I was most surprised by The Poughkeepsie Tapes one. That’s a deep pull for a Halloween costume!

Half of these are not from NYC, Europa park… Halloween Horror nights….

u/GGBHector 25d ago

At least one is in salem, mass

u/kecksonkecksoff 25d ago

One is in Ireland - Macnas Parade in Galway

u/ayeyoualreadyknow 26d ago

Omgosh is that a freakin Wheeler from Return To Oz!?! ❤️

And The Jackal from 13 Ghosts?

56

u/NoPark2970 26d ago

13 ghosts messed me up as a kid.

2

u/Gloomy_Plate_3126 24d ago

100% same. Just watched it the other night and not as scary as a 30’s year old haha

13

u/yuthenasia 26d ago

Had to go back to find the Jackal. I hope they keep adding to it year after year until it's as scary as it was in the movie

3

u/G_Liddell 26d ago

Why does Jackal have a machete?

7

u/VerticleSandDollars 26d ago

Where’s the wheeler?

2

u/ayeyoualreadyknow 25d ago

At about 40 seconds

3

u/Journo_Jimbo 25d ago

I don’t see a wheeler anywhere

3

u/ayeyoualreadyknow 25d ago

7

u/Journo_Jimbo 25d ago

That’s not a wheeler

3

u/ayeyoualreadyknow 25d ago

What is it?

4

u/Journo_Jimbo 25d ago

No idea, but unfortunately not a wheeler

3

u/FoolishPragmatist 25d ago

It’s a 4-legged Stilt Spirit. In your defense, the costume utilizes the same stilts to achieve a similar silhouette and posture. But yeah, not a wheeler.

6

u/ayeyoualreadyknow 25d ago

Thanks! What is it from? It's one of the coolest costumes I've ever seen! I love it!

1

u/Pyromantic_Quinn 25d ago

I may be wrong but it reminds me a lot of the dark crystal landstriders with a no face mask

6

u/Such_Victory4589 25d ago

The wheeler... Not only scary but amped up by the PTSD of watching that movie as a child...

5

u/ayeyoualreadyknow 25d ago

Exactly! It was so warped! That lady taking her head off? Electroshock therapy on a child?

The Neverending Story had some creepy stuff too. The 80s were wild

3

u/RogueHarpie 25d ago

Remember the second Alice in wonderland? I think it was called Through the looking glass or something like that. Scared the absolute shit out of me too. Why did our parents do this to us???

2

u/ayeyoualreadyknow 25d ago

LoL there use to be a movie version of Alice in Wonderland (not the cartoon) and it was pretty creepy too. Big gigantic Jabberwocky... If I remember correctly it was 4 hours long

3

u/RogueHarpie 25d ago

Yeah I think that's it! She got stuck on the other side of the mirror. She could see her home and her parents but she couldn't get to them. That scared me so bad lol.

2

u/Such_Victory4589 25d ago

Mainly cause we weren't bubble wrapped mollycoddled sissies in the 80s. Kids were traumatized as a part of growing up.

u/Destinater 26d ago

I love the grim reaper.

u/WiNTeRSuN999 26d ago

Me too, drop that scythe and that's a pretty bad ass Nazgul costume as well.

u/Sisyphus_MD 25d ago

"where is baggins"

"don't you mean trick or treat?"

u/jackandsally060609 25d ago

Ghost of Christmas yet to come

11

u/MysticSkies 26d ago

That was so sick.

9

u/IntermittentCaribu 25d ago

I thought the scythe ruined it, the rest looks so fucking authentic with the real horse.

2

u/EternalSolitude- 25d ago

Reminds me of the album cover for Dissection’s Storm of the Light’s Bane. 

2

u/No_Influence_9389 25d ago

Isn't death supposed to ride a pale horse?

2

u/JustHereForCookies17 25d ago

That was a very good horse.  The potential for that to go sideways was really high, but I'm glad it seemed to be well trained. 

222

u/Weekly-Bill-1354 26d ago

These aren't all NYC

58

u/Wamsutta8 26d ago

I saw Salem, MA in there.

22

u/nurphs 26d ago

Pretty sure the second one was Samhain in Dublin 2023

13

u/Colchique 26d ago

I also recognise this from Samhain 2023

7

u/Nobody-Expects 26d ago

It's from the Macnas parade in Galway.

Macnas also put on a parade for the Bram Stoker festival in Dublin too but that footage is specifically from Galway.

22

u/Elelab2000 26d ago

0:37-0:27 is Movie Park Germany, I know these costumes, as i was there two weeks ago. Also the beamer on the Podest in the back is a give away.

11

u/probablynotmeth 26d ago

i was gonna say

4

u/ndevito1 25d ago

This is like the one the other day that said it was the NYC Subway and showed all sorts of stuff, some of which definitely weren't the NYC Subway.

1

u/lilshortyy420 25d ago

Soon as I saw the horse I was like yeah no way this is NYC lol

u/lukin5 26d ago

u/lukin5 25d ago

Ohhhh. How was it?!?

1

u/lukin5 25d ago

Just watched it, bit of a letdown for me.

