5 Terrifying Murders That Happened On Halloween

When we think of crimes committed on Halloween we tend to conjure images of maniacal strangers poisoning Halloween candy and putting razor blades in apples. While these fears normally exist firmly in the realm of urban legend, rarely being substantiated beyond a few isolated incidents involving family members, such as the infamous 1974 poisoning of Timothy O’Bryan, it hasn’t stopped many parents and children alike from developing serious trepidation around the spooky holiday.

However, this isn’t to say that serious crimes haven’t been committed on Halloween. Over the years the night has played host to a variety of brutal crimes, many of which are made all the more chilling due to their occurrence on a day already steeped in celebrations of all things terrifying.

Today, we wanted to take a look at some of the most terrifying murders ever to take place on Halloween. While there are undoubtedly plenty of stories we could have chosen for this list, we opted for just a handful that stood out to us. If there are others you think we should cover for a future video, let us know in the comment section below. Just a heads up, we have decided not to include the story of Timothy O’Bryan on this list. While it is without a doubt one of the most iconic Halloween murders ever to take place, we have covered it multiple times elsewhere on our channel and wanted to make sure we delivered as much new content as possible for returning viewers. If you haven’t heard about that case and would like to, don’t worry, we’ll link to it in the comments section below.
