Spooky Hoboken Sights
And no, I’m not talking about the daily debacle known as City Hall, I’m talking about the myriad of Halloween decorations peppered throughout the mile square!
My favorite of 2009 so far, is this cool display being built at the corner of 11th and Garden – when this resident has been building a hand-made spider web out of rope. I’ve been walking by each day this week, and noticed the careful amount of effort he’s put into doing it right. He said that on Halloween, a scary giant spider will “come out of it’s nest” to spook trick or treater’s!
Here’s another collection of random Hoboken scary sights, and other Halloween-related shots taken in the past week or so. What are your favorites in town?
Hopefully Halloween doesn’t get the usual weekend rain we’ve been having!

Check out the window display at Hoboken Dental located at 1216 Washington. They did a pretty good job there too!!!

@ “goosey night”
Oh my. I thought “cabbage night” was cause for concern. Where did you grow up? In Bergen County? Mr. Roger’s neighborhood?

Parlez vous “Mischief night”? What the heck is going on in Morris County? But let’s let bygones be bygones, please, won’t you be my neighbor?
Anyway, that web @ 11th & Garden is inspired. I am waxing nostalgic about seeing a real grassroots artist working in Hoboken.

I grew up in Hudson County. I grew up in Union City. I have never heard the terms Goosey Night or Cabbage Night. We called Halloween, Halloween. We called the night before Halloween Hell Night.

We also called the night before Halloween Mischief Night as well. I had forgotten about that term until I read your post.

Ditto on “Hell Night” (without “Halloween”), but “Mischief night” was the most used in my salad days. And for good reason. Hard to believe we returned the next night and asked the same people for candy; we should have gotten one upside.
