It’s Halloween year-round at the east Kansas City lair of musician John Bersuch.

The musician, who plays various instruments in a long list of bands that includes Bacon Shoe, Thee Water Moccasins and Sex Police, moved from a West Bottoms loft to this 1925 two-bedroom house four months ago.

Bersuch brought along his chillingly extensive collections of musical instruments and horror memorabilia.

There are spooky things everywhere you look. Vulture statues guard the bedroom door. A skinned Furby, one of dozens of creepy toys Bersuch owns, stares blankly out of a hutch in the spare bedroom. There’s a very convincing-looking mummy on the floor of the mudroom.

The kitchen, with its pink walls and cute retro appliances, appears at first to be the only room unpolluted by Bersuch’s twisted taste. But look on the wall by the sink: There’s a detailed scientific drawing of badly diseased eyeballs. How appetizing.

Bersuch has a knack for creeping people out. When he lived in the West Bottoms, he became known for constructing elaborate haunted houses for his friends every year around Halloween.

“I like to make it feel like you enter a different world when you go through the front gate,” Bersuch says.

Bersuch’s house feels like it’s from a different world, too. It’s one he feels comfortable in. All the scary stuff doesn’t actually scare him, even though he wishes it would.

“I haven’t been able to freak myself out,” Bersuch says. “Yet.”
