Episode description

Every Halloween, a familiar warning resurfaces—beware of tampered treats from strangers. But where did this chilling urban legend come from, and is there any truth behind the tales of poisoned candy, razor blades in apples, or needles in chocolate bars? Think you know the facts? You might be in for a surprise. In this episode, we trace the myth’s eerie origins—from Victorian-era fears to the unsettling story of the “Candyman” in Texas. Join us as we separate fact from fiction and reveal why this myth refuses to die. Tune in, if you dare, as we explore the dark side of the sweetest night of the year.
