Halloween Night



Halloween Night was available through the Betty Crocker catalog 
in 2004 and 2005.  
One interesting aspect of Halloween Night is that the line had a number of variations of the decal used on different pieces. The decal used on the dinner, luncheon, pizza tray, oval platter, 19 oz bowl and chop plate covers almost the entire piece. It has a spooky house at its center with a large sunflower moon behind it. The background has a night sky and grass done in blues and greens. Outside the house is a graveyard with dancing skeletons. A black cat sits on the gatepost and a ghost is peeking out behind it. Tangerine jack o lanterns, a crow sitting in a bare tree and bats all around the edge finish it off. 
The gusto bowl and 2 qt serving bowl have dancing skeletons in the graveyard all around the outside of the bowl with black bats along the top of the decal. The mug has the black cat sitting in front of the sunflower moon and black bats along the top. The round candleholders have a black cat in front of the moon and the word Boo on it.
