Trick or treaters won't find the light on outside Bruce Springsteen's New Jersey mansion this Halloween.

The Boss and his wife, Patti Scialfa, say they won't be having their usual elaborate display that featured masked characters and decorations.

Writing on his Web site, Springsteen blames "catastrophic success."

The singer and his wife say too many visitors to their Rumson neighborhood raised concerns for the safety of children and parents.
