Have you been to the Pandora Zwieback website recently? If not, you’re missing out on the spooktacular graffiti art that can be found on…Horror Street!
Horror Street is an occasional feature on the blog: my ongoing journey in search of awesome yet spooky graffiti art on the streets and little-traveled corners of New York City. Its origin lies in the Covid pandemic lockdown of 2020–2021, when wandering the deserted back streets and industrialized areas of Queens and Brooklyn to take photos of graffiti murals was a safer bet, health-wise, than meandering the far busier streets of Manhattan. And imagine my surprise when I realized just how much of the art I found was horror-related!
Over time, I’ve accumulated quite a few pics of some really incredible street art (and continue to do so), which I post from time to time at the Pan blog, where I give the pieces such titles as the Brooklyn Vampire, the demonic D-Rod, Where the Gene Wilder Things Are, the beast called Queens’thluhu, the scarifying Ghoulmobile, the regal Griffin, the Spooky Forest, and the Demon Door.
In recent weeks, I took a “ride” on the Spirit Halloween terror train, in their faux “Madison Scare Park” subway car (pictured here), which resides—for the moment—at Spirit’s flagship store in Manhattan. And then there’s that possible sighting of an autumn “home” for It’s Pennywise the Clown on Park Avenue…
So, head on over to the Pan site and check out the Horror Street entries to see what ghoulish artistic wonders New York City has to offer!
