It Came From Behind the Mirror

It Came From Behind the Mirror

By Elton Camp

A full-length mirror’s a scary thing
Into a house, such horror it may bring

Into another world it’s a door
Populated by monsters galore

Of that, I haven’t the slightest doubt
Behind the glass they’re looking out

Ghastly face pressed against the glass
It’s leering at you anytime you pass

Just waiting a chance to break through
Such unspeakably vile deeds then to do

Folks think they’ve got naught to fear
The fiends disappear when they’re near

They’re waiting there just the same
Beneath the mirror, inside the frame
