Vintage Halloween Greeting Card with Scarecrow and Jack-o'-Lantern

That impossible pose — perched on stilts like a Victorian nightmare in a top hat and tattered dark coat with a flash of orange underneath — is what you notice first, this scarecrow having the energy of a landlord who's also a warlock. The jack-o-lantern to his right grins with the unhinged confidence of someone who just found a loophole in the HOA rules. The card's cheerful cursive assures us that placing this particular eldritch clothespole outside will repel witches — which, honestly, feels less like folk magic and more like outsourcing your haunting to a worse haunting.
