Vintage Beistle Halloween Decorations

As Part One of my do-all-the-Halloween-things mission I've been collecting pictures of vintage die-cut decorations from the Beistle company, because they are (obviously!) the best ever. They're all bright and simple and kind of weird, which I love. When I was little my dad used to buy those flimsy cardboard decorations and paint the design onto plywood to go in the front yard-- we had Dracula and a witch-- and I always thought it was such a good idea. This year I've decided to do a few of them for the deck because I've accidentally turned into Crazy Halloween Lady and I want the house to match my state of mind.

I'm almost done with the owl and next up is the monocle-cat (because everyone needs a fancy creepy cat in the yard). I wasn't planning on doing the pumpkins but I don't think I can resist those panicked/creeper expressions, and they would look really good nailed vertically to a post.

To summarize: Halloweenhalloweenhalloweenhalloweenhalloween--
