Vintage Halloween print ads

Happy Halloween fellow adgrunts! I stumbled across this Halloween Ad Gallery featuring print ads with a Halloween theme throughout the past 60 years or so.

From the site:

Over the years, Halloween has brought me some of my fondest memories. Whether it was making a giant Pac-Man costume out of yellow foam insulation or having the living crap scared out of me as my grandfather had me convinced that there was a witch who was gonna "get me" if I went outside; it's all fun to look back on.

One of the things people tend to forget about, however, is all of the Halloween-themed ad campaigns that are unleashed upon us year after year. Well, I've done my best to compile a big collection of Halloween advertisements from the past 60 years or so.

Just goes to show you that every pumpkin idea ever has already been done.

Jane (I mean caffeinegoddess):

Thanks very much for this post.

My wife likes older print ads, and she likes Halloween very much as well. So this was a grand slam! (Especially after she explored the rest of his site - she is still enjoying it!).

Also, belatedly, big congratulations on your nuptials.

Thanks again, and L8r:
