  • Halloween True Crime Trick or Treat Murder The Darkest Halloween Nights
    2025/10/10
    Raven Thorne explores Halloween's darkest nights, when costumes become disguises and darkness provides cover for predators. Nine-year-old Lisa French was murdered while trick-or-treating in nineteen seventy-three by neighbor Gerald Turner, who used Halloween chaos to conceal his crime. The episode examines how the Tylenol murders intensified candy fears, Detroit's Devil's Night arson epidemic, and Halloween party murders where killers hid among costumed crowds. Through analysis of crime statistics, forensic psychology, and decades of Halloween incidents, Raven reveals why this liminal holiday attracts violence, how masks enable deindividuation, and the delicate balance between celebrating tradition and protecting children from real dangers lurking behind festive facades.
