Wednesday October 31 - New York City
- Twist carries on a thirty-year tradition of puppetry manipulated from homes and buildings along the Parade route. For the 13th year, he manipulates his striking giant spider during the Parade from the dramatic Italianate Gothic Clock tower of the Jefferson Market Library. Each year as the winds of October howl, Twist walks the beloved arachnid up the 149 stairs of this New York landmark to it's perch in the tower. This puppet is a visual treat for those participating in the Parade as well as those lined near the Library who can witness this annual appearance.
