Vintage Halloween Greeting Card with Dancing Demons & Jack-O-Lanterns

Across this greeting card spreads a procession of supernatural characters: a red devil leading the way with staff in hand, a witch shuffling behind with her black cat, and sentient jack-o'-lanterns mounted on poles grinning overhead—and then you notice the pear-gourd creature on the left wielding what appears to be a weapon. The Edwardian era apparently looked at this exact scene and thought 'yes, this is appropriate greeting card imagery.' The devil isn't presiding—he's actively *leading* this procession like a deranged tour guide for the damned, while the witch shuffles along unbothered, suggesting this is just a Tuesday for her. The floating pumpkin heads on sticks add a distinctly 'trophy collection' vibe that no amount of ornate card borders can normalize. Hallowe'en: America's holiday, where we apparently once mailed each other scenes of vegetable decapitation and celebrated it with an apostrophe.
