It's a sad day when you realize you won't have hundreds of mini Kamen Riders knocking on your door asking for candy...

Thankfully they look better animated. If anything they need more Touhou cosplay, which works perfectly on Halloween.

Yeah, kicked our ass. I wouldn't have expected that he was in Japan.

Wow! That's a lot of cosplayers and spectators! Oddly, what I found most scary was the cosplayer that had the mask in the form of an anime-style head (ie large eyes, etc). Those things freak me out, for some reason. Shocked

I have to admit, Waldo was a bit surprising.

I saw Elmo too. I don't really like Elmo, but it made me happy just seeing him in this.

Needs moar scary!!! Twisted Evil

Heheh, every Halloween season, a friend decks his whole house with scary props, specialFX, and everything including smoke and wireless mic/speakers for his booming voice when in costume. His young daughter gets a kick out of it every year.

Happy Halloween!

This is really cool to see out of Japan. I know Japan just got into the Halloween culture not too long ago, but from what ANN just described, I guess that holiday just got a little bigger every year in Japan.

It is interesting to see Japan pick up this Holiday since they do love embracing western/American culture just like Christmas is huge there or Valentine's Day. Seeing all the cos-play costumes and not just animated characters was neat to see.
