Vintage 1940's / 1950's Halloween: CAT and WITCH PARTY GAME by Whitman

Although arguably the most commonly seen Halloween-themed game out there, I've long enjoyed the simple graphics and premise of the game. Made by Whitman Publishing of Racine, Wisconsin in prodigious quantities for about a seven year span beginning in the mid-1930s, it surfaces regularly for sale and typically brings near or slightly above the seller's opening price. If they had designed the game just a decade later, the witch surely would have looked much less fearsome.
