Whaaat? Two Horror Street entries in the same week? Hey, why not? It’s Spooky Season, after all, and even though this one doesn’t involve street art, my most recent discovery is something all horror fans in New York City should check out, if only for the fun aspect of it.

While wandering around Manhattan this past weekend, my feet took me along West 14th Street where, on the corner of 6th Avenue, I spotted a Spirit Halloween popup store. What I didn’t realize at the time is that this location (for this year, anyway) serves as Spirit’s “flagship store” in NYC, and is home to their theme for 2025: the Madison Scare Park subway station—complete with haunted subway car!

I mean, how could I not take some pictures of such a great-looking display, with its unique passengers like the mutant rat and the electrified corpse?

So, if you’re in the New York City area, head on down to the Spirit Halloween store on the corner of 6th Avenue and West 14th Street, and take a terror ride at Madison Scare Park!

Stay tuned for further installments of Horror Street—there’s plenty of macabre graffiti art to be found on the streets of New York, if you look in the right creepy places! And be sure to check out my previous HS entries: 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 Beetlejuice himself!
