Celebrating Halloween Like It’s 1980
Goblins, witches, and ghosts oh my! It’s that time of year again for pumpkins, costumes, scary movies, and oh yea candy! But do you know what Halloween looked like in 1980?
Well, the New York Village Halloween parade is America’s only nighttime parade. In addition to elaborate costumes, the event features giant puppets manipulated by several puppeteers and bands.
Each year, parade themes draw upon extensive research into the symbolic language and meanings underlying celebrations and rituals.
The parade was so popular it was held the following year. Then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani insisted it go on to restore a sense of community and begin the healing process.
Today’s Question
