You don't have to ask Oak Lawn to bring it; and, it's not just Halloween: Cedar Springs stays fierce 365 days a year. But, the annual block party produces some of the city's very best costumes each October. This year, Dallas Morning News photographers took over 1,100 photos of revelers, which you can browse in full here and here.
But, say you don't have time to sift through a thousand photos. Perhaps you need inspiration for the coming Halloween weekend. Save time by browsing some of our favorites and top trends from #HalloweenBlockParty2015.
