On Halloween Night Heads Will Roll

.˚⊹.🎃₊˚𖦹⋆.𖥔 ݁ ˖🕸️🕷.𖥔 ݁ ˖.˚⊹.🎃₊˚𖦹⋆

Standing in lines, dressed to the nines, a Spooky Halloween Party begins.🎃

Oh, do come in to stay till the end.👻

Walk with me; there’s plenty to see.👀

Like off with their heads, chillin' and dancing till dead!⚰️

The heads will roll, taking their toll.☠️

Catch the blood, sweat, and tears, and missing some ears🩸

What a spirited fight, all day and all night.🌃

Quenching an evil thirst ... every October 31st.🧛‍♂️

When the undead meet the living, it’s all very riveting!🧟‍♀️

Undoubtedly, Gotham is the place to be.🐈‍⬛

To ease any fear, party helpers will stand near.👺

For humans and demons alike, it promises to be a fang-tastic Fright Night!🐺🌕🐾

Attendees will firmly agree; it's an eerie party with a ghoulish motley.😱

Enjoy every spine-tingling scene. 🔪

For a Happy Haunted Howl-o-ween!

All photos were taken by me on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, except for 4 nighttime jack-o'-lantern images. Clicking on those 4 images will take to their sources.

Streets of Skulls In Gotham City

For Halloween 2025 I’m taking you on a haunted ride. Inside the lobbies of highrises and the front of a brownstone to see, evil spirits descending on Manhattan in glee!👻

Such chilling decor of skulls and the undead on 3 city blocks. There’s even more throughout the rest of the city.

Yet be forwarned, it isn’t all pretty.🩸

Halloween smiles and scowls across 13.4 miles! In lobbies and doorways and windows and ailses.

🧟‍♀️Have fun and fright throughout the night!🧟‍♂️

While you walk about, until every jack-o-lanturn burns itself out.

“There’s something haunting in the twilight of the moon.” - John Conrad

Careful, you better not swoon!☠️

As there’s “double, double toil and trouble. Fire burn and caldron bubble.” - Shakespeare

Come celebrate with the natives: Eat, drink and be gritty!

Happy Halloween from New York City!

Update, October 31th: At 5:00 PM I went to see the decor of 2 more brownstones on the Upper East Side below:

Happy Halloween 2024

All photos are taken by Debra Turner of the Upper East Side (Click to enlarge)

On the Upper East Side, it's Halloween 2024. Around the Nabe walk with me once more.

Yet beware of coming too close, or lingering too long. Because Halloween's Monster Bash has already begun!👺

New Yorkers are dressed to the nines, it's clear. Forever I hear, there's plenty to fear. 🐺

As passersby stare at the undead, they'll stare back at you! There's a chill in the air and a cold wicked glare

No expense is ever spared on the decor to meet Yorkville's spirited Halloween lore.🎃

Witches, spiders, rats, tall hats, and severed heads. Maybe alive or maybe they're dead?

The eyes, the skulls, the creatures who beam.🧛‍♂️

Some grin, some lean, some hang, and others look quite mean.

This year bones are trending. Pets and pumpkins too.💀

A book of poisons to put a hex is on you!📚

Oh, what a Fright lasting all day and all night!🔪

When Gotham locals and tourists are out on the town, a voice whispers, "Send in the clowns. There ought to be clowns."🎵♩♪

A raven watches your every move. You must stay alert to avoid danger and be ready to skirt.🕷

All Hallow's Eve, ghosts and ghouls are running loose.

Howling, flying, and on the hunt for the obtuse.

Don't be their prey. Stay far, far away!

The Gold family flew in this morning. A warning!

Another day is dawning, but perhaps not for everyone as evil is swarming!👀

The owl asks, "Who, who? Will it be you?" Oh no, hang low. Spot foe. Don't let it be so!😱

We're at our last stop and the end of my ditty.

Happy Halloween, readers, from Gotham City!

And ... know👆that someone is sorry to see you go.🩸🩸🩸
