Demons Roam Free

Descending on this night, a foul darkness flows from the Reaper's cowl. And shadows conceal the undead, instilling the living with dread. On Halloween, demons roam free, while ghosts go on a haunting spree. And ghouls claw their way out of graves as walking dead, and zombie slaves. As their silhouettes stalk the gloom, black cats and witches share a broom. And while vampires morph into bats, Jack-o'-lanterns get gnawed by rats. Evil's on the prowl: goblins hunt, as werewolves howl, snarl, yelp, and grunt, And monsters trod unhallowed ground, where creepy crawly things abound.
