HALLOWEEN-NYC


Halloween is definitely one of our favorite national holidays, and, judging by the acres of faux spider webs and plastic paraphernalia dangling from porches, it is also an important economic engine in these scary times.

This elaborate "heebie-jeebie hollow" fright set was constructed
in the front yard of a house in Dyker Heights, Brooklyn. It has some
animated figures and I'm told that on Halloween, they have live actors
on set. The grandfather told me there were thousands of visitors last 
year and he had handed out some serious tonnage of candy.
