Adults get back into Halloween
2003
Overview
Last year, the trio dressed as \"Domo-kuns\" - friendly space creatures from Japanese lore - and attended the packed annual Halloween parade in Greenwich Village. The following day, they traipsed around town posing for photos with tourists and at city landmarks. \"The notion that Halloween is simply for kids is a misconception based on the centrality of trick-or-treating in the 1950s, when there was an attempt to take the mischief out of Halloween and 'infantilize' it,\" says Nick Rogers, a history professor at York University in Toronto and author of \"Halloween: From Pagan Ritual to Party Night.\" He says the Greenwich Village parade was among the first to re- ignite adult interest in the 1970s. Today, he estimates two-thirds of adults celebrate Halloween.
