Halloween Violence And Vandalism Were Once So Common That Authorities Even Considered Banning The Holiday

Don’t get me wrong, though. This is not to say that no tricks or pranks were ever pulled for Halloween thereafter.

Some children who wanted to cash in on both the “tricks” and “treats” opted to just move their shenanigans to Halloween Eve or October 30. But still, this newer tradition known as Mischief Night is much tamer than the pranks of the past.

Nowadays, teens might throw toilet paper into trees, egg houses, or spray shaving cream in yards.

And even though you might be annoyed to find your house “teepeed” or egged the next morning, at least most incidences of true danger have remained gone for good.
