Getting Ready For Halloween: You Are Cordially Invited

Invitations have gone out to one and all, On October 29 there'll be a ball. It's Halloween inspired, RSVP required, To do so simply text, or tweet, or call. Expectations for this year's event are high, Preparations were begun in mid-July. "Movie Monsters" is the theme, And raw film footage will be seen. At midnight "Dracula" suggests he may drop by. The location is "The House on Haunted Hill", "Frankenstein" said if he's free to come, he will. "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" Will join "The Mummy" for a tune, And some hip-hop by "The Blob" is on the bill. Other horror picture legends will be there, And such appearances by some are very rare. "The Fly", "The Thing", and "Nosferatu", And if "The Phantom of the Opera" opts to, This year's bash will be a smash beyond compare. Disclaimer: Yes, dear readers, I realize Halloween is traditionally on Oct. 31, but that falls on a Monday this year, and Monday is not a good party night.
