Vintage Halloween Greeting Card with Witches, Pumpkins & Children

There's a distinctly eerie vibe to this scene: two chubby, dead-eyed children in matching white smocks cling to each other on a path while a grinning jack-o-lantern lurks ominously at their feet — presumably having followed them from home like a very committed stalker. Above them, a smirking full moon watches approvingly as a witch on a broomstick and a black cat perch dramatically against the orange sky, flanked by bats who are clearly just there for the vibes. The poem, cleverly formatted as an acrostic spelling 'POW,' cheerfully announces that witches, cats, and pumpkins exist specifically to traumatize small children, which honestly tracks. The girl's yellow bow and the boy's little belt are doing a lot of heavy lifting in the 'don't worry, this is wholesome' department, and they are not succeeding.
