Halloween festivities started this past weekend and continued until Tuesday, after a nearly two-decade-long hiatus in San Francisco's Castro District.
In its heyday, Halloween was a massive party in the Castro. The city and organizers shut it down after a mass shooting in 2006 that injured nine people.On Tuesday, the crowds were lively and festive, yet manageable. San Francisco native Angela Brown dressed up as Morticia Addams and her granddaughter was Wednesday. The two wrapped up trick-or-treating with their tradition - a stop at Hot Cookie.
'I graduated high school in '87 so from '83 onwards, this was the spot,' said Brown. Lizzi Dierken has lived in the city for 30 years, and used to attend the annual party before violence broke out.'That was so fun but with that comes a lot of things,' she said. The crowds are much thinner these days, but people who showed up this year were in a celebratory mood.
