1. Enter the old house, Open the door.
E-R-R-H! EEEEEK! SLAM! Welcome my dear friends.
A red hour glass jewels
Her black dress. "My late spouse
Loved this gown. Let's dine.
Our wedding night!"
We'll leave them
and walk
On.

2. The Mask

Help me carry this.
I counseled those who needed help.
I defiled and killed.

3. The Weaver of Webs

Weaver spider waits
In shining ebony threads.
"Come sit with me, my love!"

4. He Walks in the Night

Death walks in the night,
Tenderly holding his knife
Searching for the one.

G-R-0-W-L! H-O-W-L!

You want to leave the old haunted house?
The moon rises on Halloween.
Hear the howls and raging growls?
Feel the webs brush your face?
What dark creatures stir
In the black night?
Must you leave?
CREEK, E-R-R-H,
SLAM!
