H is for Halloween - Intro.

I thought this year's 31st of October Posts were going to be a bit weak if not actually non-existent, but in the end I seem (with a fair bit of help over the last twelve months) to have ended-up with seven posts, of which this is probably the weakest, while the seven as a whole will suffice!

Black Cats; Cats; Cats On The Internet; Glow In The Dark; Glow In The Dark Animals; Glow-in-the-dark; Halloween Novelties; Halloween Novelty Toy; Halloween Toy Figures; Orange Cat; Sainsbury's 4 Glow Creatures; Sainsbury's Supermarket; Scaredy Cats; Small Scale World; smallscaleworld.blogspot.com; Snake; Spidier; Toy Bat; Toy Rat; Toy Snake; Toy Spider; Witches Cats; Witches Familiars'
A couple of witches familiars' or just scaredy-cats? Worth a thought though . . . fireworks frighten most domestic pets, heat the atmosphere and produce a mass of greenhouse gas. In India they are being severely curtailed, here Sainsbury's have decided not to sell them anymore, and while I like a firework as much as the next man, it's equally true people used to 'enjoy' going to a beheading on Saturday Morning . . . perhaps it's time we consigned Fireworks to the land of Bear Baiting and crucifixion?

On the left a finger-bob or rather loose pencil-top, on the right probably a novelty from a gum-ball capsule machine?

Another small novelty, possibly also a cracker-prize, but definitely in 'pumpkin-orange' and - despite the ball of wool - in possession of rather sinister eyes, I thought!

I haven't opened it as I believe it's got some age, possibly pre-90's as a minimum and may go back to the 1970's, it's not a graphic range I recognise as recent? You've got a bat and spider (rtaher wrapped-together) and a rat and snake, the snake being a pretty timeless design, all four in fluorescent plastic of a PVC type.

And thanks to anyone who sent the cats, Chris, Peter, Jim?!!
