A Seasons Gone By design by Christopher James

There’s always that one kid on Halloween night who goes all out, and this trick-or-treater looks like they planned their grand entrance weeks ago. The Trick or Treat Child with Pull Toy from Seasons Gone By pairs classic Halloween playfulness with the unmistakable boldness of vintage Beistle artwork, brought to life in a 15-inch display designed by Christopher James.

This youngster is holding their head high while holding a festive stick topped with a wide-eyed, scaredy cat rosette. They are dressed in a bright red and black clown outfit and appear to be ready to tell a story about Halloween mayhem. On the opposite side is a jack-o'-lantern bucket that will undoubtedly be filled with candy before the evening is over.

But the real star of this show might just be the rolling companion trailing behind. A fierce orange cat bucket, teeth bared and eyes gleaming, sits proudly atop a set of bright orange wheels, festooned with layers of black and orange crepe. Whether it’s meant to collect candy or keep would-be spooks at bay is anyone’s guess, but one thing’s certain: it won’t be ignored.

Every detail here is pulled from vintage Halloween charm: the wide-eyed cat, the bold costume, the jaunty pull toy. The Beistle-inspired child and cat have been carefully applied to a solid board, creating a dimensional piece that stands beautifully on its own. No need for elaborate staging, this duo demands attention from the moment it’s placed.

Perfect for adding a playful pop to your Halloween décor, this display looks right at home on a mantel, a sideboard, or even perched near the candy bowl to greet trick-or-treaters with a grin. Whether you’re building a full vintage scene or just adding one standout piece, this little trick-or-treater and their trusty pull toy bring energy and nostalgia to the season, one wheel at a time.
