Terrifying & True | Poisoned Halloween Candy: Urban Legend, Panic, and Murder Oct 17, 2022

Show notes

Poisoned Halloween candy became an American urban legend despite a troubling gap between the familiar warning and documented crimes. Terrifying & True examines the deaths of Kevin Toston and Timothy O’Bryan, sociologist Joel Best’s research, and the media scares and hoaxes that helped keep parents checking wrappers. Real tragedies sit beside exaggerated claims, often pointing toward dangers closer to home than an unknown trick-or-treater’s neighbor. Why does the image of a stranger handing out poisoned sweets remain so powerful? We're telling that story tonight.
