Check Out The Amazing Scarecrows Lining The Streets Of Toms River, NJ

Halloween at the Jersey Shore is a really fun time of year; people get really into decorating and making sure they're outdoing their neighbors when it comes to having a spooky house.

Even restaurants get into the action. My wife and I were grabbing dinner at Caffery's over the weekend and were blown away by how nicely decorated the restaurant was. They had scary clowns, ghosts hanging from the bar, a larger-than-life pumpkin scarecrow, and Halloween lights, making the mood just right.
