Witches, ghouls, and goblins gathered across the borough on Halloween to trick-or-treat and strut their stuff at spooky bashes from Bay Ridge’s Owl’s Head Park to Park Slope, which held its annual kid-focused Halloween parade, the largest in the country.
Sloper Alex Crowhurst moved to the neighborhood two years ago, but this was his first time participating in the parental procession because last year, when his daughter Reagan was one year old, Hurricane Sandy’s devastation forced organizers to cancel the parade. This year, the family did a victory lap with Reagan dressed as a fairy, Alex as a viking, and his wife Nicole as a witch.

“It was great to get all dressed up for this one and see the parade,” said Crowhurst, who did not put a lot of time into his Nordic pirate outfit. “It was a rush job.”
Democratic mayoral candidate Bill DeBlasio and his wife Chirlane McCray led the Park Slope parade, both costume-less. We know, DeBlasio is busy, but he already has most of our Sandinista DeBlasio get-up down pat. All he needed was the fatigues.
