Trick-or Treat-or-Die

On Halloween night in 1957, a group of children ran towards a brand new house in a suburban neighborhood outside of Los Angeles, California. This house had some of the best decorations on the street, and the kids all hoped the house would have the best candy, too. One of the children knocked on the front door, and a middle-aged woman in a witch hat and her husband opened the door and told the kids how great all of their costumes looked. The wife handed out a huge handful of candy to each of them, and they all said thank you – the candy really was as good as the decorations. The kids, giddy with excitement, ran towards the next house. But none of the kids saw the person in white make-up, red gloves, and a mask pulled down over half of their face quietly watching the woman in the witch hat talking to her husband in the doorway. And as the husband and wife walked back inside their house to restock their candy bowl, they had no idea this Halloween was about to turn truly horrifying. 🎧 Follow and listen to ALL of our podcasts from Ballen Studios - find them on Amazon Music, or wherever you get your podcasts! 🔊 A Twist of History 👉 https://ballen.lnk.to/atwistofhistory - New episodes every Wednesday 🔊 MrBallen Podcast: Strange, Dark and Mysterious Stories 👉 https://Wondery.fm/MBP - New episodes every Monday 🔊 MrBallen’s Medical Mysteries 👉 https://wondery.com/links/mrballens-medical-mysteries/?ol=am - New episodes every Tuesday 🔊 Redacted: Declassified Mysteries with Luke Lamana 👉 https://wondery.com/links/redacted/?ol=wnd~spot~ap~am - New episodes every Tuesday 🔊 Wartime Stories Podcast 👉 https://ballen.lnk.to/Fz9J66 - New episodes every Monday 🔊 Bedtime Stories 👉 http://apple.co/ballenbedtimestories - New episodes every Wednesday 🔊 RUN, FOOL! 👉 https://smarturl.it/RunFool 🔊 Late Nights with Nexpo 👉 https://ballen.lnk.to/latenightswithnexpo For 100s more stories like this one, check out our main YouTube channel just called "MrBallen" -- https://www.youtube.com/c/MrBallen If you want to reach out to me, conta
