Hallmark "Midnight Serenade" 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, witches, and ghosts created for the display. These cats sat on a rickety-looking fence while other ornaments hung from cutout windows and doors.
