Shadows and shapes in the window
Spectres and spooks on the porch
Spiders and snakes by the garden gate
Scurry and scatter, to the creak and the clatter
The old house of eldritch lore
Spirits, shades
Phantoms, wraiths
Zombies at the door
Weird and wild
Charmed, beguiled
Trapped for evermore
Gremlins and ghosts in the rafters
Goblins and ghouls down below
Ghastly and gruesome, you’ll shiver and quake
If you step inside, you cannot hide
For the old house of eldritch knows
Shutter and sash collect cobwebs
Ivy and iron interweave
Doorways and drapes tempt and tantalize
So be warned, beware, if you step in there
The old house of eldritch breathes
-and trespassers never leave!
Spirits, shades
Phantoms, wraiths
Zombies at the door
Weird and wild
Charmed, beguiled
Trapped for ever more
