Boxed Nightmares "After Midnight" tabloid question

Unread post by Jeffrey W. »

This question is meant only for the most dedicated of Palladium's fans:

In 1990, (a few years following my graduation from Elston High School), Palladium Books releases a Beyond the Supernatural sourcebook called "Boxed Nightmares".

With it came a source material spoof tabloid titled "After Midnight", which on page 5 has a half page photograph of a lady whose real life name is Mrs. Carol Bell, who worked for the Michigan City Area Schools system with the administration staff at Elston High School, Michigan City, Indiana.

What I desire to know is, how did her picture come to be in a Palladium RPG (not that she would mind), and taken/submitted by whom?

Sincerely,

Jeffrey W.

I thought that was a photo of Maryann.

It's not Maryann, but she might possess the answer

No, that isn't Maryann, although I suspect she might know who submitted the photo, even if she didn't know who's picture it was, or where the photo was taken at.

I often wonder if one of my high school classmates had connections with Palladium Books, and perhaps I didn't know it.

But keep guessing, this is a mystery to me as well.

That lady is Ruth Dombrowski from Dearborn Michigan. Sorry not Ms. Bell.

At the time that picture was taken Ruth was our Sales Associate and my Quasi Assistant.

the resemblance is uncanny

Thanks for clearing up that mystery, Maryann.

Every person seems to have a double (doppleganger? changeling?) in life, and I happen to know Ruth Dombrowski's.

I believe you, but I still can't believe my eyes when I look at that photo. I might just have to get the assistance of somebody with a scanner to help me to post a 1980's photo of Ms. Bell, just to prove my point.

Sincerely,
