the man who killed halloween

In 1974 on Halloween night, 6 children each received a pixie stick. These pixie sticks were filled with cyanide and sadly a boy named Timothy O'Bryan passed away after eating his. Who could do such a thing? What could have motivated this deadly plan? Listen now to see what the police thought and if you agree.

CANDYMAN 

Kait talks about that time when 1974’s father-of-the-year thought an urban legend was real, and would make the perfect cover for insurance fraud and filicide. Find out how much cyanide and depravity it takes to murder a small human child who trusts you. We don’t get into those other candymans (candymen?), but we’ve got ambivalent thoughts about the death penalty, half-hearted attempts at math and enough of wilhelms screams to fill yer boots. Remember to check your kid’s halloween candy for sad/weird modern superstitious reasons!
