From costumes and candy to some hauntingly good fun,
Philadelphia getting into the Halloween spirit tonight.
Families hitting the streets for trick-or-treating,
party-goers showing off their creative costumes
and spooky attractions bringing out the scares across Philly.
Our Dylan Scott taking in the tricks, treats and Halloween thrills.
A very happy Halloween. What a day
and night it has been across Philadelphia and our region as well
as residents big and small like made sure
to really soak up this spooky season.
at old haunts like the masquerade costume store in south philly
philadelphians were spending
their witching hours making sure they had the right fit
you excited oh there you go for a night
of fun kids trick-or-treating i'm going to the party
I'm starting to laugh already.
looking forward to seeing a lot of good costumes and just getting candy
across the city of brotherly love residents soaked
in the boo to full day it's so fun and i
I love Halloween. Like my Halloween spirit is fully on.
Yeah, it's the best day in the neighborhood.
Love it so much. Happy Halloween, buddy. West Philadelphia,
famous for their trick-or-treating on Little Osage, did not disappoint.
The candy was flowing. Everybody has to bring a bag.
Yeah, everyone brings a bag. We all come together.
The creativity was 20,000 leagues above the rest.
I gotta ask you, comfortable, uncomfortable? Is it worth it?
I had to take three ibuprofen just to get into it.
And the band, of course, was playing all the hits.
If they want the monster mash,
you give them the monster mash.
That's how you do it.
Of course, what is Halloween without a little bump in the night fun?
From bars and restaurants to events like
the 35th annual Halloween Nights at Eastern State Penitentiary.
I'd say if they showed a werewolf,
I'd be kind of, yeah, I don't love them.
Everyone was all in for a scare
or two on All Hallows' Eve.
Little one!
I think that's ultimately the goal tonight
is to see, what am I scared of?
What are we going for?
So I'm hoping they're prepared.
Do you understand the nature of separation?
Yes.
Do you fear it?
No.
Come with me.
We are coming through now.
Now Halloween won't fall on a Saturday again for 11 years.
That'll be 2037. But there is some good news and that Halloween
will fall on the weekend next year on a Sunday in 2027.
