how do you guys keep finding this stuff lol
Last night 'twas witching Hallowe'en
Dearest; an apple russet- brown
I pared, and thrice above my crown
Whirled the long skin; they watched in keen;
I flung it far; they laughed and cried me shame
Dearest, there lay the letter of your name!

Yes I still have a lot of those.
And still love the old bugs Bunny cartoons that my Mom got on VHS.

Somehow I'm tempted to print them, cut them out, and paste them all over the wall. o.o
That vintage halloween stuff looks great!

We had all kinds of those vintage Halloween cardboard decorations, ad they were all thrown away when we moved to New Lenox.

Beistle makes reproductions of some of their classic cut-outs http://collectibles.about.com/gi/dynami ... design.com

I have the big winking owl, the go-go dancing witch and several others.

They're a hoot !

That is my Festivus guy!! I love him. I moved schools and left it in my last room. I wish I would have brought it with me. I miss him.

I found a site where you can buy some of those old decorations for pretty reasonable prices.

Thanks! There is one on YouTube that I just love too.
Witch Hazel!
It's called Bewitched Bunny. It's on the same page as the one you just posted.
I can't get the link to work for some reason.
