19. Vintage Trick-or-Treat Safety Flashlights
Safety was a big talking point in the 1980s, leading to the creation of branded Halloween safety flashlights. These plastic flashlights were usually bright orange or yellow and featured removable plastic slip-on caps shaped like pumpkin faces, ghosts, or witch hats. When turned on, the flashlight would project the spooky shape onto the sidewalk ahead. When not in use on Halloween night, kids would keep them on their nightstands, using them as festive, comforting nightlights throughout the entire month of October.
