Episode notes
In the 1920s, Halloween was particularly in urban America. It was all about pranking and particularly interesting is that there was a little bit of a class struggle element to it. By the 1950s, the distribution of candy is especially popular. So the treats were introduced to quell the tricks. The treats have become this source of hysteria.
