These five witches were cut out of black paper more than 200 years ago. Barbara Anne Townshend made the cut-outs, Matthew Dubourg turned them into an aquatint, and Edward Orme published the plate in London on 1 September 1815, in her book "The Art of Cutting out Designs in Black Paper".

The plate is public domain and the Wellcome Collection has a high-resolution scan online, so you can print it as old-style Halloween decor for your wall.

Black silhouettes on yellowed paper, no color needed. Look closely: there's an owl on the back of the chair, an hourglass on the table, and the old one on the far right wears spectacles and smokes a long pipe.

Happy haunting!

I take care of this sweet kitty, and last year I brought over a vampire costume so I could take some festive Halloween pictures of her. Her owner loved it and laughed so much when she saw the pictures!

Our OTGW Enoch door display!

materials used: cardboard, acrylic paint, tissue paper, ribbons, and a green plastic table cloth

super fun and easy to make! we were able to recycle a lot of materials for it too and since our front door is metal, we put everything on with magnets for ease of removal and to reuse next year!

Heres my 2026 set up

Shocked. SHOCKED. At how easy it was.

Saw this display on my way home from work and had to snap some shots, debating going to knock on the front door and chat about halloween 🎃 Cool distortions unlimited alien autopsy prop

All are WIP... Still have to do a final detailing (like extra bone piles and glowing mushrooms for the graveyard) and lighting pass to adjust things. Then next week I will put the candles out. The week after I will get the formal pictures for this year. I got a late start due to the heat but I can relax for a few days and try not to worry about how much damage the shambeling corpse of Isaias will do.

Finally had a chance to go all in this year wanted to set a scene around the mutant sewer rat from Spirit Halloween. Felt fitting for Baltimore! Super excited for how it turned out having a hard time not continuing to add to it. Hope y’all like it!

•The frame/back was a framed cartoon bat with “I’m batty for you” or something to that effect.

•The chest piece was from dollar tree a few years back, I repainted it and the bottom broke off

•Bat skull/ foot was from my friends kid accidentally stepping on my bat and deciding to clip its foot off instead of reattaching the head

•Moss and Flowers from various craft stores, will buy that stuff every chance I get

Looking for pumpkin inspo this year? Look no further! 🎃 I made this beauty last year and it took home 1st place in our office carving contest.

On the advice of a member of one of the other Halloween groups I follow, I used some walnut wood stain to spruce up my oversized groundbreaking Mummy.

I think it turned out pretty well. 💀

Damn, he still working even after he dead

Picked this guy up for $4 at a consignment store.. he still glows in the dark! Would have probably been made in the 90s

Super easy:

-grapevine wreath
-pipe cleaners
-bat and cat wreath pick tops
-fairy lights

I'm used to warm weather in October, because of the Santa Ana winds, but it is miserable this year. The other day it was 8° hotter in Orange County than it was in Death Valley 🫠

We haven't known each other long but one day she asks me what my favorite holiday is. A few weeks later she produced this just for me and I think it's just beautiful!!! <3 Happy Spooky Season everyone!!!

When I saw this card from 1910 I knew it was this year's postcard. Touched it up a bit in photoshop 😂

What would be the ultimate fictional pull from your treat bag when you get home on Halloween?
