Welcome back to Horror Street, my ongoing journey in search of awesome yet spooky graffiti art on the streets and little-traveled corners of New York City!

Today we return to the Welling Court Mural Project for another episode of monster hunting. Welling Court is a street located in the Astoria neighborhood of Queens, New York, and for over a decade it’s hosted a streetside art gallery showcasing the graffiti-mural works of New York area artists. It’s here that in 2018 I found the rarely seen mythological beast known as…The Griffin!

Amazing work, don’t you think? And now that I know that there’s a 2020 version of the “show,” even in these Pandemic Times, I can’t wait to see what creatures are currently lurking in the nooks and crannies of Welling Court!

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, and the scarifying Ghoulmobile!
