I have never read a Peanuts strip, seen a cartoon, or bought a book. Not because I don't like him, just never  got round to it. I did buysomeone a Snoopy  cuddly toy once.

Rationing during the war nearly ended trick or treating but...

 

When sugar rationing finally came to an end in June 1947, the commercialization of Halloween took off. Candy companies like Curtiss and Brach wasted no time in launching their Halloween advertising campaigns. But it wasn’t just candy companies that had stock in the reemergence of these festive celebrations. As early as fall 1947, the children’s magazines Jack and Jilland Children’s Activities both featured trick-or-treating in their October issues.

The iconic comic trip Peanuts joined in on the fun four years later when they ran three Halloween-themed strips from October 29 – October 31, 1951. Charles Schulz drew his iconic characters in ghost costumes, preparing for “Halloween ghosting.” Patty even used Charlie Brown as the model for her jack-o’-lantern carving. These comic strips helped spread the popularity of Halloween !!!

Sugar rationing lasted up until 1953 as regards sweets/candy in the UK

Yes and i might by a copy for the house i like it so much ....

Hockney's quite a character, and has done some interesting documentaries on the history of art. His own style is very crisp and quite clinical when doing interiors.(thumbsu

I made the mistake once of allowing my then 8 year old niece watch this when she pleaded and assured me she would not have nightmares. Guess what!?

It's a good film though, and I always like Milland's performances

Some promo advertising of the period.
