Halloween Stamps

Halloween is such a great holiday – why don’t they have Halloween postage stamps?  Actually, some countries have issued postage stamps commemorating Halloween.  Herewith, a few examples:

Belgium issued a booklet of ten self-adhesive stamps with two designs in 2004 to celebrate Halloween.

The first stamp shows a witch with a black cat, and bats flying in the background.

The second stamp in the 2004 Belgium set shows a jack-o-lantern.  Again, there are bats in the background.

France Halloween Stamp

2004 was also the year France issued this colorful Halloween stamp.  No black cat, but we do have a carved pumpkin, a witch flying on a broom, bats and a spider.  These stamps were printed in sheets of thirty.
