    New York trick-or-treaters defy Sandy to celebrate Halloween

    Lisa and Julia Kravchenko pose in their Halloween costumes as they stand in an area ruined by Hurricane Sandy in Staten Island, New York, on October 31, 2012.

    Mega-storm Sandy played Wicked Witch on Wednesday, postponing Halloween for millions of disappointed East Coast children warned not to trick or treat amid dangling electrical wires and trees uprooted by the deadly weather, Reuters reports.

    But the lingering effects of the deadly storm didn't stop all the fun, as these pictures show.
