According to the French Quarter's official events page, the parade, founded in 2007, features three-dimensional papier-mâché and fiberglass floats built by Kern Studios, famed for its Mardi Gras floats, and riders costumed as werewolves, ghosts and vampires will throw candy, glow beads, voodoo-doll pins and other keepsakes to the crowds; spectators are encouraged to come in Halloween costume. After the parade, the official after-party, Monster Mash, starts at 8 p.m. at Generations Hall.
