A few close-ups of some of the Halloween Cultural Preservation Museum displays that particularly spoke to me and frankly are just? Fantastic art? That I figure others might like to see for art inspo or just because they're cool?

"Totem pole" Halloween die-cuts, with art I've never seen and am now hopelessly in love with:

And a soft-bodied doll with a small vintage trick-or-treat bucket for a head?! I need to make one! Look at how cute this little guy is!!!

#🎃 cryptid sighting #Halloween #Misadventures around PDX #I own a few collector guides for vintage Halloween decorations so coming across some I've never seen was exciting!#Especially the Beistle totem pole pieces! I love the art style!#Nice thing is they were reproductions so it shouldn't require selling a kidney to buy a set #A lot of the fantastically weird & grotesque old Beistle die cuts have been reproduced (under the brand too!) in recent years-#- which makes me deliriously happy. The art was great but there's no way I could afford the originals #Nor do I trust that I could properly care for delicate vintage paper decorations even if I could #Also posting this separately from the first post to spare folks the white person jump-scare a second time :)#Eyestrain
