Another early 20th Century Halloween postcard. Four pumpkin-headed hoodlums are causing mayhem. Imagine the pandemonium the next morning when all straight things will be out of kilter and people will be walking across forbidden grass.🙀
I did a post a few weeks ago about scarecrows being brought to life, but I couldn't find records of any other creatures of that time who had pumpkins as heads.🎃 Except possibly the Headless Horseman from Washington Irving's 1819 story, "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".
In that story, set in 1790, residents of Tarry Town, New York told of a ghost of a Hessian soldier who lost his head to a cannonball during the American Revolution. According to the legend, he haunted a little glen outside of town called Sleepy Hollow, where he rode in search of his head.
The story centers around a superstitious school teacher named Ichabod Crane who had recently moved to Sleepy Hollow. He competes with handsome local mischief-maker "Brom Bones" for the attention of Katrina Van Tassel, the daughter of a wealthy Dutch farmer.
A harvest party was held at the Van Tassel farm with most of the village in attendance. Stories of the headless horseman were told, and Brom added that he had raced the horseman one night through Sleepy Hollow, only to have the horseman vanish in a flash at a wooden bridge near a church.
After the party, Ichabod had to ride home alone through Sleepy Hollow. There in the dark, he met a silent rider. When Ichabod saw that he carried his head on his saddle instead of the customary place on his shoulders, he took off at full gallop with the headless horseman giving chase.🐎 Upon crossing the bridge, Ichabod looked back to see the horseman hurl the head towards him. It struck him, knocking him from his horse.
In the morning, Icahbod was gone. Only his borrowed horse, his trampled hat and a shattered pumpkin remained at the bridge.
With Ichabod gone, Brom married Katrina. The old Dutch wives said that Ichabod was taken away by supernatural means. Irving never said directly what happened to Ichabod, but he does say that Brom "was observed to look exceedingly knowing whenever the story of Ichabod was related."😉🤭🤫

Major props to @weirdcat1213 for pointing out the answer to a burning question that I’ve had (and I’ve seen seen others in the tag chat about) for some time: does Vash has his scars? We had been robbed of a visual when we saw his dorito-shaped shoulders in his turtleneck... or were we? Have we actually had the answer right under our noses for ages???
