Come gather around the campfire and let me tell you about the creepy urban legend that has held fast throughout history. Is there any truth to the idea of strangers slipping poison or sharp objects to unsuspecting trick-or-treaters? Where did this idea come from? Why did your parents make you dump out your pillowcases and sort your candy haul every year? Let me walk you through the history of this idea and a few important cases related to it: an 1858 mix-up with deadly consequences, a Long Island housewife with a bitter grudge, the reason your Tylenol has a tamper-proof seal, a Japanese criminal organization with some vacation plans, and of course, the man who killed Halloween.

This episode takes a look at our history with candy, the desire and the panic, and explains why sweets have always been a source of fear for parents. Starting with the strange 1800s religious beliefs of Dr. Harvey Kellogg, about candy leading to sexual deviancy, we'll move through the goofy urban legends of the 1970s, to the 80s and 90s when people allegedly began finding dangerous objects in their foods, like syringes in Pepsi cans and poison in Halloween candy.
