This horror movie themed deck carries no date or publisher; a sticker identifies it, though, as distributed by “Oriental Trading Co.” It’s a standard 52-card deck, but the suits are cartoony versions of Frankenstein, Dracula, a mummy, and a witch. The unusual shape is dictated by the reverse, which shows a haunted house. For good measure, the box is also molded into this shape. What would Mary Shelley have thought of this?

She would be demanding royalties, I think.

i like the house.. very cheery “Victoriana” Adams Family-esqe…..strange shape though for the other side of the card. Maybe a coffin shape would have been better and the box could have an extra spider web to surprise and thrill during it’s first opening.
