Movies, Stranger Things, And Pumpaganda: Hoboken's Provocative Halloween Displays 2022

HOBOKEN, NJ — For the first time since 2019, mile-square Hoboken, N.J. will hold its Halloween costume contest in person after its traditional Ragamuffin parade. Because so many events are returning this year after the pandemic, the Halloween & Costume Association (HCA) has called Oct. 31, 2022 the "Biggest Halloween in US History."

They said that 93 percent of American Millennials planned to celebrate, and they described it as a "4-day Halloweekend."

In Hoboken, both millennials and longtime residents find ways to celebrate and best themselves each year. Several blocks of brownstones go all out with their displays.

Some are recognized and loved by children each year, while others change with the times. This year's displays evoked Stranger Things, Top Gun, and a lot of skeletons.
