Happy Halloween, from the streets of Lynbrook and East Rockaway

Posted

Candy, costumes, ghosts, ghouls, and pumpkins are the most common items associated with the day, Oct. 31, known as Halloween, this year on Thursday. 

Besides the traditional trick-or-treating, where people — mostly children — dressed in costumes go door-to-door to homes and receive candy and other treats.

Other Halloween activities include attending costume parties, apple-bobbing, carving pumpkins, lighting bonfires, playing pranks, visiting attractions considered haunted, telling scary stories and watching horror flicks of Halloween-themed movies.
