Episode 68: Ronald Clark O'Bryan, The Man Who Killed Halloween

Halloween - the one night we celebrate sugar, scares, and suspiciously bad decisions. But in 1974, one Texas dad turned every parent's worse nightmare into a horrifying reality. Ronald Clark O'Bryan - later dubbed "The Man Who Killed Halloween" - murdered his own son with a poisoned Pixy Stick, and in doing so, murdered the innocence of Halloween itself. In this chilling episode, Lori and Tori dive into the real story behind O'Bryan's greed-fueled crime, how it ignited decades of fear over "poisoned candy", and why that myth still haunts suburban neighborhoods every October. Expect dark humor, Halloween-night atmosphere, and a healthy dose of sarcasm as your favorite spooky duo unravel the truth, debunk the panic, and remind you that the real monsters often live right next door.
