- diggpatt, on 10/10/2008, -4/+50This article is just a snopes.com page reformatted into a slideshow with some pictures of candy on each page.
- smartcause, on 10/10/2008, -1/+44If your kid gets into his uncle's heroin stash and dies, and you sprinkle some on his candy to protect the uncle...you are a terrible parent/human being. Terrible isn't strong enough...can we invent a new word for how bad that is?
- acmaurer, on 10/10/2008, -1/+41Anyone get pennies? Gah - I HATED getting pennies.
- squishee, on 10/10/2008, -1/+37Way to misspell "heroin" three times, Chicago Tribune.
- ohnoerino, on 10/10/2008, -1/+28When I was a kid there were plenty of people still giving out caramel apples and popcorn balls...not anymore!
- gelato822, on 10/10/2008, -2/+26only worth it for the last story
- MommaLu, on 10/10/2008, -4/+26Do you know how many times a parent has found razor blades in apples or any other fruit?
Answer: 0
It was all hype to get parents to buy packaged candy. The big candy companies played a profitable trick on parents that Halloween. - LongShlong, on 10/10/2008, -0/+20Nothing is quite as cool as watching a kid take a big old bite out of a caramel covered onion.
- forcedfx, on 10/10/2008, -1/+20Ass pennies are even worse!
- 3gibberish4q57, on 10/10/2008, -0/+16DAMN YOU, BIG CANDY!
- DjOverEZ, on 10/10/2008, -0/+16I always knew most of these stories were ***** simply due to the fact that it would make absolutely no sense to waste perfectly good drugs on some random kid.
- inactive, on 10/10/2008, -1/+17Stephen Lynch said it best:
"Letting the children inside to drink beers,
Razor blades hidden in three musketeers,
Screams from the basement of kids begging to be set free,
That's what Halloween means to me." - davidrools, on 10/10/2008, -1/+16-if a 5 year old can find your heroin, you're not hiding it very well
-if a 5 year old USES your heroin...wtf? - forcedfx, on 10/10/2008, -0/+14Those were called Roofies. During that time, your sister had her way with you. It only *seems* like it was minute.
- zyl0x, on 10/10/2008, -4/+17Oh no! He's telling the truth! Quick, BURY HIM!
- Goochman, on 10/10/2008, -1/+14I remember my parents going through my bag as a kid - turns out it was a way for them to take out some of the good candy without us knowing. It is a lesson I carry forward today with my kids.
I do remember some folks going to the ER to xray their bags to make sure nothing was in there.
From the comment above - thank god no more popcorn balls, pennies or ack toothbrushes.........We have a neighbor that puts out a bowl filled with old matchbox cars............ - lukegravitt, on 10/10/2008, -1/+12Dude 1: "Want some gum?"
Dude 2: "Sure. Thanks!"
Dude 1: "Haha, that was trick gum. Now, you're addicted to heroin."
Dude 2: ".... so cold." - wlfldy, on 10/10/2008, -0/+9What they didn't tell you was those were probably chocolate covered raisins before they gave them to you. ;-)
- inigomntoya, on 10/10/2008, -0/+7Wow - cheap bastards!
- NJank, on 10/10/2008, -1/+8the pennies were for throwing at cars as you walked around the neighborhood.
- tombomb, on 10/10/2008, -1/+7How bout getting that damn horrid fruit candy in your bag? That is a horror story! That cheaply made candy tasted so bad.
- FreshPineSent, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6Lucky bastards.
- Cozmcphish, on 10/10/2008, -4/+10Killing is wrong. And bad. There should be a new, stronger word for killing. Like badwrong, or badong. Yes, killing is badong. From this moment, I will stand for the opposite of killing: gnodab.
- SpeedStix, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6I would of loved to be that postal worker. Imagine how many cool things those guys find if certain letters don't get sent.
- inigomntoya, on 10/10/2008, -0/+6Spelled just like its pronounced: herion
I guess they are using Notepad to publish now? - nofx1510, on 10/10/2008, -1/+7Well what do you expect look at the Chicago Public School System.
- sarahbara, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5nothing could be worse than getting raisins, except maybe Thrills gum (tastes like soap).
- TBombadil, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5how is getting bud for Halloween a horror story? i would be so ***** happy
- lunachique, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5Or those black and orange death taffy kisses. Blargh!
- TehProphet, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5number 6 is no horror story, that would be the be the perfect treat for halloween.
- somekid413, on 10/10/2008, -0/+5#6 - Best Halloween ever.
- MrMysterious, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4I'd rather have razor blades in apples than some churchy people passing out Jesus books or books why I should repent my sins.
- tehphoberer, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4"Horror" story? More like pipe dream.
...
literally? - timbuckets, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4Not nearly as bad as the human poo someone in Alberta was giving out!

(Sorry I can't find the original story) - inactive, on 10/10/2008, -1/+5Good story.
- kolyana, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4I was thinking about giving out Caramel apples this year - as a kid I loved them - but I don't know if they parents would be all suspicious and just throw them away or not.
- slickrocktrail, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4One year, I was trying to look like a mobster so I wore an older suit and hat. I looked like I just wore a ***** suit and old man hat (which I didn't wear most of the time). People just asked me why I wore a suit?
- lis880, on 10/11/2008, -0/+4Your sister is/was a bitch
- inigomntoya, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4Yeah, I was fooled. I thought for sure this was going to be funny stories about the neighborhood dentist filling your bag with toothbrushes (with his office's contact info conveniently placed on the handle), the old lady that handed out raisins, or the wierd-o religious folks who handed out bibles.
Buried for that. Oh yeah, double bury for the slide show and misspelled words (herion?) - bagboyrebel, on 10/10/2008, -1/+5On my street we used to have a neighbor who made candy for a living, so it was usually pretty good. But after he moved away we got a family that gave out religious pamphlets instead. That was a true horror story.
- Whackly, on 10/10/2008, -0/+4badong
- SlapTard, on 10/10/2008, -1/+4Actually, I believe Glenn Danzig said it best:
"Candy apples and razor blades
Little dead are soon in graves
I remember halloween
This day anything goes
Burning bodies hanging from poles
I remember Halloween" - Scalpels, on 10/11/2008, -0/+3Dugg for Kung Pow reference.
- cptshamrock, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3Any ever get Wax Lips? Those were the worst.
- s0nicfreak, on 10/11/2008, -0/+3I thought that said penises
- deefuzz, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3I remember my folks having to examine my candy when I got home from trick or treating. I heard the razor blades, needles, and poisons thing every year.
The only thing I was ever wary of was whenever I would come across candy without a wrapper, but that was more the fact that someone's dirty grubby hands were all over something I would be eating. - wiiwendy86, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3It was stories like this that forced me to go to the safe houses in the retirement community. All they ever handed out were raisins, nature's candy my ass.
- inigomntoya, on 10/10/2008, -0/+3Oh, there are worse things. Did you ever get toothbrush or floss?
- Ramble, on 10/10/2008, -0/+2Man would that be funny to see.
- DarwinBC, on 10/10/2008, -1/+3WTF where are my pot filled snickers. Damn kids get it all these days
