Sybil Bruncheon’s “Hollywood’s Hysterical Histories!”…

Seen here is a rare photo of Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe, secretly visiting the set of GODZILLA (1954) on the first day of shooting. She had been in private negotiations with the director Ishirō Honda about starring in the film, but he carefully explained to her through translators that the only American in it would be a male reporter to be played by Raymond Burr. Apparently, Monroe laughed merrily and said “NO, Silly!!” She wanted to play the title character… GODZILLA! She revealed she had been coached for months by her mentor Lee Strasberg and had stayed overnight at the Cuddly Critters Petting Zoo … in their iguana cage! The staff, again patiently, granted that although she was quite convincing at stepping on toy skyscrapers in slow motion and roar-honking loudly on cue, she was still too attractive to play a dinosaur… even if she DID stop using moisturizer. She was devastated and returned to America heartbroken. She immediately married baseball legend Joe DiMaggio. Who she claimed “looks a lot like Godzilla, especially when he just gets out of the shower!”…

Sybil Bruncheon’s 31 Days of Halloween: Size doesn’t matter?...

Breaking News From the CNN News Desk: Former president Trump, in an effort to prove his "great and unmatched wisdom" and normal-sized hands, submitted himself to a mysterious Ukrainian scientist, Dr. Подих Пеніса, for help. Villagers near Dr. Пеніса's castle report deafening explosions, flashes of lightning, and loud barnyard sounds. Details of the doctor's experiments have been sketchy at best, and at worst, most disturbing. Apparently, some preliminary experiments were tried out on the president's cabinet members first with horrifying results. Hundreds of villagers and local military members have taken to the hills with torches, pitchforks, and rocket launchers to locate the president and subdue him if necessary, after reports of him drowning and even eating children, various house pets, and unattended Hummels. Details at 6. Mittens at 11.

Sybil’s “31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN”…. Another foray into Science Fiction!

Another chance to rehabilitate my blacklisted career came when I was asked to be in TARGET EARTH (1954). It always fascinated me that the robot in this film was constructed from a giant Kleenex box and two Electrolux vacuum cleaner hoses.... If nothing else, after invasion from outer space, one’s house would be thoroughly clean and germ free....  But poor Richard Denning!!! Forced to spend the 1950s fighting off Kleenex-Box robots, giant black scorpions, three-eyed atomic monsters, and fish-man creatures in black lagoons, ....and when he finally gets a chance with Deborah Kerr in AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER (1957), she throws him over for Cary Grant! Talk about jilted!!!!

Sybil Bruncheon’s “31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN!”…. My Science Fiction Career!

I was offered the female lead in the film THEY CALL ME MRS. GORILLA-ROBOT-THING FROM URANUS (1956) as a way to "rehabilitate" my career after the Hollywood Blacklisting scandals....but I just couldn't! I said it would be better to be thought of as a left-wing sympathizer and work as a late-night cashier at the Piggly Wiggly than to be carried screaming into a pie-tin flying saucer by a giant dust-bunny! ...on the other hand, I DID miss the opportunity to do scenes in FRONT of the camera (and in my dressing room!) with a shirtless George Nader. Poor George, he was gratuitously undressed through much of the ten day filming schedule... most of it in a roadside motel...or in the alley in back! Yes, I can read your minds.... "classy"....

Sybil Bruncheon's "31 DAYS OF HALLOWEEN": Curtain UP!

...Hey Facebook Friends! Aren’t sure what you’re doing on the evening of the 31st yet, but you don’t want to be home for Trick-or-Treaters??...well, the Shubert Organization and a posse of producers are proud to present a special new play to premiere that very night; PRIVATE LIVES…ON URANUS!! The new interpretation of the Noël Coward classic will feature the regular characters, Amanda, Victor, and Sybil, but the character of Elyot has been replaced by a suave yet psychotically dangerous and petty robot… his behavior, alternately murderous and then gossipy and condescending, (with a cigarette holder!) vexes the other lovers and eliminates the servants one-by-one. A frayed extension cord, a sudden Spring shower, and a stale scone bring the riotously funny and frightful horror-comedy to a very satisfying close…albeit in an oxygen-free atmosphere at -276°F….

Concerning Stephen King:

Concerning Stephen King: His movies always strike me as either the best or the worst movies.... I adore THE GREEN MILE (1999), STAND BY ME (1986), DOLORES CLAIBORNE (1995), THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION (1994)...... but so many of the others strike me as ...well, amusing but tacky sideshow tents at a two-bit carnival that's rolled into town for a rainy weekend... some thrills, some chills, some giggles ..and then it’s stumbling off through the mud to the tilt-a-whirl, a drooping paper cone of flaccid cotton candy, and the ring-toss booth for a stained kewpie doll. And the titles! THE ENRAGED FRIENDSHIP BRACELET (1978), MRS. CHARNER’S VERY BAD BROWNIES (1981), WISHFUL OBJET D’ARTE (1983), THE GRUMPY MARY-KAY LADY (1987), THE ELDERLY MAN WHO WORE MILDEWED GYM SHORTS (1989), THE SPOON THAT TURNED INTO A FORK (1990), and SPANXIE & THE WET BALL OF YARN (1991)…..(jeeesh!) 

And sadly, I’ve also noticed that NONE of the Stephen King films that I appeared in were on any Best Films list….. THE REALLY ANGRY SUNBEAM TOASTER (1985), HE THAT LIMPS AND CLEARS HIS THROAT (1987), MURIEL DESATNICK AND HER NOTIONS COUNTER OF SNARKINESS (1994), and of course, THE CLUTTERED NIGHT STAND WITH THE DRAWER THAT REMAINED STUCK (1995)…
