Vintage Halloween Greeting Card with Anthropomorphic Pumpkins

There's something deeply unsettling about the unbridled cheerfulness radiating from these three anthropomorphic pumpkin creatures — with full gourd bodies, stubby limbs, and jack-o-lantern faces frozen in wide, teeth-baring grins — as they sit perched on a wooden fence like the world's most nightmarish family portrait. Two of them sport little hats as if costuming the nightmare might somehow help, with the large one in the center wearing what appears to be a jaunty feathered cap, apparently under the impression that millinery is the missing ingredient for becoming charming rather than deeply cursed. Below them, a black cat prowls past a bare, skeletal tree while a lone jack-o-lantern face peers out from the lower right corner of the moonlit scene, because apparently three grinning pumpkin-people wasn't quite enough horror for one postcard. The word 'Hallowe'en' is scripted across the bottom in elegant lettering, as if the Victorian artist understood that slapping pretty fonts on existential dread is how you class up the apocalypse.
