Creaking floorboards in the hall
Shadows creeping up the walls
Ol’ Pumpkin head with eyes aflame
Screaming spooks gone insane
Laughter deep within the closet
Not game enough to stand and close it
Dark places filling hearts with dread
As smiling teeth glint under the bed
Hollow cries and night time howls
Silent fall the hunting owls
As through the back garden creeps
One who will steal you in your sleep
Warts and pus filled growths abide
On the witches leather hide
Over a sleeping town she flies
Cackling madly at the skies
In the light of a full yellow moon
A beast is born to hunger soon
Thick of fur with giant paws
Tearing fangs and rending claws
Here on this night the veil grows thin
Realm of life and death mingling
The faded ghost of a loved one lost
Pay respects or pay the cost
