Sybil Bruncheon’s 31 Days of Halloween... “a fixer upper”…

… ah, yes... the famous Hexter home in Perrysburg, Ohio... it started out as a sweet little three bedroom, two and a half bath in suburbia, and was transformed generation to generation with one addition after another into an odd pseudo-French chateau... with a thirteen car garage... and seven disgruntled and pretentious ghosts!

Sybil Bruncheon's "My Merry Memoirs... A case of mistaken identity!"...

Ah, yes... that particular day when my identical twin sister Dagmar tricked our poor little brother Cecil into riding on her tricycle to O'Grady's Exotic & Extraordinary Candy and Delicacies Emporium... I believe this is the terrible moment when he finally realized it wasn't ME doing the driving, but rather psychotic Dagmar. You can clearly see that there are pedestrians filled with terror and that an alarmed policeman is trying to flag her through the intersection without incident. Later on, it was revealed that she had already run a trolley of commuters off a bridge, and a bus load of innocent children down a ravine and into a fiery catastrophe...

Sybil Bruncheon's "Halloween Parties of Yesteryear... Waterville, Ohio - 1961...

Seen here is Henry Parkilton at his home at 1245 Friendly Farms Road. Henry always preferred clown costumes at Halloween time, especially when he was going to a really great party like the ones Myer Wasserstrom's parents would throw. Last year he came as Emmett Kelly, but too many of the children just thought he was some hobo from Cankur Corners down by the railroad tracks. So this year he asked his parents to buy him a really good Bozo the Clown costume... at Stynkleton's Department store! And Henry added some of his Mom's make-up to the mask. No "hobo" for him this year. He couldn't wait to show Myer!... and see what make-up Myer had put on Casper the Friendly Ghost's face.

Sybil Bruncheon's "Halloween Parties of Yesteryear... Ashtabula, Ohio - 1954...

Seen here is the party thrown by Phil and Carol Marie Fassbender for their daughter Cecily. Cecily's classmates worked very hard on their costumes and were thrilled to know there would be a contest with prizes. Seen here (from left to right) are Becky Tomkins as Dale Evans, Marvin Rorick as Satan, Kip Magster as Bugs Bunny hit by a car, Harry Stent as a drunk hit by a car, Pat Fromme as Dirty Jack the Pirate, and little Cecily herself as a Scottish Slut. Clearly, there was no adult supervision while the children made their costumes. It also wasn't clear who burned down the Fassbender's home later that evening with the exploding pumpkin.

Sybil Bruncheon's "Halloween Parties of Yesteryear... Wauseon, Ohio - 1958...

Seen here is the Halloween party held in the home of Frank Blunt, the founder of Blunt's Aluminum Siding Repair and Replace Service on the corner of Zachary Taylor Way and Buckeye Blvd. The costumes included (from left to right) Stabbo the Clown, Mysterious Mahatma Momby, Señor Smirky, and Marion Davies. Although over 60 people had been invited, only these four guests showed up along with Perky, Edith Blunt's mix-breed chihuahua/Labrador cleverly disguised as Donald Duck. That's Edith Blunt in the lower left just seconds after she sprained her ankle roller-skating around the basement as Sonja Henie. Frank is taking the photo. With only four guests, the costume contest was canceled. Everyone went home with three pounds of candy corn... at 8:30... Perky threw up most of his...

Sybil Bruncheon's "Who Said What?"...

Pick your favorite caption:

1)  "I HAVE chosen my Hallowe'en costume! I'm going to the party as a Caesar Salad.... hand me those damn croutons!!!… and light on the dressing!"

2)  Consider me a “hand-washable”, and PLEASE! NO bleach or softener.

3)  Now that I’ve finished off all the gold fish, my therapist says I’m identifying with my victims.

4)  I love hiding in the china cupboard and jumping out at my humans at the last minute. They can’t see me!

5)  So now I don’t leave my hair anywhere that a lint brush can’t fix… well… with a little Windex.

6)  This is the way I remind them I want some more Häagen-Dazs!… Vanilla!! 

7)  I didn’t mind the name “Fluffy” so much… but “Mr. Poofter”, “El Linto”, and “Dust Bunny” were out of the question!

Sybil Bruncheon’s 31 Days of Halloween: If We Could Talk to the Animals…

Although it's well known that I LOVE animals... I fear that Satan is somehow involved in these inter-species interactions...

I heard of a goat that recited prime numbers this past weekend at a Jams & Jellies Fair in a suburb of Topeka... and a Toledo woman found a three-headed tadpole in her pond that looked like Herbert Hoover, J. Edgar Hoover, and a Hoover vacuum cleaner… (or was it Nancy Kissinger, Maria Ouspenskaya, and Betty Crocker?)...

And in Crencher Corners, Idaho, a nice lady woke up this morning with a rooster in her bed that arranged corn kernels to spell out the word "Zkerjazlldy"... or possibly "Moo"? Unfortunately she had screamed and rumpled the sheets and was trying to figure out what she actually saw when the rooster’s cigarette ignited the drapes and the fire department finally burst in... even as the four horsemen of the apocalypse were dining at a local café table... and dancing the "Apo-CALYPSO"… with their horses!!

… so much for a friendly chat with NON-humans… even with my cat over sardine sandwiches and tea at breakfast!
