- Last year, about 7,000 people participated, and we grow by 500 to 1,000 participants each year, says Bill Schacht, founder of the Shockholm Halloween Parade.

He continues:

- The costumes get better and better every year.

- Clothes express us, and this is a way of expressing ourselves in a more radical way. All the smiles that are elicited during the evening are the best with Shockholm.
