RUMSON, N.J. (Oct. 29) -- Bruce Springsteen has nixed his annual Halloween display extravaganza at his New Jersey mansion thanks to "catastrophic success," the legendary rocker wrote on his Web site.

Springsteen and his wife, Patti Scialfa, say they won't be having their usual elaborate Halloween display featuring masked characters and decorations.

The 59-year-old rocker and his wife say too many visitors to their Rumson neighborhood raised concerns for the safety of children and parents.
