More Halloween pranks? OK!

Fail Army is a great place on the YouTube for costume and Halloween fails from all over

Let's have a look. The Trick to Treat ratio is high here...

Open your windows, put a speaker in the window, then turn your lights off

Gold. Now turn this up and watch the people on the street.

For any of you Blockheads sitting in the pumpkin patch tonight

Some proper music to do it by.

OK kids, Johnny's ready for you!

Where are Johnny's manners? He hasn't asked about Halloween parties and costumes

Halloween is one of Johnny's favorite holidays. It's just good fun for the most part. Children have fun. Adults have different kinds of fun. So Jersey City, where are all the Halloween parties you're going to and the big question, what are you going as?

We have a fully functioning comments section for such questions...

Happy Halloween!

Johnny's been so busy today getting the house ready to receive the kids and then get ready to get dressed up for the first time in years and hit a couple parties and the big Newark plaza event tonight. We may check in before the Scoreboard Show with another Halloween fun clip but if not have fun tonight and be safe and fabulously spooky.

OK Jersey City, the question now goes out

What are you going as for Halloween? Johnny's going to be a character from a 1970's movie.

Hey kids, as tasty as this candy bar may be...

...make sure mom or dad get a look at it first. We're sure milk chocolate from Uranus is a wonderful candy. What's not to love? Oh yeah. Years ago AYDS "diet candy" met an untimely end because of the name. We are however rather certain that chocolate candy from Uranus doesn't have the magic elixir phenylpropanolamine – a substance the FDA has now ruled “not recognized as safe” in it.

Another creepy Halloween destination

If you ever find yourself in Stowe Vermont and you head across Emily's Bridge don't be surprised if in the middle of the covered bridge your lights and engine cut out. Don't believe Johnny? It's happened before. Some people report scratches to themselves or their vehicles.

So if you ever are in Stowe make sure to take a trip across Emily's Bridge, if you're not too scared that is.

Happy Halloween from all of us here at the Jersey City Desk!

So let's get right to it shall we? It's Bobby "Boris" Pickett and the Crypt Kicker Five with the classic 'Monster Mash.'  A full day of fun, music and scary surprises coming up here today at "The Desk."

What was the best candy to get at Halloween when you were a kid?

Johnny Tweeted out the pic below telling the good children of Jersey City he was ready for them tomorrow. Johnny always overstuffs the proverbial candy buckets because it's just tougher to trick-or-treat anymore. Where it's not been outlawed it's been severely curtailed. You show up at Johnny's door and you better know a good dentist.

So tell us dear readers, what were your favorite types of treats to get on the holiest of candy nights? Candy not being smushed under a small pumpkin is not the correct answer.

So Jersey City, what are you gonna be for Halloween?

We realize many of you have been planning and or working on your costumes for weeks if not months, while others may have an idea and yet others who have no good idea what or whom to be. Johnny knows what he's going to be and while he has the size part down for the character he still is waiting on a couple props to arrive via UPS. So tell us your costuming plans and if you follow this handy link you'll see who Johnny's going to be, yes, the male character.

On this Halloween we have a VERY important question to ask our readers...

...ready?

What is the scariest movie of all time (And we'll allow you to pick two and see if we have any duplicates)? Drop of those spooky answers in comments.

First off, Happy Halloween!!

We'll have some Halloween fun today for sure but please, if you can help out in your city, be it Jersey City or Hoboken or Bayonne or NYC or wherever, please do. If you have power this morning you have it better than some of your neighbors. Look in on them, invite them over. Showers and a place to charge electronics can really help make a difference.

With that, it's Johnny's favorite Halloween band The Flametrick Subs and the 'Pride O' Texas'!

It's beginning to look a lot like Halloween around town...

...and nowhere more than the Hamilton Park neighborhood. A morning walk over that way on this phenomenal fall day showed people all ready for All Hallow's Eve. It looks good on you Hamilton Park!

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow

Turn down the lights, get a cup of a hot drink and follow this link to read the best Halloween story of all time, Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.

More Ghosties on Halloween

Happy Halloween from the Jersey City Desk!

We'll be running the scariest of scares all day long to help get you in the mood for trick-or-treating or the big Halloween parade in the West Village tonight.

How about we start off with a shifty shadow figure at the Moon River Brewery

Halloween at Grove St. this afternoon

A few shots of some awesome kids in Jersey City in some awesome costumes...
