HOBOKEN, NJ — While the annual Ragamuffin Parade was canceled in Hoboken this year, and the mayor advised against trick-or-treating, there are still activities planned, including a virtual costume contest for kids. And the residents of the mile-square city have decorated their houses to entertain.

We ran a photo compilation two weeks ago, but here are the newest hilarious Hoboken Quaroween decorations.

In Hoboken in past years, businesses and clusters of uptown brownstones gave out candy and often drew dense crowds. Signs on some of those homes said they'd be back to giving out candy next year, bigger and better. And a few people have installed "candy chutes" from their stoops to the sidewalk.
