The Crypt Keeper's Festival of the Dead Parade was one of the four shows that were featured during Halloween Horror Nights VI. The parade route went down Hollywood Boulevard, up through the Plaza of the Stars and New York, and ended to the left of Louie's Italian Restaurant. The parade would alternate between Hollywood and New York as the start of the parade.
The parade ran 2-3 times every night and reportedly had five floats. The scareactors threw coins and beads into the crowd.
Description[]

Scareactors[]
- The Lord of Darkness
- Big Head Skeleton Stiltwalker 2x
- The Chainsaw Drill Team (Scareactors)
- The Cryptkeeper
Show[]
The parade started with the Chainsaw Drill Team. Stiltwalker scareactors were in between each float. One of these was a bare-chested man with a minotaur head and legs. Another was the Lord of Darkness. One float was a women tied down as a sacrifice, and another had a giant snakes head. Fire also blasted on the rooftops that went along with the music. There was a vampire float followed by skeleton stiltwalkers. The next float was a voodoo float followed by stiltwalkers inspired by the cenobites from the Hellraiser movies. Another float was one with a cemetery. There was also a giant zombie float near the end. At the very end of the show, was an undertaker character throwing ashes at guests. The Cryptkeeper was the Grand Marshall of the parade and he was on the final float. He sat in his directors chair with a megaphone in his float.
Another account of the show had The Cryptkeeper on the first float on a throne.
