(Prospect Park, Brooklyn) Known for its scenic views, Prospect Park held a scarier theme Saturday for the upcoming Halloween. Despite the windy weather, the park was lively with The Monster Mash song blasting for its annual Halloween Haunted Walk and Carnival.
One of the hundreds of parents at the park with their children, Rebecca says that this event is great for kicking off the holiday. “We like Halloween, so we’re down here to give the kids more nature,” she said as she pulled her tot from an open brook in the park. “We enjoy the park.”
Children dressed as Batman and Princesses walked through the walk where ghouls and goblins bolted from out the blue ready to surprise any little victims brave enough to walk the path. But these spooks were not the typical malevolent ones, they were all volunteers hoping to make the best of everyone’s Halloween this year.
