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.

Here’s some more news to start your day:

  • The Long Island University Brooklyn basketball season is a still week away, but season tickets are now available for both the men’s and women’s teams.
