Holy shit!
I was over reading Branded in the 80s! and I think my life just took a turn for the better.
I've been internally bemoaning the fact that all of the Halloween decorations that are available totally suck and are now mere copies of Christmas decorations done up in black and orange.
I really missed the stuff I grew up with in the 70s and really wanted to find some of those exact decorations to put up.
Not for other people. But for me!
Well Smurfwreck posted a link to The Beistle Company that made a lot of the stuff I had as a kid and I really want to buy a ton of it for next year!
These are just totally what I think of when I think of Halloween!
Not Christmas trees with purple and orange lights with pumpkin ornaments!
Not black bat Christmas tree garland!
These are the real decorations of my youth!
I even remember the faintly musty smell when we would pull them out of the basement every year.
A few were ruined in 1976 or so due to some water in the basement and I always felt bad about that for some reason.
But now... I can have them again!
Thank you Smurfwreck! Thank you thank you thank you!
Those are awesome! I can't wait!
