The Deck

BOO!!

Here's one just for fun. A Halloween present to the Gallery from my wife, it's a deck meant to be given out as a favor at children's Halloween parties.

Printed on thin, uncoated stock, with square corners, this deck by Creative Expressions Group, Inc. is physically the kind of deck our forefathers would have printed - if our forefathers had been vampires, that is.

It doesn't look like it would hold up for very many hands of Old Maid, but, with its scary courts (which unfortunately repeat), and suits of jack o'lanterns, tombstones, spiders and bats, it's a fun little addition to the Gallery.

Where to Find the Deck

Check at party supply stores (and, in season, Halloween costume stores). The deck references a web site: www.ceg4party.com, but I find no mention of the deck on the site.

The Cards on Display

• The Queen of Bats - A Halloween Witch, in a rather cheerful mood.
  
• The King of Tombstones - A shy-looking Frankenstein's Monster.
  
• The Ace of Jack O'Lanterns - A wacky Jack O'Lantern
  
• The Jack of Spiders - Count Dracula (is his head shaped like a candy corn, or is it just my sweet tooth acting up?).
  
• The Joker - The Mummy
  
• The Card back - A collage of Halloween imagery, both scary and sugary.
