The 1 percent aren't exactly known for their sense of festivity and humor, but you'd never know that looking at some of the historic Murray Hill mansions close to O'Dwyer's decked out for Halloween.

Most of these neighborhoods are home to offices of expensive doctors and populated during the day by medical technicians and assistants who could never afford to live there.

Happy Halloween!
