Vintage Halloween Greeting Card with Witch, Cauldron & Children

With mouths agape in wide-eyed wonder, the two children gawk at a child-sized witch in a pointed hat stirring a bubbling cauldron—presumably moments before becoming the main ingredient. The smoke rising from the cauldron, the crescent moon lurking overhead, and the mysterious book sitting beside a small lantern on the floor suggest this is less 'party trick' and more 'binding ritual,' yet the greeting card industry apparently thought this was the perfect image to send your grandmother. The 'May your Halloween be thrilling!' text is doing a lot of heavy lifting to distract from the fact that at least one of these kids is definitely not making it home.
