When you think of Halloween, your mind likely conjures up images of tiny costumed witches and superheroes giggling as they run from house to house to gather as much candy as possible. But if you lived in the suburbs of Texas in the mid 70s, Halloween probably brings more grim imagery to mind.

If the Oregon Trail video game can be believed, the 19th century American frontier was a dangerous place.
