Give up the ghosts
The goblins and ghouls
Creatures that go
Bump in the night
Forget the vampires
The zombies and werewolves
Monsters that may
Give you a fright
The scariest thing
Of scary things
Is waiting
Outside your door
The news is the new
Horror Reality Show
Just sit right down
Tickets aren’t free
All you need
Is to be
Deceived
Confused
Alive
In the year
Of our doom
2025
