Monster Masquerade
They said the party was to be
the biggest of the year
Planned up in the mountains
it would cause more fright and fear
Everyone in town had been invited to attend
To meet their brand new neighbors
have a chance for all to blend
The ghoulish bash got started
as the sun was going down
The guests began arriving
in their costumes, masks and gowns
But when the midnight hour came
the hosts began to change
Transforming into monsters
they grew hideous, deranged
The massacre which followed
lasted till the morning light
The few that got away
escaped into the darkened night
For years the town was empty
but then slowly people came
In spite of whispered horrors
none believed the gruesome claim
And when the town was whole again they all got an invite
To join a monster masquerade
up in a mountain site
