Who will test their spirit on the night of Halloween?
Who will delve into the world of the macabre and the obscene?
Who will take a risk and head into the absurd?
Who would do such a thing without offering a word?
The ghosts and the goblins who haunt the night!
The skeletons and witches who offer fright!
Their power is unrequited
Their presence are unforeseen
But their spirits run rampant on the night of Halloween!
It’s a nightmare! for the young and the old
Terror walks the streets – a sight to behold
It’s a nightmare! for the people of the town
To see the dead and deranged wandering around
It’s All Hallows’ Eve!
The dead’s night to play!
Stay safe indoors!
In the darkness do not stray!
It’s a nightmare!
Unlike anything you’ve seen before!
Hold onto Nanny’s hand and be engulfed by the horror!
It’s a nightmare!
Unlike anything you’ve seen!
Filled with strange things from the frightening to the obscene
It’s a nightmare!

You certainly created the spirit and the essence in this one Jeff. Now I must retire to my bed before the dawn breaks or i'll be having a steak for breakfast !
