Happy Halloween Lab Rats! We are spending some time in honor of the holiday to discuss Halloween Sadism, the worry and sometimes actuality that a stranger will tamper with the treats they hand out on Halloween causing harm to innocent trick or treaters. On this episode, Kendra discusses a few of the tales that fueled this fear including the main culprit, Ronald Clark O’Bryan who was convicted in the death of his own child using tainted candy and dubbed The Candyman or The Man Who Killed Halloween.
