Best Scaring Poems

I tiptoe through the darkness as silent as the night,
My ears attuned to any sound, there’s not a soul in sight;

Goosebumps prickle across my skin as panic washes over me,
I hear the slightest noise ahead and I strain my eyes to see;

My uneasy breathing fogs...

Unable to turn back, early morning finds me here again,
The clocks still ticking with hands of the mannequin.

Where winter sets in her lonely cold

Don't know if I've ever told you before
But I'm the creative director
Of our cool little community newspaper
It's quite the people connector

With an abundance of silly jokes

Keeps me...

A pastor with fervor and preparedness
Entered a hall to preach the word of God
That he might convert souls in the area
And earn graces for work from divine duty

What did he see seated on every chairs?
Souls upon souls waiting for him to enter
Those that died were...

It is August, summer break. 
Our six-year-old grandson Jay comes to spend the night.

Witch Joyce had a contest with Wormwood, the warlock of choice.
He had stated his cauldron made better brew than that of Joyce.
Their cauldrons created conniving concoctions that tempted and dared.
The rest of the villagers, gnomes and faeries ran away, for they were all scared....

And through that door is the morgue
The editor said, motioning toward 
an unassuming, flat-black, painted door
“Do you want to see it?”
The wanna-be journalists from high school 
Began shaking their heads ‘no’....

Even the trees are gnarly on Halloween night
mean black cats arch their backs, wind does not feel right
Nasty sticky wet ghouls are climbing out of their crypts
Trick-or-treaters tell all about the candy, showing lose lips.

vampires are laughing as they head for your neck.
Werewolves are howling,...

Babbalineena was sweeping when the door creeped her out
it was opening slowly, with a creakiness, scarier than a shout

two of the happiest most colorful trolls of the hour
came by in a wheelbarrow and picked up a flower
I watched them and smiled, they were having such fun.

The pitch-black sky  
Roars out loud,  
Scaring the humans  
Lurking around.
