SALEM, Mass. -- Halloween was in full-effect Saturday in New England, particularly in the "Witch City" of Salem.
The city drew close to 100,000 visitors for the festivities, which police say went on without any major issues.
The fact that the holiday fell on a Saturday this year (the last time was 1998), coupled with warm temperatures, meant more people out in Halloween hot spots like Salem.
There were plenty of Michael Jackson costumes on the streets as well as old favorites like Spiderman, Batman, witches and princesses.
