It seems Mischief Night is more common in the suburbs, Devil's Night in the inner city. Slight difference in approach also, Mischief Night participants are generally young kids and involves soaping car windows and TP'ing houses, Devil's Night participants are teens/young adults and instead set cars on fire and riot.
