There’s Halloween in New York—and then there’s Kostume Kult. Every year, they take things to another level, and Tails from the Krypt was no exception. Hosted as the official after-party for the legendary NYC Halloween Parade, this immersive, anything-goes night was part rave, part art installation, part social experiment… and 100% unforgettable.

Held in a transformed warehouse space packed with fog, lasers, and every costume imaginable, the night pulsed with creativity and community. From glittering demons to velvet-winged angels, no detail was too small and no outfit too extra. Kostume Kult has a way of creating safe, joyful, and outrageously fun spaces—and it shows in every frame.

Scroll on to see a few of my favorite moments from this beautifully chaotic celebration of self-expression and collective weirdness.
