medieval fair with music, feasting, lavish costumes, and entertainment, you might end up losing a ton of your money by the end of the day. And while the jousts may look cool, keep in mind that real jousting in that era can lead to fatalities and serious injuries. After all, King Henry VIII nearly died in a jousting accident that screwed him up for the rest of his life. Whereas a French king was literally killed in one. Nonetheless, given the mishmash outfits, the Renaissance Festival has been a place for many to cosplay. Some dress as fantasy characters from Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. Some dress in historic costume ranging from medieval to Three Musketeers. While some just put on whatever they want. Since the Renaissance Festival doesn’t care what you wear, as long as you pay.  So for your reading pleasure, I give you another assortment of lavish Renaissance Festival costumes. Enjoy.

  1. Perhaps you might want a more flowing gown.
01b7532572864ac1388a3b70b0ae10d4

Hey, at least you don’t have to wear a corset. Those things can be very tight.

2. A Khal must always have his khaleesi by his side.

1fLoh8z

Which he bought from her brother so he can get an army to storm into Westeros with. He also raped her on their wedding night. But at least he’s played by Aquaman in the show.

3. You may want to dress in purple as a peasant.

2edd579a0685b1104afd04bb0e51dc00

Note that this was highly illegal in Europe during the Renaissance. Since only royalty could wear purple at the time.

4. A fairy should always spread her wings.

059d07874144992d02674bee3496a1c1

This is especially true if she has vibrant butterfly wings. Also, her dress should match them.

5. Feel free to come as your favorite Disney princess.

079

Well, I guess that can work. Though if you come as Snow White, stay away from apples.

6. You’d be a fool to pass by this jester.

295c62ab9145df9de5a790c0fafd105c

To be fair, jesters only played the fool. However, it was one of the few jobs in the Renaissance era where you criticize your boss and get away with it.

7. A sleek black gown may suit you.

824d5dcadc3443f489832283f0c24b79

It’s made out of velvet and has silver shoulders. Just don’t trip on the skirt on your way out.

8. You’ll always stand out wearing bright colors.

920x920

Since nobles usually wear the large, lavish dresses. These women deck ones of green, blue, and pink. The guy wears red.

9. Black can be quite snazzy.

people-with-costumes

Sure they may be dressed for a funeral. But you have to love their hats.

10. These barbarians have come to party.

920x9202

They’re wearing fur, too. One guy doesn’t even wear a shirt. Because at Renaissance Festivals, it’s optional.

11. This big dead cow has room for 2.

1024_ren-fair

You can see how two people operate the cow. The thing might freak you out while passing by.

12. An ornate dress will certainly impress.

4168c727ceb75db2441a88635a71ce46

This black one includes jewels on the bodice. Like the crown and ruff.

13. A fall fairy has flowers on her wings.

9352e6f7de9f095d82a08c3926a6aeed

She also wears a long-nosed half mask. Also, the flowers aren’t real. But you probably knew that.

14. You’d have a hell of a time with these 2.

103118-Column-Joe

Since they come as demons. The guy even wears red armor and horns.

15. Mail can always protect.

409239_112414-ktrk-txrenfest-DSC_0093

Not sure in the woman’s case. Since it only covers her breasts. Talk about metal.

16. Apparently, Freya stops by.

409248_112414-ktrk-txrenfest-DSC_0032

I mean she’s dressed like a Viking. And her wings are really sensational. Still, you don’t want her to call on the Valkyrie.

17. Even fairies would like to have a good time.

20181108-202407-TacynRenaissanceSeamstress2

One wears green and fire. The other wears blue. But she carries her own mug.

18. Couples should always match in pattern.

ALL 0725 ren fes

Though these two even wear similar hats. However, their daughter just wears a normal outfit.

20. Looks like we have a dragon in our midst.

Or at least half of one. Let’s hope they don’t start any fires, shall we?

21. When you realize that your costume isn’t as pimptastic as you thought it would be.

3963723820_57d7a8e97c_b

Though he does wear a fancy black tunic with gold striped pantaloons and a feather hat. Not to mention he wears an awesome necklace, too.

22. Sometimes you have to tie it all up.

Her brown dress seems to be held together through lacing. Even on the skirt and sleeves.

25. You can catch sight of this druid.

26. Always take your sword with you.

This guy wears a plain brown tunic and pants. Though it won’t help him if the other guy wears armor.

27. These four beauties always go to the tavern together.

They wear fantastic hats in bright colors, too. They also go to the privies together when nature calls.

28. Guess we got a couple of mad hatters.

They seem to belong to the steampunk crowd. Though both wear top hats.

29. Even a lad must wear a fancy vest.

bv19620

This is a crocheted black vest with gold trim and buttons. But the boy doesn’t seem too happy about it.

30. A purple fairy doesn’t need a fancy skirt.

e80b22aab73a1d645a2bf0e53affada9--renaissance-fairy-renaissance-costume

Her skirt’s a patchwork. Yet, she wears a matching corset and wings nonetheless.

31. A plain gold trimmed dress will always do.

ebc721cd2cc14a41b17e8f3d899cf20e

This is made from velvet. And sure it’s not fancy. But it’s sure expensive.

