the haunted history of halloween

Historical research book

This book is a timeline on the history of Halloween, from it's origins as a harvest festival, to the billion dollar industry it is today. Using old found photos and a limited color palette, this book is both lovely to look at, and educational. 

editing style

I carefully found vintage Halloween photos and used these as the basis for the book. I worked with old photos to give the book a spooky and ancient effect. For editing, I kept most of the photos black and white, and used bits of orange for added color. For some of the photos, like this ghost one, I added in special effects to get a creepy "found photo" look.
