A collection of street photography that documents San Francisco's late 1970s Halloween celebrations. Originally published in 1981, the book features photographs taken by Ken Werner at adult Halloween events from 1976 to 1980. The events, once known as the "Mardi Gras of the West," were popular events organized by LGBT and sex worker advocates, attracting thousands of curious attendees and conservative ire. This also explores the bacchanalia of the pagan and occult roots of Halloween, a magical dream/nightmare-land of terror and joy, with uninhibited celebrants in stunning self-made guises that combine cartoon logic, sexual extravagance, and a highly irreverent take on American mythologies.
