Well written tracts in comic and non comic format on glossy paper and a large selection in a English, Spanish, and other languages including Portuguese, Chinese, Russian, Romanian, Japanese, and French. ATS has new cybertracts, which is an interactive CD-ROM. One looks like a comic book. ATS has evangelism, African American, discipleship, children's tracts, tip cards, marriage and family, sports evangelism, audio tracts, tract displays, and door hangers. ATS also has many of the Last Days Ministries tracts. American Tract Society has tracts for Halloween.
Halloween has become an international festival over the last 30 years. Although the day was marked in UK before that time, it has become much more popular recently, no doubt due to the influence of TV. Many Christian groups produce appropriate material to warn of the dangers. Paul Fleming, e-Solutions Manager for the American Tract Society writes, "I wanted to let you know about a new site that we have developed specifically for our Halloween Evangelism efforts. Since ATS generally puts out around 2 million tracts during this season of the year, we decided to develop this site in conjunction with our off-line literature."
Halloween Rescue Kit
American Tract Society provides a kit with all you need to share the Gospel with as many as 31 kids on Halloween night. The new Halloween Rescue Kit contains, 31 tracts, bags, 62 pieces of candy and stickers and a free copy of a helpful resource, "Reaching Kids at Halloween." Visit the ATS Web site for this offer and other holiday-related tracts designed to present Christ to your trick-or-treaters this Halloween.Halloween tract resources: http://atstracts.org/halloween/resources.html

Halloween's In The Air: Ghosts And Goblins From A Christian Perspective
The USA-celebrated Halloween holiday brings to the forefront the struggle between light and darkness, and the way Christians celebrate this holiday--or why they don't! Visit Christian History Institute to read "The Hijacking of Hallow's Eve." Then visit Peggie's Place (IFC's editor) to find many Christian-related links in "Halloween: A Christian Perspective." Be sure to also stop by Bethany House Publishers (BHP) for "The GhostWriter," a new Christian suspense novel. BHP comments, "'GhostWriter,' a compelling and uniquely crafted story, is Rene Gutteridge's first book, but with its breathless pacing and edge-of-your-seat suspense, it serves notice that she is an author to watch... a thought-provoking whodunit that keeps readers guessing to the final chapter." Enjoy these three Gospelcom alliance ministries' presentations--and walk into the Light!

Excellent video ministry concentrating on apologetics, social issues, cults, and false doctrines. They have a nice catalog.
Below are three of their videos, one is on Halloween.
Devil Worship: The rise of Satanism 63R80,00
This video takes you behind the scenes into actual black witchcraft and satanic rituals. Former satanists, practising witches and law enforcement experts explain the vastness and diversity of the movement. Most importantly, dangerous doorways into the occult are exposed.
Halloween: Trick or Treat 48R90,00
Traces of pagan roots of the practice. Cameras take you inside actual witches' covens. The question is squarely addressed: Can Christians in good conscience play with this pagan practice?
Doorways to Satan 48R90.00
75 years of Hollywood films, 50 years of TV and decades of recorded music have brought humanity to an insatiable lust for sex, violence, witchcraft, perversion and occultic mysteries. An eye opening documentary exposing society's bold and defiant march through the "Doorways to Satan".
