Ronald Clark O'Bryan concocted the sick scheme sometime in the autumn of 1974 .

He was sick of being broke and wanted a more comfortable’ lifestyle.

O’Bryan was $ 100,000 large in the red and was about to have his vehicle repossessed.

He had taken out numerous life insurance policies on his two children.

Ronald Clark O’Bryan earned two macabre nicknames: The Man Who Killed Halloween and The Candy Man.

On March 31, 1984 , in the death house at Huntsville , he was executed via lethal injection.

One theory is that the killer used the lore-packed holiday as a ruse.
