What I personally miss most about being a kid during Halloween isn’t the candy, the hokey decorations, or even watching It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. As far as I’m aware, these are all still well observed by the adult Halloween-enjoying community. But the act of walking around showing off the costume you worked on – or your mom worked on while you gave notes – remains an underwhelming aspect of the 21+ party experience. Here’s where the Mystic Krewe of Chiroptera comes in: This Saturday, they’re leading an all-ages parade where costumed community members can join “the circus” and show off their All Hallows’ Eve habiliments. Whether you’re a skeleton, a skele-clown, or the AMAZING Skelephant, there’s room enough for everyone in this procession – and at the Hyperreal Film Club-located afterparty. – James Scott
