Masked mash

The ghosts of horror movies past
show up at parties wearing masks

for even ghosts dread getting ill
and living guests don't beg the thrill

of dying.

They say one dies but once, but die again?
Enough to become a ghost and then

haunt your friends.

Ghosts' ghoulish stories come-to-life,
their dying screams, those slashing knives,

(the bloody mess)

and bloodier insanity
as each outdoes the other with great glee.

No one hears the door click shut.
No one sees the store-bought robot

pocket the key.

Who screams first or rather who screams last
as ghouls up the volume to a blast...

Let's dance dance dance!

...so nosy neighbors don't notice the knash
of teeth that chomp, the well-aimed slash

among true friends

that gather monthly to prance and scream
to relive horrors of the movie screen.
