The Creepy & Cool Come Out on Halloween

Anime One Piece Manga Halloween Star Wars Cosplay Tokyo Shibuya

The Shibuya area has become increasingly inundated with cosplaying partiers each Halloween season. The festivities usually kick off two weekends or so before Halloween itself, culminating on whichever Saturday is closest to the official holiday with a veritable horde of costumed revelers looking to show off their elaborate, often hand-made outfits.

And this being Japan, the native home of cosplay, for every one shoddy, store-bough kit, there’s someone sporting a meticulously handcrafted ensemble that would look perfectly at home on a big-budget movie set.
