The Hoboken Girl Team 
We have been loud and proud about our favoritism towards October in Hoboken. It’s the best month for a lot of reasons, but chief among them is the increasingly creative, clever, and creepy Halloween displays built by residents. 2025 is proving to be no different, with skeletal recreations of Beetlejuice, E.T., Woodstock, and Taylor Swift’s dating history, among other things. It’s not a competition, but we’re feeling particularly spooky. Keep scrolling to see the 10 best Halloween displays in Hoboken for 2025, ranked (for now).
13.K-Pop Demon Hunters | 12th Street, Between Park + Willow Avenues
