What night was Mischief Night? I've never heard of it.
I think one can certainly blame trace trick or treating to the US, but other Hallowe'en things are relatively traditional in the UK. Agatha Christie wrote a Hallowe'en story about a child killed by apple bobbing or something equally gruesome and I think that was set in the 50's.
