The Akron Art Museum isn’t missing an opportunity to jump on the increasingly crowded Halloween bandwagon, with its Circa Thriller party, borrowing its theme from the legendary 1982 Michael Jackson massive hit record.

The parade transforms Sixth Avenue into the city's biggest block party as goblins, ghouls and zombies take over.

The kung-fu crime fighter from the cult classic film “Black Dynamite” is all swagger and one-liners. Get an afro wig, aviators, a leather jacket, and flared pants. Add fake nunchucks or a “you jive turkeys!” attitude to complete it.

Monster Troupe and Portsmouth Thriller are fan favorites of the Halloween Parade. Here's a look behind the scenes at each group.
