The Struggle for a Safe and Sane Halloween 1920—1990

If the 1920s saw the emergence of Halloween as a genuinely North American holiday and one that was becoming something of a boon for shopkeepers and manufacturers, there remained the nagging problem of just how wild it would be. The concerns voiced by the Montreal Gazette in 1910 about the “unhallowed” character of Halloween were not ones that simply disappeared. In fact, the conventions of rascality that invigorated turn-of-the-century Halloween took a long time to die.

While youngsters would dress up in fancy costumes and masquerade in the streets, visiting houses for treats, their older brothers would indulge in a different kind of devilry. As the Star quite casually reported of one small town east of Toronto: “Hallowe’en spirit held full sway in Whitby last night. Many a citizen found his veranda furniture hanging from spikes on telephone poles, while a number of gates were removed and steps taken away.”

On a typical Halloween spree in interwar North America, fences were destroyed, signs and gates removed, roads barricaded, trolley cars immobilized, street lighting smashed, and outhouses tipped over. One eminent historian of Canada assured me that in his more youthful days in the 1930s he turned over as many as fourteen outhouses in one night of Halloween pranks.

In some places, manhole covers were removed from the streets and fake detour signs put up to harass motorists. Occasionally, traffic signals were tampered with to promote general confusion. Predictably, the new symbol of prosperity, the automobile, became the object of destruction.

Revelers soaped windows, deflated tires, and at busy intersections unceremoniously “bounced” cars, or rocked them from the back, to the discomfort of the passengers. In downtown areas, the police were on red alert on Halloween. Sometimes, special reinforcements were brought in to ensure that the jollity of the evening did not degenerate into widespread vandalism.

In Winnipeg during the Depression, “mobs of unruly youths and juvenile gangs” habitually gave the cops a “busy night. In 1933, it was reported that there “was a merry game of give and take, the milling mobs retreating and advancing as the pressure of police control surged and receded?’

The confrontations between the police and youthful revelers were generally good-natured. There were usually few arrests for damage to property. In 1932, the Vancouver Sun reported that the “humor of police officers was frayed by almost two hours’ continuous disturbances and yet some of the pranks were so irresistibly funny that even they had difficulty in keeping a serious face?’ As this quote suggests, the tone of the interwar press was seldom one of outright outrage. The Winnipeg Free Press talked of “jollity and hooliganism” or “jollity and horse play” when describing the antics of Halloween, and did not attribute to them any undergirding sense of urban malaise.
