2008 Halloween Revelers on the Town

Whether they were flocking to the Village Halloween Parade, a party or a zombie crawl, New Yorkers were dressed to the nines and tens in terrific costumes. Here are just a few photographs of the evening--and hope you had a fun and safe Halloween!

I love the Tetris girls. "Do I look fat in this?" one of them asked.

@squid ink--awesome photo :)

The Curious George and Man in Yellow Hat are adorable!!

why is everyone so grouchy? I am not sure why, but I really am loving Halloween this year. I don't "decorate" or do any of that other crap other than stealing and cooking pumpkins, but i dunno, people seem happy. Maybe it's that it's not one of those contrived plastic holidays like New Year's ("you must get stinking drunk and pay way too much for a mediocre dinner") or Valentine's Day (see above) ... just grownups wasting some time and having a fun time of it. This is not so bad, is it?

the tetris and the google maps marker made me laughed.

I also saw a little girl dressed as Rubik's Cube yesterday.

I will definitely dress up next year! You'll see, you'll see...

Great - another all-white Ghostbusters crew.

That's one huge steaming load of product placement just in time for X-mas. Rubik's Cube, Hasbro, Super Mario Bros, PBS Kids... why spend money on huge blow up floats when you can get humans to advertise your products for free?

I linked the wrong pic

this is a yup yup alien from sesame street

A+ on the old school alan scott green lantern costume... not the sort of thing you're gonna find in a store and it looks pretty well put together.

Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays and yesterday was no exception! Hell's Kitchen is also a very cool place to people watch with their costumes.

You guys must be a blast to hang out with. How does it feel being the goth kids from South Park?

i hate having to point out that i'm being sarcastic whenever i want to be sarcastic.

@matty - thanks for reminding me they are called the Yup-Yup's. Duh!
