Halloween lovers, I’m going to warn you right now: Riptheskull’s Vintage Halloween Card Flickr Set can eat up a whole afternoon.
There are currently over 1600 cards in this set (yes, you read that right), covering many styles and subjects.
There are even (seemingly ambivalent) cannibal pumpkins.
Whether you want bizarre, beautiful, ridiculous, romantic or pure vintage WTF…this collection will have something for you.
Check out the set here.

Ambivalent cannibal pumpkins. My day is made.
Doesn’t he look like he’s about to sink his carved mouth into the ground up flesh of his brethren…but is having second thoughts about it?
Great! Just what I need!! I was only sitting down for a minute and you go and post something like this?? WTH! I have stuff to do… but the pictures… they’re pulling me in… ugh! Thanks! 😉
I’m sorry Colleen…I lost WAY too much time to this collection myself!
oooh, fun! sadly, I came too late to the vintage Halloween market; by the time I realized how awesome it was the prices were already sky high so I can’t afford any of it 😦
These postcards are wonderful! I love how many strange, STRANGE things they made way back when for Halloween.
Devicat, I can’t be a real “collector” due to the price of these artifacts either (ah, poor grad student life!). I still get such a kick out of viewing them though. I’ve managed to collect thousands of images in a kind of virtual museum on my hard drive. 🙂 Not the same…but better than nothing.
