Compared with New York, Halloween in Paris seems serene. On the metro we saw a girl with silver hair and a grey face. A few benches away sat a man who wore a bloody hockey mask, a la the Friday the 13th films. But you might miss them, too.
New Yorkers celebrate Halloween riotously with a parade through the West Village. The subways fill with ghouls and witches and, maybe this year, Anthony Weiner lookalikes.
No parade for Paris though some have called for one. Some trick-or-treaters came out. Mostly the city’s lights beckoned the undead and looked lovely as always.
