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, on Wednesday the 13th, we pay a visit to the Spooky Forest, a mural I came across during my wanderings in the Queens, New York, neighborhood of Long Island City back in 2018. It’s a mural by Josh McQuary, aka McMonster—who, if the Googling search is correct, is a Portland, Oregon artist (clicking the link will take you to his Instagram page). 

An amazingly atmospheric bit of work, don’t you think? Although I’m not sure if I’d want to stop by this particular wood on a snowy evening!

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, and the regal Griffin!
