Dark shaded eyes on pale faces in black and white.
Sharp teeth and claws shine the hovering full moon light,
while onix capes and ivory gowns give gloom life
to the uncomprehended children of the night.
The milky gleam baptizes hairy howling hound,
the enchanting piercing focus of femme fatal,
the unseen, arms crossed, in shades is covered in cloth,
a thirsty count with capturing sight bares his fangs,
a gilled humanoid high-fives with long webbed fingers,
all wrapped in the musty stench of rotten corpses:
mummified, brought to life or assembled from parts.
This is the ancient unholy mash of monsters,
the welcoming post card to real Halloween,
may their emo flash mob sweeten your careless dreams.
