Village Halloween Parade Returns After One-Year Hiatus


A collection of ghouls, ghosts and masqueraders brought back Manhattan’s famous Greenwich Village Halloween Parade, one year after it was washed out by Hurricane Sandy.


Parade watchers were treated to an assortment of spooky sights and scenes as the parade snaked its way through the Village for its 40th year.


This year’s theme, Hallelujah Halloween Revival, was a nod to the parade coming back after the devastating storm.


NY1 carried the parade live, hosted by Pat Kiernan, Jamie Shupak, Roger Clark and Stephanie Simon.


The highly anticipated event was in danger of being canceled again this year because of funding problems, but a successful Kickstarter campaign saved the day.


TV talk show host Kelly Ripa served as this year’s grand marshal.
