Freddie Kruger Don'T Shine

PU-LEEZE...Freddie Kruger
jumping out of dark closets?
Cut! Cut! That’s enough!

What is true terror?
Daylight and brightly lit rooms
Evil put to light…

‘The Shining’…Best use of special effects ever in a movie (In my humble opinion)

Read the Shining...saw the movie. Read the Amityville Horrow...then got rid of the book. Read Pet Cemetary...think I still have the book somewhere, but I will never read it again. Although I used to be a die-hard Stephen King fan, not a real fan of this type of fiction anymore, but I liked reading your poem!

oh, yes, that movie the Shining was sure a scary one. But I'll tell you, the BOOKS are even scarier. I read Salem's Lot while Joe was away and I was alone in my house at night. Gives ya the creeps doing that!!!

I like what you are trying to communicate here. Evil put to light is really true terror as we are aware of it. There is certainly no shortage of it.
