Many of us heard tales growning up, when we went trick-or-treating, but never knew the whole story. The idea of dangerously manipulated Halloween candy has been around since the 1970s and 80s, even earlier apparently. Join us as we talk about the persistent and horrific legend of Halloween sadism, which, sadly, has a serious basis in reality. We're going to need a part two, because there is a lot more information out there than is discussed in this episode.

This true-crime adjacent Halloween episode of Apokryphunk dives into the chilling history and urban legends of dangerous Halloween candy. Because this episode discusses themes of harm to children, it contains sensitive material that may not be appropriate for all audiences. Listener discretion is advised.
