Hundreds of costumed characters took to the streets of Howard Beach on Saturday morning for the annual Halloween parade down Cross Bay Boulevard. The beloved event, run each year by the Howard Beach Kiwanis Club, was another casualty of Sandy, but was back with full force this year.
Batman, Superman, the Cowardly Lion, good witches and bad, ghosts, goblins, Elvis, Elvira, Mickey, Minnie, Ursula the Sea Witch, Super Girl and a host of others took a stroll under pleasant skies from 159th Avenue to 165th Avenue where they were met with pizza, goodie bags, pumpkins and other holiday treats for all.

Supreme Court Justice Augie Agate looks pretty calm considering he’s in such close proximity to a knife wielding grim reaper—truth is Judge Agate looked under the mask to find Scholar’s Academy swimming star Ben Fox lurking around doing some “spooky community service.”
Looking all ghoulish and groovy, girlfriends Gabby, 10 Isabella 9, Allie 9, and Nikki 9 were out for a day of chaperoned fun with Batgirl—who is not 9 or 10.

Crazy, colorful 9-year-old BFF’s Juliana, Julia and Natalie enjoyed the day.
It appears that Super Girl was trying to have a word with Mickey while the camera distracts Ursula, the Sea Witch.
