Thanks for listening to my Halloween rant. Here’s this week in Pandemonium.
September 23, 1959—Pandemonium is connected to the Interstate System for the first time. Pandemonians celebrate by getting on the road, unfortunately leading to three car accidents in one day.
September 24, 1920—Pandemonium residents bury a time capsule under Cramner University campus. This time capsule is uncovered 100 years later. The capsule contained a rotary phone, a World War I infantry uniform, and a dead rabbit, the apparent victim of the pre-1963 Satanic ritual.
September 25, 1778—Leader of the Witch militia, Micah White, surrenders to British forces and is held prisoner in England. Initially set to be executed, White is set free in a prisoner exchange after his jailers are suddenly struck mute.
September 26, 2012—Actress Hayley Fairwell, Pandemonium native, is sentenced to one day in prison after slapping a police officer trying to give her a parking ticket. While the Court initially considered probation, Fairwell was eventually given a harsher sentence after she stormed out of the courtroom during closing arguments.
September 27, 1972—Pandemonium Follies airs on CBS. A show set in Pandemonium about a mixed family of Strangers and Witches, Follies was concocted by networks executives after as a decade of horror and condemnation of the Witches by Christian leaders turned into curiosity on the part of the American public. Follies goes off the air after three episodes, largely due to mediocre writing.
September 28, 1934—Inspired by other famous brigands like Machine Gun Kelly and John Dillinger, Larry Liebowitz attempts to rob the First Bank of Pandemonium this fateful night, armed with a tommy gun. Alas, Liebowitz forgets the phase of the moon and transforms during the robbery. As a wolf, Liebowitz paws the door a few times and falls asleep before being taken to the pound.
September 29, 1861—Pandemonium is momentarily captured by union troops during the Civil War before being retaken, leading several slaves to flee. Those now emancipated Fieldhands are taken to Port Royal to be part of the Port Royal experiment.
