Enjoy Vintage Halloween Collectibles!

The earliest Halloween decorations appeared around the turn of the 20th century. Halloween parties became popular in the United States during the Victorian times. Homes were decorated with pumpkins, cornstalks, vegetables etc. Many early decorations were imported from Germany.
