Happy Halloween, Fort Greene and Clinton Hill.

It’s time for another season of haunting in the nabe today, including a walk for candy offered by the Society for Clinton Hill and Halloween 313’s annual Halloween play, which has a “20,000 Screams Under the Sea” theme this year. Whether you choose to spend the holiday costume-clad or not, submit some photos of the fun in The Nabe’s Flickr Group.
