This is Hallowe'en - Images to Inspire!

Creepy illustrations are part and parcel of the Hallowe'en aesthetic, aren't they? Whether modern or vintage, they evoke both the fun, childlike joy of dressing up, and the darker side of the holiday. I love them!

Dusk in Autumn

Dusk in Autumn

Sara Teasdale
1884 –1933

The moon is like a scimitar,
A little silver scimitar,
A-drifting down the sky.
And near beside it is a star,
A timid twinkling golden star,
That watches likes an eye.

And thro’ the nursery window-pane
The witches have a fire again,
Just like the ones we make,—
And now I know they’re having tea,
I wish they’d give a cup to me,
With witches’ currant cake.

Lance Inkwell Halloween

I love that his drawing style hearkens back to the Ub Iwerks "Silly Symphony" days. So nostalgic and fanciful!
