Hallmark "Mesmerelda" Halloween Ornament, 2003
Add to SetSummary
Since the early 2000s, Hallmark has created ornaments to celebrate Halloween. In 2003, Hallmark produced a black-silhouetted house-shaped display called 1300 Old Oak Road. Halloween revelers used the dark--yet festive--decoration to exhibit ornaments of skeletons, pumpkins, ghosts, and bats, hanging them in the cutout windows and doors or other hooks. Mesmerelda appeared to float in front of the full moon.
