Lovely Leila Hyams looks properly frightened by the Jack-O-Lantern and an incredible art deco statue of a cat in this posed still from MGM in the 1930s. Hyams may be best remembered for such eerie films as Freaks (1932) and Island of Lost Souls (1932) but she won my heart in Ruggles of Red Gap (1935).

That Bow picture--with the light from the jack-o-lantern reflecting on her face--is stunning. They really knew how to shoot photographs back then.
