Hello and welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the internet. I am your host, Rebecca
Felgate and last year… last YEAR … I brought you a video called the up to scariest tricks
or stories…I started the video wearing a spooky mask… but all I have in my desk today
is a clown wig. And yes, I do carry a clown wig in my desk…. Are you scared? Is this
scary? Are you terrified right now? No. okay. Anyway…. this is the much anticipated part
2 of the scariest trick or treat stories… because it is that time of year.
Before we get into this A – I want to ask you what you are dressing as for Halloween
this year, and B, I wanted to tell you about a new channel we have… so…we are translating
our channel into Hini! We have started the Top 10 Hindi where our Indian viewers can
enjoy videos
in their own language.
10 - Deadly Eggs Halloween eggings have actually lead to a
whole host of violence and even deaths over the years. In 2010, the New York Times claimed
that at least 24 people had been seriously wounded or killed in stabbings or shootings
that came about as a result of an egg toss in New York ALONE over the past 25 years.
So I am just going to talk about one particular incident here – this story comes from 1998
from the Bronx. Mr Jackson and his girlfriend were out picking up her 9 year old son from
a kids party. When they parked up the car, a group of teenagers threw eggs at the car.
The 21 year old man got out of the car to reprimand the kids. He told them they were
out of line and they took offense. An argument broke out and when Mr Jackson got back in
the car, a teen pulled a gun and shot him in the head, killing him instantly. Statistics
in the New York Times ay that almost all of the people involved in violence after egg
tossings are males. So… boys… maybe just put those eggs down and stop being idiots.
Cool.
9 - McDonalds Ouija Boards McDonalds is known to give out little treats
for kids in its happy meals, often these treats are seasonal – for example at Christmas
they are Christmassy. Well, one Halloween it seems McDonalds were giving out Ouija Boards
in their happy meals as treats for kids. A post on facebook showing the spooky happy
meal went viral when Amy Brundi posted SO excited for McDonalds' Halloween Happy Meal
this year!!! The post was shared 42 thousand times and people were seriously angry at the
fast food chain for bringing bad juju to their kids. The only thing was…well… it wasn’t
real! Amy’s post was a joke – she later edited it to emphasise it was a fun photoshop
job. She did post saying: But for those concerned with the future of our children, you might
want to march those pitchforks and torches right on over to Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Target,
etc - they all sell, *GASP*, OUIJA BOARDS!!! Millions of them a year! To anyone who wants
one! So… don’t be mad at Maccy Ds when your local toy store gives kids the ability
to contact the dead…and not just during promotional Halloween periods!
8 - Fat Shamers Imagine sending your kid off to trick or treat,
or being a kid doing the trick or treating and instead of getting some delicious candy
from kindly neighbours, you get a fat shaming letter written by a nasty neighbourhood wench.
I will say though, is it anything to call the police over? In my opinion – no! A woman,
identifying herself as Cheryl distributed letters to larger kids in her neighbourhood
in West Fargo North Dakota. When parents dug them out of candy bags, they found that they
said: Happy Halloween and happy holidays, neighbour! You are probably wondering why
your child has this note ; have you ever heard the saying: It takes a village to raise a
child? Your child is moderately obsese and should not be consuming sugar and treats this
Halloween. Eesh. Was this fair, or was this out of line.
7 - Nana Scarers Okay, so kids go out
on Halloween and are usually trusted to walk the neighbourhood with their friends. What
if your kids friendship group is toxic and instead of going around collecting treats,
they terrorize the neighbourhood. In 2015, a group of youths in Manchester, UK, went
trick or treating and when an elderly woman answered the door to give them sweets, the
gang hurled abuse at the woman, saying F you old nanna. They also called her the C word.
Sometimes people are too afraid to answer the door on Halloween because of the abuse
they get from unruly children.
6 - Sugar Skulls In October 2015, Police in Jackson Mississippi
posted an image on facebook of what looked like a whole bunch of sugary candy – little
skulls, colourful superman bites, dominos shapes treats, something blue with a snake
on it. I would expect a sugar high from consuming all if these, but it turns out there is a
different kind of high awaiting whoever ingests these bright little pills – and if you ate
more than one of them, you would likely die. These are dangerous narcotics and not candy
– as the police department pointed out in their post. Whether or no someone would actually
make the mistake of handing this kind of thing out is up for debate – these drugs are pricy.
