Yet More Vintage Halloween Ads

It seems like every year I wind up making at least one post devoted to vintage Halloween ads. I have to confess that I primarily use such posts as stopgap measure when I am working on posts that take several hours to complete. This year I two different movie posts that are taking a while to complete. Regardless, people do seem to like my vintage Halloween ad posts and I have to confess I enjoy them as well. Anyway, here are some more vintage ads for this year.

A lot of people think of Halloween as having become popular after World War II. This ad from Jello is proof that this is not the case. Halloween was well established in the United States in the early 20th Century. This ad is from the 1920s.

Quite naturally, people think of candy when they think of Halloween, but a number of products over the years have used the holiday in their advertising. This is a 1954 Coca-Cola ad.

Of course, candy has been advertised at Halloween for years. Here is an ad or M&Ms.

Yet more proof that Halloween wasn't exclusively thought of as a children's holiday, a 1952 ad for Schlitz beer. 

Halloween was still being used in ads for alcohol in the Eighties. Here is a 1982 ad for Ronirico Rum. 

Finally, this 1968 ad for Hunt's catsup is proof that Halloween can be used to advertise anything.
