"When you hear the owls hooting,
Get your jack o' lantern out,
Put on your shroud and hurry,
For ghosts should be about."
Hallowe'en, or the more modern Halloween, is a truly magical holiday, full of tricks and treats, costumed revelers, spooky
"haunted" houses, and ghosts and witches and bats oh my! Over the years, many collectible
vintage
items were created, that today collectors are snapping up at antique stores and on
eBay and
Bonanza. The
nostalgia
of yesteryear that is associated with taking part in a Halloween parade, bobbing for apples,
and playing
fortune games is being rediscovered. Our passion for collecting Halloween memorabilia is in
many ways
more than just a rediscovery of childhood fun and games. It is a reaffirmation that whatever
fate the mirror
has in store for us, we can indulge in the festive spirit and frolic
that has engulfed this timeless
holiday, letting reality slip away for a time to be
rekindled another day.
With hundreds of items to suit your party needs, bedazzle yourself in the
Vintage Halloween Store and check out our 2011 party line.
Halloween has an intriguing history, with many diverse contributions to what has become our
modern day celebration. How did the jack o' lantern come about? What was the origin of
trick or treating? For the answers to these mysterious
ponderings and more, read about the interesting
symbols of Halloween and get some links to other websites with Halloween histories.

Halloween and find sources for research in Collecting.
