Frankenstein
Kiss the bride
Stolen hearts and severed parts
Macabre delights
Lightning strikes
Coaxing the dead to rise
Frank’s got a big surprise
Missus mesmerized
Terrorize
Humankind
Michael basks in Jason’s mask
Strong silent types
Dead of night
Myers lets down his fly
Blue jumpsuit cast aside
Phantasmic facts of life
I am the creature in your black lagoon
Let’s make a double monster feature
Under the moon
Ride my cape or your broom?
Lay in your grave or my tomb?
Sweater weather, frightful nethers
Ghoulish love’s a grim endeavor
Scythe of the reaper and I taste your doom
Dark power witching hour with your
Pumpkins in bloom
All the zombies exhumed
They moan and I start to swoon
Freaky monsters mash together
Undead loving lasts forever
Moony sky
Bestialize
Wolfman tastes his husband’s face
Long howling night
Fossilized
Mummy’s been cursed to life
Osiris be my guide
I love you, time to die
A mess of claws and fangs
The hex our bodies sang
This coven dreams of lovers’ screams
A potion steeped with fright
I’ll drink you through the night
Come close, my dear, and have some fear

Samhain Sun

dream of frights
these autumn nights
hold your loved ones tight
you hang your pumpkin lights
and realize
here's a chance
a dark romance
deep October trance
the cornfield greets us
shouting out our voodoo chants
try to make a scarecrow dance
behold
the stalks expose
raven's mortal foe
waltzing to and fro
allegro
what a scene
a moon-soaked dream
werewolves howling
the clock has struck thirteen
the witches' chorus sings songs of Halloween
Samhain sun, graveyard fun
underworld overcome
skeletons banging drums
haunts and ghouls for everyone
month divine
so mull the wine
wander through the night
to trace the pumpkin vines
and realize
zombie zeal
the dark appeal
ghouls becoming real
my ghostly joy is bubbling out of every hole
toil, trouble, in my soul
Samhain sun, graveyard fun
underworld overcome
skeletons banging drums
haunts and ghouls for everyone

Rows of Six

the thinnest crescent moon
i'd better get back soon
avoid main roads, as i've been told
that's where they like to fly
i sneak down alleyways
behind the preacher's place
a peek inside the cellar spies
the room where hell untwined
the servant's empty bed
the girls left her for dead
my torch blows out although i doubt
the winds have moved tonight
a stillness in the streets
no nightbirds call to me
a flicker in the forest and
i'm pulled towards my demise
my body shakes in fits
my zombie feet persist
their wicked skin and ghouls within
have got me by the wrist
i've seem them in my dreams
but now i'm not asleep
the fire glows and moonlight shows
the knives my flesh will meet
what wine is this?
metallic crimson bliss
we're born in rows of six
and roam amongst the sticks
your spectral sights
pay witness to our flights
surrender to your fright
a harvest moon delight
don't go and burn your friends
crush them 'til they confess
i would doubt you ever found the devils that you fuss about

i ain't afraid of monsters
i ain't afraid of ghosts
cuz i am a future skeleton
i am up to my ears in bones (and bones and bones and bones...)
wave your skeleton hand to that skeleton man
i only joke around to see your skeleton laugh
when you turn the music up, i watch your skeleton dance
so let's free our bones and head on home to the skeleton land
i just might be a monster
cuz i only have one goal:
to free everybody's skeletons
and live in a world of bones (and bones and bones and bones...)
forgive me but i didn't hear a word you said
i was staring at those bones popping outta your head
rows of teeth cutting right on through the skin
trying to emancipate that skeleton within
and i'd be more that glad to shed your sheath
oh what was that, you said you wanted me to leave?
such a shame, i'd be game if you should ever change your mind
i can tell we'd look swell with our bones all intertwined
wave your skeleton hand to that skeleton man
i only joke around to see your skeleton laugh
when you turn the music up, i watch your skeleton dance
so let's free our bones and head on home to the skeleton land
we are made of scary stuff
so let's see those bones, i've had enough

lovely time
a forest stroll, your hand held tight in mine
but the sun is low
make haste towards home, it's best you go alone
demonize through light of night
while moon is high the wolf will bite
a vile surprise from hell inside
we howl 'til the sun arise
rise and shine
to songs of crows with tattered clothes enshrined
wading through the stream
i wash the bloody memories of my dreams
demonize through light of night
while moon is high the wolf will bite
a vile surprise from hell inside
we howl 'til the sun arise
you smell real nice
bathed in moonlight
the blood is rushing to my head
as dusk descends i chase the night and curse my bed
the moon reflect's in devil's eyes
this lunatic is on your trail, i'm running wild

Heart Attack

a grave mistake out in the meadow
how could you know that you had caught a beast?
i played the part, a proper fellow
you wrapped yourself in me
i readied for the feast
i like my magic black
and my edges sharp
i'm just a heart attack
swallowed up in the darkest arts
you saw the claws grow from my fingers
you heard me horny for the harvest moon
i tried to hide my fangs and stingers
my fears were far from few
the curse i gave to you
i like my magic black
and my edges sharp
i'm just a heart attack
swallowed up in the darkest arts
i didn't mean to bite
give you such a fright
i'm just a heart attack
better run
i'm racing for the trees
you're safe away from me
maybe when i'm a ghost
we'll hold each other close

another trip around the block
we race against the midnight clock
you take my mask, i don your cape
this ploy requires unfamiliar shapes
returning to the same front doors
we'd trick-or-treated hours before
and one by one the neighbors pour
the candied sweets and chocolate treats galore
but as i marveled at our feat
we must've wandered off the street
for now the only house i see
is draped in night and tucked amongst the trees
i hesitate and then i hear
a thrash of leaves - you've disappeared
but i've no time to call your name
something's come out from that house, and it's heading my way
i'm paralyzed with shock and fear
with patient strides, it's drawing near
my pillowcase of treats in hand
the last defense against this demon-man
i break the trance and back away
said "i'm sorry to be out so late"
and when he laughed i saw his face
and felt such fright that i took flight while the monster made chase
he had a pumpkin head
with hollow eyes of flame
he smelled of rot and death
i felt his breath when he screamed my name
the moon was full and red
i thought i had escaped
but when i turned to look, his fingers tore my cape
i made it out somehow
and met my friend in town
we never found that house
just candy wrappers on the ground
devil's got a sweet tooth
and my pillowcase, too
so next year when i trick-or-treat
i'll settle for one round of sweets
just stick to the familiar streets
and stay away from pumpkin-headed creeps

My Rubber Mask

remember moonlit streets
collecting treats
the sound of ghostly sheets
across the leaves
your neighbor wears a witch's hat
October's spell is cast
inside my rubber mask
i gasp and laugh
at headstones in the grass
The Monster Mash
is blaring somewhere down the block
oh God, please stop the clock
let's pray away the sun
November One
brings fear without the fun
i've just begun
to harvest courage in my skin
and all the bones within
for now, i'll wear my mask
'til night has passed
and dream a pumpkin patch
why can't this last?
the morning scares away the moon
it's gonna come too soon
