" 'Make the night hideous' is a journalistic convention for referring to charivari. Charivaris almost always involve late-night house visits accompanied by an unmusical racket as well as traditional pranks or a demand for money. The ritual means - the actual tools and / or methods used to construct the practice - are consistent, despite the fact that earlier forms of charivari expressed disapproval and later ones approval of those they targeted" - from the Introduction. Book about Charivaris. Time Period 1881-1940. Publisher series: Canadian Social History Series. (Canada, Customs, History--Canada, Marriage, Social Behavior).
