When my wife Wendy and I went to New York years ago, we spent the night in our friend John's room which was stacked top to bottom with vintage Halloween collectibles.
It brought about the question, Why would anybody collect this stuff?
Apparently, it grew on us, because he gave us two pieces of Halloween crepe paper (yes, someone is saving crepe paper from 1942) which we framed and bring out each October.
Gene Gable at Creative Pro has a terrific article with a bevy of images from a bygone era and even an explanation of why kids go trick or treating.
Just in case you have to explain it to your French houseguest.
