I was nosing around on Pinterest today and discovered loads of scans of old Halloween Catalogues, something I'm not sure we ever got this side of the pond, but I hope to discover if we ever did!
These catalogues are filled with lots of cool old costumes and wacky halloween props, so I thought I'd share some here for the nostalgia of those who could get these catalogues, and for the interest of those of us who just love seeing the old costumes and items from back in the day!

| First up, some Jack O' Lanterns from 1919 |
 |
| This is from Sears, 1928 |
 |
| Costumes from 1928 Loving the Felix costume! |
 |
| 1929 I would have loved the Cat Squawk and Witch Cry noisemakers from the above page! :D |
 |
| 1929 Can you still get crepe-paper decorations? I used to see loads of them at Halloween, but they seem to have fallen out of fashion... |
 |
| 1929 Check out that 'Dude' costume above...fancy! |
 |
| 1929 This is one of my favourite pages...who wouldn't want a mechanical paper cat! And look at the freakiness of some of those masks!! And check out the Lightning Wumpus!!! I want all of thes things!!!! |
 |
| 1929 Some pretty cool lanterns, but I'm more interested in the Halloween Fortune Wheel! Definitely something that sounds like perfect fodder for a horror story plot.... I found quite a few of these pages, so expect another catalogue post later in the month! :) |
