The Thriller dancers make their way up Main Street.

A spooky parade was held along Main Street in Riverhead Friday night as part of the second annual Edgar Allan Poe Festival.

Hundreds of people lined the streets as ghosts, ghouls and goblins paraded by and a group of dancers performed to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller.”

The festival continues this weekend.
