Including the two supermoons, there will be a total of 13 full moons during the year.

There will also be two full moons in the month of October alone, the second of which is called a blue moon. Here's the special, and somewhat eerie, part. The blue moon will fall on Halloween night.

Ok...this hits several fronts.

Ping to sunkenciv for all things involving the moon.

Ping to Salamander for anything involving The Misfits, especially their song "Halloween" and ex-Misfit guitarist Bobby Steele's band, The Undead, playing a kicking version of Halloween at Tompkins Square.

(dp0622 gets pinged on all-things NYC)

“...but it’s even more rare to have it on Halloween”

Similar grammar to: ‘even more better!’

Thanks for posting this info, though!
