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

What strikes you immediately is one child clutching a giant jack-o'-lantern in front of her torso like she's auditioning for the role of 'pumpkin person' in the world's most unhinged elementary school play, while the gourd's deeply frowning carved face radiates the specific energy of someone who did not consent to this arrangement. Meanwhile, her companion — red bow in hair, red shoes, the full villain aesthetic — leans forward with pursed lips to blow out one of the several small candles arranged on the floor between them, which is either a birthday party ritual or the opening scene of a cult initiation. The card's cheerful 'May you have good luck on Hallow e'en' apostrophe-forward spelling suggests that whoever wrote this was aware something had already gone terribly wrong.
