Village Halloween Parade frights and delights New York City

EAST VILLAGE, Manhattan (WABC) -- Halloween arrived and thousands ghouls, goblins and all kinds of creatures hit the streets for New York City's annual Village Halloween Parade.

Revelers made their way up Sixth Avenue for the 43rd time.

The costumes were creative and clever, to downright funny pokes at politics.

It's as if all is right in the world when Michael Jackson's "Thriller" blares in the background, and a crowd of characters synchronize those famous dance moves.

The Village Halloween Parade is a reminder of what dreams we can bring to life.

It was a great time to share with family and friends.
