night before Halloween

[Lois Nathan]

This response is a little late, but in Cincinnati the 30th was called "damage
night".  That was for all the pranks described in this list.  We also had
"penny night" the night before that.  We went out with our bags or cups and
knocked on doors yelling "penny night" and collected money.  I'm not sure
what the justification for that was, but it was a pretty good deal.
