On his website, Bruce Springsteen has offered up a video download of "A Night of the Jersey Devil" as a Halloween surprise.

It's an homage to the creature that supposedly has lurked in the Pine Barrens section of New Jersey for hundreds of years. Springsteen's head arises from the swamps and then the Garden Stater goes straight into preacher-mode. Definitely worth a look-see.

Springsteen also posted that the usual spooky display in front of his house that has annually drawn hundreds of visitors wouldn't happen this year. He wrote:

"So as not to inconvenience you this Halloween, due to 'catastrophic success' (read: too many visitors for the neighborhood to handle) and concern for the safety of kids and parents! we won't be having our usual Halloween display this year in Rumson."

As for other Springsteen news, he's been rather low-key during this presidential campaign in comparison to 2004. A staunch Democrat, he recently played a few acoustic numbers at a voter registration drive near Philadelphia, but has chosen to avoid big benefits in arena-sized halls.
