Popcorn Is Ready

Popcorn is ready 
The lights are turned down real low 
The movie begins 
Old cheesy black and white show 
Scary, but gives you a smile 
No CG, just props 
See the wires on the ship 
Tiny miniatures 
Sparklers are used for rockets 
Rubber suits for monsters 
Eerie music plays 
NO! Don't look behind that door. 
Suspense is the key 
See the shadow on the wall 
A blur,. the monster is there 
No blood and no gore 
Just a good honest scaring 
And a laugh or two 
No better way to enjoy 
A night cuddled on the couch
