Gotham City's Season Of the Witch

All photos were taken on a walk in my neighborhood. Click to enlarge any photo. Bart the Bartender (below, left) has your wine.

Halloween is here on The Upper East Side once more. Let me give you this year's tour. 


But a tour alone would not suffice, so accept these words of sage advice ...

🎢 "You've got to pick up every stitch," as it "must be the season of the witch."🎡

When you look outside your window what do you see?🎢


🎢 Eerie sights and spooky people to be! 🎡

The range and change are very strange! πŸŽΆ

And ... πŸŽΆ you've got to pick up every stitch. 🎡

Since it 🎢 must be the season of the witch. 🎡



Frankenstein, Satan, and Beetlejuice have come to make their pitch. πŸ”±

 While the undead slots its evil niche, πŸŽΆ you've got to pick up every stitch. πŸŽ΅

       When you look over your shoulder what do you see as true? Creepy creatures are looking back at you! πŸŽ΅πŸ‘Ί



 A skeleton upon a scaffold is spine-chillingly rich -- that's why πŸŽΆ you've got to pick up every stitch. πŸŽ΅

 

Beware! πŸ’€πŸ§›πŸ‘» ... Time to go!?!  ... πŸ§›‍♂️πŸ§ŸπŸ§™‍♀️A twitch, oh no!

The switch!! πŸ•·πŸŽƒπŸ‘Ί A stare!! 

 The scare!!! πŸ§ŸπŸΎ


Too late ... your fate is up in the air!?! πŸ–€ 

Or down below, in hell πŸ”₯ ... who knows? πŸ‘€

On the qui vive! ... watch out!! ... πŸŽΆ 
Coming down to bite ... no doubt!πŸ•·


Quick! 🎢 You've got to pick up every stitCH! πŸŽ΅


🎢 Must be the season of the witCH! πŸŽ΅

Happy Halloween 2020

Photo: The Courier-Journal - Bon-a-parte is wearing his mask!

Alas, there are changes for Halloween in 
2020. Listen up, all ye shadowy friends!

πŸ•Έ
Manhattan's town crier has announced: Everybody must stay home this year, inside their own lairs, webs and protective bubbles instead of attending bone-chilling parties and parades with the usual crowds of undead and prey, um costumed people.

Many fiends are unhappy little troopers since they wait all year long for Fright Night and look forward to crossing fateful paths with fresh blood as darkness falls!

But with droplets of  COVID in the air, what can a gargoyle or Grim Reaper do? But go about life and find festive ways to pass the twilight hours in one's milieu.

Time to clean rats out of chimneys and tend to bat projects at home! Thankfully Barton the Bartender, an essential worker, can still offer you bottles of wine at the neighborhood wine shop! Reds are the best sellers at this location! Bring your own bag this year, or you will be charged 5 cents!😱

Family members sit outside of a local haunt to quench their thirst with fewer pedestrians out and about.



















Even in a pandemic life has a veneer of normalcy. There remain pumpkins, eye of newt and tongue of dog to fetch at the local farmers' market.πŸ‘…

Pets must be walked, and couples dress to take an evening stroll.πŸ§›‍♂️


This Halloween, ghouls who are spending more time indoors, can try on uncured heads, or hang upside down to relieve their newfound boredom.πŸ‘»

           






Dry Bones play peek-a-boo and learn new skills. Face coverings are mandatory to have your fortune told!πŸ’€
With no treat-or-treaters to come around this year, phantoms billed as the Cryptkeepers pick up old instruments to play new spooky music within their circle.

πŸ•·
Lucky spectral Manhattanites with brownstones exercise by climbing out, then up and down their windows - 10, 000 steps per day everybody!



Little demons sit on the stoop taking a break from their Zoom classes. Stay out of mischief children, and wash those spindly hands!



















Like all mindful New Yorkers, when leaving home for essentials, don't forget to wear your face mask. 

And fly, hang, or stand at least 6 feet apart from other passersby, whether they be living and breathing ... or not. In these unreal times, it could save your life in more ways than one.
A safe and Happy Halloween to Spirits and Readers alike from THE SAVVY SHOPPER!
