Hallmark "Stack-O'-Lanterns" Halloween Ornament, 2003
01
Artifact Overview
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.