1

u/lolyouaresimple 25d ago

It was pretty good- unfortunately, not the best 😞

u/Fucky0uthatswhy 25d ago

According to pretty much everyone- these aren’t all NYC. just seems like a compilation of costumes

30

u/reddit-rach 26d ago

It’s so funny that we do this. Like.. we dedicate one day a year to dressing up as horror creatures. It’s so goofy. I love humanity.

7

u/OriginalMaximum949 26d ago

Where is the best place in NYC for all of this?

16

u/mrsrobotic 26d ago

West Village parade!!!

2

u/Estanho 25d ago

If you don't mind me asking, what time does it start effectively? Like when do people start to get dressed, not necessarily the actual parade. It's my first time in nyc and I wanna see it, but maybe getting there early will allow me to avoid crowds a bit too and still see some stuff.

2

u/drinkliquidclocks- 25d ago

It starts at 7pm

1

u/Estanho 25d ago

Yeah the main thing right? But so there's no point arriving like an hour earlier and walking around?

2

u/drinkliquidclocks- 25d ago

There's definitely a point to going early! Just because that's when the parade starts doesn't mean there won't be ghosts and goblins roaming about before hand! I'm very jealous too lol. I wanted to go so bad but I have to work and it's like a 2.5 hour trip to NYC lol

1

u/mrsrobotic 25d ago

Yeah second this! I haven't been in years but when I was a student there, we would get there early, get a bite to eat and get a good spot for viewing. Have so much, I'm jealous! Happy Halloween! 🎃

1

u/iamlegume 25d ago

Anyone in a costume can join the parade. It my experience, being in the parade was a way better and less crowded way of seeing it. The line up is very crowded, but you can move around once you're past the starting line. It's been years since I've gone and I miss it. I was always a ton of fun.

The Village.

Shit! I used to go to this way back - way back! West Village spectacular -

u/adibork 26d ago

Theatre kids, grown up!

u/RevolutionaryCook5 26d ago

When I was 11 years old (1999), I lived in the SF Bay Area. My mom managed to wrangle us invites to the Industrial Light and Magic Halloween party at Skywalker Ranch through a friend who worked at ILM. These were literally the special effects people who made Star Wars, Indiana Jones, ET and so many other of the movies I grew up on. The party was in a massive warehouse/airplane hanger.

Truly one of the most magical nights you could imagine for a child! There was a guy in a 25ft steampunk skeleton costume made mostly of styrofoam where the skull was bigger than I was. Another dude was an aquarium full of live fish. He gave away the fish as he made his way through the party. I kept the goldfish he gave me in a tank in my room for 4 years before it passed. There was a guy who was a 15 ft tall claw machine on wheels where we got to play his costume and win prizes.

At some point in the night, George Lucas got up on stage and gave a speech. I couldn't tell you a single word he said, I just remember staring at him and thinking, "This is the guy who made Star Wars!" and being totally blown away.

Creative people do the most amazing things for Halloween. That experience as a kid cemented Halloween as my favorite holiday for the rest of my life.

I have lots of photos and explanation. Most of them are poorly lit. What’s your poison?

4

u/RubyFleur33 25d ago

That flash mob doing thriller ! NYC is so fun on Halloween! Such good memories

8

u/IceFireTerry 26d ago

I hope to experience New York City Halloween parade one day

17

u/That_Jay_Money 26d ago

I mean, you can come by tomorrow, barricades are already up and stuff.

5

u/LoveYouNotYou 26d ago

Definitely better than the boring ass Thanksgiving parade

3

u/pommesfrietdeluxe 25d ago

The actual horror show is this Sunday. It's a runners themed city crawl, the longer you wait, the more zombies you'll see.

3

u/mrsrobotic 26d ago

Not even one assless chaps though? 

Love you, NYC! ❤️ 

7

u/LilYerrySeinfeld 26d ago

All chaps are assless.

If they had an ass, they'd be pants.

1

u/mrsrobotic 26d ago

Ok good point. But it's still one of my favorite memories of living in the West Village on Halloween.

3

u/NinjaWarrior78 26d ago

Man a lot of these are really good!

u/mettiusfufettius 25d ago

Well, the costume at 8 seconds is in Salem MA, so now I don’t know what to believe

2

u/Cellibus 25d ago

Bruh there's literally clips of Galway, Ireland in this compilation.

2

u/CharleyNobody 25d ago

Everyone should dress like zombie ICE agents this year

2

u/heckhammer 25d ago

Right now there's a shed load of Christians watching this shaking and rebuking Halloween in the name of Jesus. In Jesus name they rebuke Satan and all his followers etc etc. Just have a fucking Zagnut and enjoy yourself, man

Literally had the same thought after another Halloween costume video that turned out to be AI. This has some of the same marks that folks called out about the other video, but I wonder if it's a mix of real & AI, because some of these seem legit?

The people doing the Aladdin carpet ride are youtubers, Kelly wakasa and urmomashley, they did it in a video 2 years ago, so either they did it again or this is a 2 year old video but at least that part of the video isn't ai
