I know that a lot of countries don't celebrate Halloween at all, and some countries sort of celebrate Halloween a little bit, but here in the good ol' USA, we love Halloween! We go crazy for it! The kids love dressing up in costumes, but so do the adults -- it's so much fun! I have many friends who make a big deal of it every year and have annual Halloween parties. Lots of folks also enjoy decorating their homes and yards in "haunted house" fashion. This year I found about four or five houses all on the same block of N. Tejon Street (just south of Caramillo) in the Old North End that were really scary! Obviously a lot of effort went into all this Halloween craziness, but it looks great and I'm sure all the little kiddos in the neighborhood get a big kick out of trick or treating on this block. It doesn't hurt that these homes are all over 100 years old -- it certainly adds to the "haunted house" vibe. I took plenty of pictures of all of them, so please enjoy these while you daydream about bags full of candy. Happy Halloween!
I'll leave you with this image of a cyclist who paused in the middle of his ride to take a few pictures. Everyone loves Halloween!

You certainly look twice when passing places like this. Terrific shots!
Some people really go all out.
Great series of photos. There's this American guy who moved to Stockholm a few years ago. He missed Halloween so much he started a parade in Stockholm. http://www.thelocal.se/20141030/stockholms-shocking
