This cute girl with the
vampire teeth waited for her friends, two girls also
dressed in short pink skirts, and wearing red or hot
pink high heels in front of Tipsy Gypsy clothing and
accessories shop on the third block of Main Street in
Huntington Beach. They all wore pink ribbons with bows
in their long, blonde hair. Looking sweet and innocent,
we can only surmise that the vampire teeth were the
costume surprise. But wait, there's a bandit lurking in
the dark corner behind her. Beware! It's Halloween
night in Orange County, California. The make-believe OC
of fantasy and fiction unveils itself on October 31.
Throughout California, in fact, people live a Hollywood
fantasy on this night. Dressed like stars, celebrities
and characters from the movies, you never know who you
will meet on Main Street USA, Surf City.
Huntington Beach Main Street
often closes during this special day
around 4 p.m. on October 31 to make way for the annual
Halloween Celebration. Downtown merchants hand out candy
to trick or treat youth from 6 to 8:30 p.m. when the
street is designated a children's fun zone. Moon
bounces, pony rides, petting zoo, balloons and a costume
contest all make this a night to remember. And it's
totally free. See the events calendar for details.
