The record
Tarot Card Trick or Treat is a fusion of Addams Family sensibilities melded with Nightmare Before Christmas via Casper the Friendly Ghost cutely macabre, without any real creepiness. This is a 22 card Major Arcana of original images, with many familiar Halloween tropes. The Fool is a flute playing pumpkin in the tradition of The Great Pumpkin from Charles Schultzs Peanuts cartoons. The High Priestess is a Gypsy fortune teller complete with crystal ball and tarot cards; The Empress is a widow with a watering can, sprinkling a gravestone. The Lovers are a bridal couple reaching for each other across a heart shaped gap. The Wheel of Fortune is a bit of a curiosity a hearse steered by the Grim Reaper, at a fork in the road, both paths apparently leading to a graveyard. Death is depicted as 13 pairs of eyes staring out of the darkness; The Devil is the witch in front of her gingerbread house; and The Tower is a standard haunted house complete with lightning flashing in the sky above, cracked windows, a cat on the roof, and pumpkin lanterns scattered across the lawn. Tarot Card Trick or Treat cards have no changes of name, and the cards follow the standard Waite ordering. The cards
