5) Dangling Halloween Clip Art Spider & Spiderweb.  This post has not one, but two great spider images! One is of a spider in the process of making a full spider web and the second is of a very detailed spider dangling from a thorny branch (above). The full spider even has hair on his legs!

6) Death’s Head Hawk Moth.  This moth’s name says it all. A creepy black and white Halloween Clip Art etching of a moth with an unusual pattern and what looks like a skull on its back.

7) Orange and Black Bugs.  Three vintage images of black and orange beetles are perfect for Halloween projects. I just love the unusual body shapes and patterns on these guys!

This full size printable would be perfect for some instant Halloween art, and the moths are perfect for decoupage projects!

 Vintage Crow and Raven Images

10) Serious Raven.  This antique natural history print of a raven looks very serious and angry. Another raven in the background is ready to eat a sheep, but from the look of our angry raven, his friend wasn’t sharing. This is a classic looking hunched over raven pose that can be used so many ways.

11) Stretching Blackbird.  This is the least serious or threatening image we have in this category! Taken from a children’s encyclopedia, this blackbird is standing on a branch, stretching with his neck to the sky.

12) Vintage Crow.  This highly detailed, hand colored 1859 natural history print is of a standing crow tucking one leg under himself.

13) Raven Eating a Worm.  This raven is leaning over eating a tasty snack. If you have image editing software, this raven could easily be  combined with other graphics like bones, and transformed to be eating an even more disgusting snack.

Antique Photos

15) Children in Costumes.  A black and white photo of a large group of children on a porch with their Halloween costumes on. It looks like Little Bo Peep and cowboys were popular costumes around this time!

16) Witchy Woman.  This woman is either very serious or very sour. Either way, she makes a great witchy woman for Halloween! You can pair this photo with a witch hat or other clip art to dress her up for the holiday.

17) Cranky Boy.  This little boy with glasses is all dressed up and ready for his professional photo shoot, but looks like he’d really rather be outside playing. He’s giving the camera an “are you done yet?” look.

Happy Halloween Images Pumpkins

20) Plump Pumpkin.  This plump pumpkin scrap looks to be from the 1950’s and is a view looking down (just like you came across it in the pumpkin patch).

21) Two Color Pumpkin.  This post includes two images of the same pumpkin is lying on its side, surrounded by vines and leaves. I’ve included a black and white version and an orange and white version. These two retro style images remind me a lot of linoleum block prints. These would be great for Thanksgiving projects as well!
