Mid-Century vibes… The Vintage Halloween Deck is the first deck in the Vintage Holiday collection. Remember when your neighborhood was your kingdom? You always knew where the gang was because that’s where all the bicycles were parked. You could go anywhere, as long as you came home when the street lights came on.
But on Halloween, nightfall was when the day began, bed sheet ghosts, witches with pointy hats and brooms, hobos with cast off clothing, messy hair, smudged faces, and a knapsack on a stick over their shoulders.
Some kids planned their costumes for weeks, covering card board boxes with aluminum foil to become robots, and some moms sewed elaborate princess gowns for their beautiful girls, but the most common costumes of the day were from the Five and Dime, plastic mask with elastic string and eyeholes, breathing was optional.
Kids stayed out until nearly bedtime, covering as much ground as possible. When they got home they excitedly spilled their loot all over the floor, separated and traded with their siblings, and fell asleep dreaming of the day’s spooky events.
The Vintage Halloween Playing Cards was created to bring back the vibes of the atomic era, from the well dressed mom at the door, passing out candy from her iconic Pyrex bowl to the beautiful atomic star design on the back cards. This is a deck you’ll enjoy playing with for years to come.

A classic deck, with a traditional look but customized, and with a retro flavor that nostalgically reminds us of a different time (and better for many). This is what Collectable Playing Cards offers us in the BICYCLE VINTAGE HALLOWEEN.
Although Halloween is a universal celebration, enjoyed in many corners of the world, the United States has exported their tradition, acquired by Irish immigrants in the mid-19th century but popularized as we know it in the mid-20th century, to many other places.
The cinema and the globalization of commerce and marketing have made “trick or treat” something familiar not only in the United States, Canada or Japan but also in many other countries.
That feeling of the neighborhood gangs going around the houses in disguise to get sweets is engraved in our retina and inspires this deck with some traditional court cards and slightly customized pips and colors.
The Ace of Spades and jokers have been also drawn by hand. The back shows a colorful and symmetrical design of atomic stars. This Bicycle branded deck is the first in a series of four that will be followed by Vintage Christmas.
