The veil is thin

letting the ghouls creep in.

To embrace the night,

full of dread and fright.

Moonbeams and haunted screams;

fueling horror-filled dreams.

Bewitching and terrifying,

tricking us into believing

the scary stories we tell,

and the midnight memories we sell.

To keep us creeping back for more,

spooky seances and mythical lore.

Shadows in corners and footsteps on stairs,

Awake all night long; a living nightmare.
