I knew I wanted to write a Halloween themed poem this year, but I’m certainly no poet.
I’ve read poems that really moved me, made me feel things – but to write one? Well I’ll leave that to the experts.
So instead of something deep and meaningful, I thought I would go for something fun and light hearted. So here you have it – An Ode To The Horror Movie.
An Ode To The Horror Movie: A Poem
Vampires, witches, clowns and zombies too,
They go bump in the night and come after you,
Don’t run for the stairs, and certainly not the cellar,
You don’t want to be the cliché, killed by that fella’.
You’ve seen the movies and all of the shows,
Don’t be the bimbo; you know how it goes,
Go after the killer with an axe, gun or knife
It’s hardly a crime; he just killed your wife!
Whether he’ll skin you alive, or he just wants to play,
You could be next at the end of the day,
Show him you’re psycho, more twisted than him,
He’ll probably believe you; they’re all a bit dim.
Keep your eyes peeled, you’ve got to be quick,
Otherwise he’ll see you as the next easy pick,
Follow this guide and you never know,
Maybe you’ll make it to the end of the show!
If you enjoyed this poem, you’ll love my collection, Parodies and Piss Takes. The poems are in a similar style to this one, spanning across a whole range of genres. And the best part? It’s only 99p.
I hope you enjoyed the poem! Let me know what you thought about it in the comments 🙂

Oh that’s awesome! I love that and making the killer believe you’re just as twisted as him, that’s what I would do, LOL! Love it! Happy Halloween! #anythinggoes
