Poisoned candy myths are urban legends about malevolent strangers intentionally hiding poisons, drugs, or sharp objects such as razor blades, needles, or broken glass in candy and distributing the candy in order to harm random children, especially during Halloween trick-or-treating. These stories serve as modern cautionary tales to children and parents and repeat two themes that are common in urban legends: danger to children and contamination of food.

  • Vergiftete Süßigkeiten zu Halloween (englisch Poisoned Candy Myths oder Poisoned Candy Scare) ist die urbane Legende, dass einige Süßigkeiten, die zu Halloween, als Teil des „Trick or treat“ (dt. meist übersetzt „Süßes oder Saures“) gereicht werden, entweder mit Gift vermischt wurden oder gefährliche Gegenstände wie Rasierklingen oder Scherben enthalten würden. Diese auf wahren Vorfällen basierende Legende hat sich hartnäckig gehalten, obwohl bisher lediglich ein einziger realer Fall bekannt wurde, der zudem von diesem Mythos beeinflusst war. (de)
  • Poisoned candy myths are urban legends about malevolent strangers intentionally hiding poisons, drugs, or sharp objects such as razor blades, needles, or broken glass in candy and distributing the candy in order to harm random children, especially during Halloween trick-or-treating. These stories serve as modern cautionary tales to children and parents and repeat two themes that are common in urban legends: danger to children and contamination of food. No cases of strangers killing or permanently injuring children this way have been proven. Commonly, the story appears in the media when a young child dies suddenly after Halloween. Medical investigations into the actual cause of death have always shown that these children did not die from eating candy given to them by strangers. However, in rare cases, adult family members have spread this story in an effort to cover up murder or accidental deaths. In other incidents, a child who has been told about poisoned candy places a dangerous object or substance in a pile of candy and pretends that it was the work of a stranger. This behavior is called the copycat effect. Folklorists, scholars, and law enforcement experts say that the story that strangers put poison into candy and give that candy to trick-or-treating children has been "thoroughly debunked". Worries that candy from strangers might be poisoned has led to the rise of alternative events to trick-or-treating, such as events held at Christian churches, police and fire stations, community centers, and retail stores. The primary risk to children's health and safety on Halloween is being killed by a car. (en)
  • Mitos permen beracun adalah legenda urban tentang para orang aneh yang memasukkan racun atau benda tajam seperti silet , jarum, atau pecahan kaca ke dalam permen dan membagikannya dalam rangka mencederai anak-anak secara acak, khususnya saat tradisi "kenakalan atau permen" pada hari Halloween. Cerita tersebut dijadikan sebagai peringatan terhadap anak-anak dan orang tua. Cerita tersebut mengulang dua tema yang umum dalam legenda urban: bahaya untuk anak dan kontaminasi makanan. (in)
