The grand finale to a month of Halloween madness in Salem.
Fireworks, concerts, costume contests, and a whole lot of tourists: it was the grand finale to Salem's Haunted Happenings. For all things spooky in Salem this month, head back to the Halloween 2011 topic page. Are you happy this chaotic season is over, or are you already looking forward to next year? Let us know in the comments.
A look at the culmination of Haunted Happenings festivities through the eyes of the Salem Police Department and participating agencies.
On Halloween night, officers from various agencies served as a united force with the Salem Police to keep residents and visitors safe on the final night of Haunted Happenings activities. We had the opportunity to view the evening from the perspective of Salem's officers. Watch our video for a look at the evening from beginning to end. We started at the department's 4 p.m briefing in which Chief Tucker swore in officers from other departments as honorary Salem Police officers and ended when the Plymouth County Mounted Unit guided the final revelers out of the city. For more on how the evening was organized, read our article, here. A special thank you to the Salem Police Department for a behind the scenes look at the evening.
It's Nov. 1 — this image caught at the tail-end of Haunted Happenings festivities seemed like the perfect analogy for the end of the spooky season.
Welcome to photo of the day. When we have a standout photo, we'll share an image that caught our attention here. Have any suggestions or photos of your own to share? Email Editor Aubry Bracco. Nov. 1, 2011 On Oct. 3, we ushered in Haunted Happenings with this Photo of the Day and a "change of atmosphere." Today, we usher it out with this one. We caught this image of a forgotten mask Monday night while covering the Halloween celebration with the Salem Police. This mask was found in the crosswalk just outside Engine House Pizza. Only one more year to go until Halloween!

Essex Street Dental participates in national Halloween Candy Buy Back program to raise cavity awareness and bring the spirit of Halloween to U.S. troops oversees.
Halloween candy — two inseparable words that inspired a national effort to raise cavity awareness. On Nov. 1, as peace returns to the cobblestones of Salem, Essex Street Dental Medicine will host a Halloween Candy Buy Back event to exchange excess candy for cash and flashing toothbrushes. "Kids today can rake in four to five pillowcases of candy nowadays. The quantity is obscene. There's no need for that kind of excess. By picking out favorites to last a couple weeks, instead of tossing the rest, kids can put it to a legitimate use," says Jeffrey Casiglia DMD. The goal is to collect at least 250 lbs ($1/lb) of candy to be sent to U.S. troops oversees along with tooth brushes, flossing kits and personal notes created by those who attend …
