The Pixy Stix Killer: How Ronald O'Bryan Weaponized Halloween
Halloween 1974 was supposed to be another night of trick-or-treating in Pasadena, Texas. Instead, it became the night that changed Halloween forever. When 8-year-old Timothy O'Bryan died from poisoned candy, investigators uncovered a twisted plot orchestrated by the one person who should have protected him most: his own father. Ronald O'Bryan didn't destroy Halloween by accident. He weaponized the holiday, turning a beloved childhood tradition into his personal murder weapon. This is the story of greed disguised as grief, a father's ultimate betrayal, and how one man's desperate scheme created fears that still haunt Halloween today.
