Protecting the Porch: Halloween Prank Horrors

Send a message to Monica and Olivia!

Long before candy and costumes, Halloween was a night of chaos. Young people looked forward to a night of unbridled rebellion while responsible property owners feared for their livelihood. Halloween was a night of anything-goes and, unfortunately, anything went far too often. Townsfolk and police officers simply had to brace themselves and wait for October to pass. What they'd wake up to in the morning was anyone's guess. The real question was whether or not there would be enough room in the hospitals and morgues come November 1st.

Listen in as we reveal the shocking history behind this family-friendly holiday that once terrorized North America! 

This time we were able to fit in 5 vintage ads:

• Kleenex
• Newbro's Herpicide "The Original Remedy that kills the Dandruff Germ."
