Halloween Retrospect V1
The Halloween Retrospect:
A new chapter here at The Sane Halloween Observer is ready!
If you slogged through the last entry (What Next?) you read the news that this blog will move toward support of recent project The Halloween Retrospect archive library, for subject matter that very much aligns with that already found here. In fact, not only did some blog content originate here to be expanded upon in print, there's most likely a tidbit or two in way of interesting facts, items, or images left out of print that will instead find there way here.

The author has finally ordered a small initiating batch from the printer, and these should go on sale during the shortening days of summer as we head into the 2023 fall season! Keep an eye on the THR website, particularly the Publications page, or to learn more about The Halloween Retrospect here's the About page. (Update: available now as of July 26th).
Cover art for The Halloween Retrospect, Volume 1 by Bindlegrim
THR, Volume 1 is happy to feature cover by Bindlegrim - (https://bindlegrim.blogspot.com/). But you'll see this creepy vision continued in some old -school extras - four bookmark-tallies seen below - that will accompany official copies of the book.
The book also comes with an 11"x17" fold out poster featuring a 1926 Halloween ad of products for young students. The book itself is a 9" x 6" publication, sized much like those old novelty catalogs, and is sure to have some good info for those into vintage Halloween collectibles, with a few color and black and white illustrations to break up all those words spread across 32 pages.
Here are some sneak peek images:
