Every year on Oct. 31, thousands of kids of all ages dress up in costume and walk door-to-door collecting Halloween candy. The landmark Spadena house, universally known as the “Witch’s House,” on Walden Drive draws between 4,000 and 5,000 trick-or-treaters from within and outside the City each Halloween.
The childhood haunt is a Mecca on All Hallows Eve, with its storybook features and sloping roof reminiscent of a drooping witch’s hat. However, current owner Michael Libow said during a Sept. 29 special Health and Safety Commission meeting that he is looking into an alternative livestreamed event/tour from his home that night.
