Vampires, superheroes, fairies and Jedi Knights rubbed shoulders on Oct. 24, at the annual Haunted High Line Halloween event, held along the elevated park’s W. 14th to W. 17th St. stretch. Kids enjoyed storytelling, puppet shows, face painting, musical performances, and visits from costumed characters who brought the area’s industrial past back to life. For info on upcoming High Line activities, visit thehighline.org.

Sixth & Seventh Aves.). Kids and pets who came in costume were rewarded with treats, and then the group paraded through the neighborhood. Visit 20thstreetpark.org to follow the park’s progress.
