'''Ronald Clark O'Bryan''' (October 19, 1944 – March 31, 1984), nicknamed T'''he Candy Man''' and '''The Man Who Killed Halloween''', was an American man convicted of killing his eight-year-old son on Halloween 1974 with a potassium cyanide-laced Pixy Stix that was ostensibly collected during a trick or treat outing. O’Bryan poisoned his son in order to claim life insurance money to ease his own financial troubles as he was in $100,000 debt. O’Bryan also distributed poisoned candy to his daughter and four other children in an attempt to cover up his crime; however, neither his daughter nor the other children ate the poisoned candy. He was convicted of capital murder in June 1975 and sentenced death. He was executed by lethal injection in March 1984.