32. A lady must always carry a bow and arrow.

ef42bcbc3350b7b0b1f1ba9c18082b35

Though some Ren fairs may have a weapons policy. Still, the bow is quite huge.

33. Aren’t these 2 guys a bit too old to be knights?

f2b3602a5f6928d18b54eca23fb4c484

Maybe not since knights were all adult ages. But they’re not in Crusader shape.

34. A lady must have a cape of fine furs.

f115c23080cfae4020115e67496a41e4

35. A Viking woman must always be modest.

fd9d67b9afd17a8151731755da3e0062

No horned helmets or boob armor for her. Just a long dress and a belt.

36. This purple fairy sits on a stump.

fdf431462062b37d806be5c098d9f4d2

Well, she’s wearing purple with green tights. Though her wings are rather transparent.

38. Wonder where this pairing came from.

IMG_1092_1506998988175_11291015_ver1.0

He’s a medieval knight. She’s an 18th century lady. But will love find a way?

39. Feel free to meet these Disney princesses.

IMG_2231-972x1024

There’s Mulan, Ariel, and Tiana. None of these lived during the Renaissance as far as Disney canon is concerned.

IMG_3412

Their outfits have gold trim and jewels. Yet, their hats are rather different.

41. Want to help a simple townsman?

49. This nun is here to make music.

Michigan-Renaissance-Festival-5040

Though she kind of makes blowing into her flute a habit. That the other nun can’t stand it anymore.

50. We seem to have a couple of fancy pirates.

Pirates

Seems like these two made their costumes from a rug. Yet, they seem to have a rather good time.

51. What the hell are these Puritans doing here?

puritans

After all, don’t they consider fun sinful? Seriously, these people don’t even celebrate Christmas.

52. Queen Liz celebrates a golden occasion.

RENAISSANCE4

Yet, since this is the 21st century, she can make it as comfortable as she’d like. Since historical accuracy isn’t a benchmark at Ren fairs.

56. The faun gets all the chicks.

He’s shirtless with horns and a fur bottom. Then again, James McAvoy’s Mr. Tummus was much better looking.

57. An elf girl should have a nice spring dress.

Because metal swords can actually kill people. Though it’s not nice being hit by one either.

60. She prefers an old swashbuckler.

Renaissance-Festival-0372.jpg

He even wears an old-fashioned mustache. You’d almost think him a musketeer.

texas-renaissance-festival-2013-11

She’s dressed like a gypsy. Yet, I wonder what sound she gets from that.

75. I don’t think they have the droids they’re looking for.

They’re all dressed like a trio of troubadours. Got to like their snazzy hats.

Not Licensed By the NCAA College Athletic Craft Projects (Fourth Edition)

craft-004.jpg

As with the NFL posts, I decided not to do a college athletic merchandise blog this year. After all, the more you do, the less crazy NCAA products you can find. Anyway, like most sports fans, while some prefer to buy overpriced gear of their favorite teams, others prefer to make their own. You can see such artistry at work with this March Madness bracket above. Yet, this mostly consists of construction paper, package tape, masking tape and string. Still, I used it since it’s something that doesn’t just reflect any one team. Anyway, for your reading pleasure I give you another assortment of college sport crafts. Most of these will be from NCAA Division I teams, naturally.

  1. This Christmas, decorate your house with one of these snowmen.
00d45a6cbea2649a1a165b479d09ecfc

One wooden snowman rolls tide for Alabama. The other is nuts for the Buckeyes.

2. Deck your Georgia Southern door with this decomesh wreath.

0a0f820d6aaacca3b8b7508100ec49d2

Well, it’s mostly a blue wreath with ribbons of white and gold. Has the team logo in the center.

3. Perhaps you might prefer a wreath like this from Texas Tech.

0cd405245ec86eb2ca3cf4c23982e404

This one has the “T” in red and black polka dots. Yet, the decomesh is in a rather beautiful pattern.

4. Are you someone from Arkansas who doesn’t like wreaths? This decoration is for you.

0e13dd5cd546989dcadd3c52de15fe27

This one says “Hogs” given that razorbacks are pigs you don’t want to run into. Actually you don’t want to get on any pig’s bad side.

5. A simple Washington University wreath will always do.

0f7035ccc388637e7bda1b068b6f238c

College Sports Fans Dressed in School Spirit Attire (Fourth Edition)

tumblr_mxaluzUs7N1rsg1e4o1_500

As with my NFL costume post, I decided not to use my own picture to open it this year since photo ops require considerable preparation beforehand. Anyway, while American football fans look forward to their favorite NFL team play, school will soon be in session. And this means college football season will soon begin. In many places in the US, you’ll find people who are more diehard over their college teams than those in the pros. Mostly because they either went to the college or the college in question is closer to where they live. You can see this prevalent in the South, particularly in places like Alabama, Arkansas, and Mississippi. Thus, you’ll probably find plenty of sports fans in ridiculous costumes. So for your reading pleasure I give you another assortment of them. Most of them will be from NCAA Div. I teams. Enjoy.
