I may be a bit prejudiced for thinking that the 1950's were a great time to be a kid at Halloween; and I am sure that everyone else thinks that their Halloweens as a child were just as great. Each year I hear that Halloween is only second to Christmas in retail sales; but it seems that there is less variety in special products available to celebrate this non-holiday than there were back in the 50's or 60's. You didn't have to go very far during October in the 50's to find special Halloween comics, TV shows, or decorations and knick-knacks. Now, those retails sales must come almost entirely from candy, costumes and beer alone.
