At the recent ICP Photo Book Festival, I happened upon Halloween Underground: New York Subway Portraits by Seymour Licht. The book whispered to me and begged to be picked up. After a few short pages, I eventually looked at it the way a sugar addict stares at a frosted cupcake instead of a frosted pop-tart. In that way, Halloween Underground: New York Subway Portraits isn’t a trick — it’s quite a treat and filled with deliciousness. If you’re a fan of Halloween, film photography, the New York City subway, costumes, and photo books; then this is the one to consider.
