The Daily Bark has uncovered a huge-bust up after a Halloween costume mix-up involving Mr Bungle and his monkey.

In preparation for Halloween festivities, a change of mind by Mr Bungle has resulted in a rift in the previously unbreakable bond.

Mr Bungle's monkey told the Daily Bark: “It's always the same. Mr Bungle is my third rescue German Shepherd and he is just like the others.

When we get to this time of year it's always ‘yeah, yeah I wanna be Scooby Doo for Halloween and go solve mysteries.’

Luckily we have always lived in areas of high mystery density.

I always ask for confirmation in the run up but they are always sure, it's always Scooby Doo.

Easy…I always thought. It's just the collar and the id tag…done. But of course we get to the day itself and they change their minds. You wouldn't believe what I have been through over the years…” Moaned the monkey.

Preposterous

Mr Bungle's monkey was adamant that Mr Bungle's demands were outrageous. “How the hell am I meant to do that in less than a day. It's preposterous. Scooby Doo not good enough all of a sudden?”

From loveable Great Dane to Hungarian Serial killer. Too much to ask?

The Daily Bark discovered that Mr Bungle had indeed changed his mind and instead of Scooby Doo wanted to be Countess Elizabeth Báthory the notorious Hungarian noblewoman, serial killer, and brilliant choice for Halloween costume.

Spooky

On the left the real Scooby Doo and on the right Mr Bungle in his Scooby Doo Halloween costume. Note the spooky resemblance.

Countess Elizabeth Báthory Hungarian Noblewoman, bather in human blood, and one of the inspirations for both Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Mr Bungle’s Halloween costume.

We asked Andrea

The Daily Bark approached Andrea of Capel Ebenezer and witness to the bust-up for comment: “Oh my god are you still doing this. What do you want me to say? I don't know who Countess Báthory is…no it's not funny…or big…or clever, no matter how much you and your friends are giggling about it. There's a dishwasher there needs emptying and it ain't going to empty itself. Oh, hang on, that gives me an idea.”

Andrea shouts: ”Carl, Mr Bungle…there's a big mystery here. I think the dishwasher is haunted. You need to come empty it and have a look at it quickly before ectoplasm or something!”

When pressed further she would only make a gesture we believe is called the Andrea Jenkyns.

Mr Bungle would only say: “Am good boy gib treats.”
