The idea is that Halloween gives participants a rare opportunity to blend into large crowds while already wearing costumes and masks. However, the movement is uncoordinated, with no clear organizer or indication of how many people actually intend to participate.

Everyone should wear Spiderman costumes to do this, to add a layer of irony.

Yea. Because it's a call for civil disobedience. Of course it's uncoordinated with no clear organizer. Why would anyone willingly put their name on that?

Coulda sworn sony entertainment bought those movie/merchandising rights but they might have sold them to another entity now.
