No tricks, all treats at annual Halloween parade for dogs in New York

The annual Tompkins Square Halloween Dog Parade returned to New York's East Village on Saturday, October 19, bringing together a diverse cast of characters from a furry little Cinderella to hip hop group Run-DMC, complete with some doggie bling.

Some dogs in hot dog suits and Yankees jerseys paid homage to New York City while others attempted to look like a totally different animal for the day.

The owner of one dog, named Gremlin, dressed it up as former Yankees player Derek Jeter and expressed his hopes that both New York teams would win their respective play-offs and have an all New York World Series, called a Subway Series.

Cleo, described by her owner as patient and "happy-go-lucky," was dressed as a serial killer.

Many dog owners joined their puppies in the fun and dressed up in matching costumes.

This year marks the 34th anniversary of the annual parade.

00:00You want cookies?
00:02He's like, yes, I do want a cookie.
00:04See, right there.
00:06Look, go look at him.
00:08Look at this.
00:10Yeah, it's hot.
00:14And I would have gotten away with the poop!
00:17He looks like he's coming.
00:19What is that, Lulu?
00:21Yeah, he's looking at me thinking I have another treat.
00:24Hi!
00:32Say hi, Cinderella!
00:34My name is really Ginger.
00:36I like Ginger.
00:38She's like talking into your mic.
00:40Say hello!
00:42Mwah!
00:44We are Cinderella.
00:46Right, Gingy?
00:48Look, look, look!
00:50Look, look, look!
00:52Look!
00:54Like Cinderella!
00:56That's it, that's it!
01:02I glued all the Swarovski crystals on the shoes.
01:06One by one.
01:08Why?
01:10A mother's love.
01:18Yay!
01:28It was a bit difficult, but we made it.
01:31We're here.
01:33They're stunning, they're gorgeous.
01:35They're living their best lives.
01:37Ari, say hi!
01:39Watch out, watch out!
01:41He keeps running into people.
01:43Ari, say hi!
01:45Yay!
01:47Ari, say hi!
01:53His name is Gremlin.
01:55He's rocking a Jesus jersey.
01:57We're representing the Yankees.
01:59We're going to sweep the Mets if we go on a subway series.
02:02He said it, not me.
02:04He said it.
02:18No, he loves Run-DMC, the music.
02:21He dances around the house a lot.
02:23So that's why he customized his shirt.
02:27He wanted to be part of the band.
02:47He's a chow-chow that we shaped like a lion.
02:57And the groomer did a phenomenal job.
03:00And I'm the zebra.
03:02He's the predator, I'm the prey.
03:08Because I don't believe he would let me shove him in a taco or any other costume.
03:13So I had to make it a part of him.
03:24She's really good with other dogs.
03:26So even when another dog barks at her,
03:28she kind of sits there quietly, looks at them patiently,
03:31never argues with anyone else.
03:33She's just a happy-go-lucky doggy.
03:37And she's a serial killer today.
03:40So watch out, she'll get you with her little knife.
03:46Hello!