If someone was hell bent on poisoning kids, there would be cheaper ways to be a psycho!
Website Snopes wrote that “The small collection of pills depicted here represents a street
value of hundreds of dollars, so the notion that a neighbor would be distributing them
to trick-or-treaters for no ostensible reason is rather implausible” – fair.
Okay, but what about this at number5 Marijuana Edibles.
This is a lollipop. This is a Marijuana infused lollipop. Can you tell the difference? Marijuana
is being legalised in more and more states and countries. It is legal in Canada where
I live and ways of consuming the herbal drug have evolved. People don’t have to smoke
pot anymore, they can eat it and a whole bunch of products have been put on the market, like
weed infused candy. While there are a lot of studies to show that legalization of pot
is a positive thing – you don’t want to accidentally go giving out drug gummies to
kids. The fear is increasingly strong after a kid in New Mexico bought a box of medical
marijuana candy to school and handed out the gummies to five of her friends.
4 - Abducted Girl In Texas in 2013 a 14 year old was kidnapped
and sexually assaulted while she was out trick or treating. The girl was out in her neighbourhood
when two men, 23 year old Eric Bonilla and 28 year old Daryl Wayne Mayberry lured the
girl into a van and held her captive for 10 hours in a house in Houston, Texas. The next
day, she walked to her school, where she was reunited with her worried parents. Both of
the men were arrested and charged with Aggravated kidnapping and sexual assault of a child.
3- Candy Rage The morning after Halloween night in 2011,
Maria Adams was killed in the Southside of Chicago over a dispute about a missing bag
of Halloween candy. The 49 year old was attacked when her 55 year old male friend accused her
of stealing a bag of candy from his home. The man became enraged and thought she was
lying about the missing sweets. It seems the candy was more important to the man than his
friends life as he stabbed her several times with steak knives. She was pronounced dead
at hospital and the man was charged with first degree murder. I have no words for this really…
like….. over a bag of candy?! I would say get a grip but clearly it is much deeper than
that!
2 - Taylor Van Diest On the night of October 31st 2011, a young
woman dressed as a zombie was abducted and killed as she left her house to go to a trick
or treating with her friend at a Halloween party. 18 year old Taylor Van Diest became
distressed on her walk to meet her friend. At first, her friend thought she was pranking
her when she text her to say she was being followed. When she didn’t show up to meet
her friend, she realised it was serious. A few hours later, Taylor was found still in
costume bleeding with severe injuries by the side of a railroad track in British Columbia
in Canada. The woman died in hospital and the town she was from was horrified. Eventual,
the perpetrator was arrested – a man named Matthew Foerster admitted that he had snatched
her with the intent to rape her, but the attack had gone wrong. The man was found guilty of
murder and is serving a life sentence.
I wanted to end the list on something scary that isn’t actually going to harm you or
kill you…. 1 - 17th Door – The Scariest Haunted House
in the World. Part of the Halloween and Trick or Treat Season
is the joy of going to a spooky haunted house. I recently went to an awesome one at Casa
Loma in Toronto which was terrifying. It seems though, the world has decided upon THE most
terrifying spooky house of them all. 17th Door is the psychotic brain child of Robbie
and Heather Luther. The pair opened up a haunted house in orange County California in 2015
and you have to sign a waiver before you go in…. and there is a safe word. The house
changes theme each year but the experience is immersive and actors will touch you…or
cut you. Derranged, disgusting and deplorable, the haunted house is designed for maximum
fear. The 2017 waiver claimed: if you sit in the barber chair, your hair WILL get cut.
If anyone was wondering what the safeword is – it is Mercy. Of the 25,000 visitors
17th Door had in 2015, 3,800 of them called Mercy, which is well in excess of one in 10
people. Could you handle it? I am not sure if
I would.
Comments from Scary Los Angeles Urban Legends the Vampires, they rarely talk about them.
