Halloween Daily News once again documented the entire event, with exclusive Parade highlights featured on the HDN YouTube channel and watched by over 79,000 subscribers around the world. The three Best In Show winners were also each interviewed and photographed by Halloween Daily News for a special feature on the channel.
