For me, Halloween is about merriment mixed with a little bit of debauchery. But so many decorations these days seem to veer onto the page of gore and misery that for me a lot of modern decorations have lost their appeal. That’s why vintage Halloween seems so alluring. The characters are usually having a great time just being a little bit weird without having to torture anything. I found this really cute photo stream of Flickr of decorations from around the country that feature just that. Vintagy fun looks without chainsaws or exploding heads. Here are a few of my fav’s from the group.
