Decked out in their most creative Halloween attire, scores of spirited spooks haunted the popular Crema Restaurant in Manhattan for a ghoulishly good time at the Veg-O-Ween benefit for Mercy For Animals. Dancing to pop beats from DJ Lil Ray, laughing at a comedy routine by Kate Wolff, and noshing on delightful vegan hors d’oeuvres specially prepared by Crema’s talented chef Julieta Ballesteros, guests were also treated to a screening of MFA’s powerful new television ad campaign that debuted on MTV last week – because what’s really scary is the way that billions of animals are raised and killed for food.
And now for the photos:

Thanks to Jessica Mahady and the incredible folks at Veggie Conquest for putting on the event and to MooShoes and Vérité Catering for providing the raffle prizes. And thanks to all the people who came out in support of MFA’s lifesaving work on behalf of farmed animals.
