From beyond the backlot the wolfman howls
As he bays at the moon full and bright
The critters rise up from their packing cases
As they prepare to take over the night

Frankenstein's Monster scratches himself
Green beneath the flickering plasma
Poltergeists toss kitchenware and furniture
In the dust of a suffocating miasma

Godzilla stomps like a dragon or dinosaur
Crunching limos in ritzy Rodeo Drive
And the Mummy unravels along his travels
A streamer leading back to The Hive

The Alien battles it out with the Predator
Who'll win? Who'll lose? Who cares?
Someone fed the gremlins after midnight
Watch them playing musical chairs

The Candyman makes a brief appearance
A cameo because so few have seen
Then Robby the Robot's diodes light up
A comeback for the metal has-been

The Replicants in the wings begin to dance
Mr Hyde bumps into the Invisible Man
The Blob seeps and oozes through the debris
She-creature kisses her male amphibian

Next up is Count Dracula swishing his cloak
Looking mad, bad, quite frankly bats
Fangs bloodstained in the silvery moonlight
A Plague, the stars of Willard, the rats!

As dawn breaks and they go back to sleep
The streets are deserted and chaos rid
Until next year round about the same time
In their crates they're all safely hid

Clever, as usual, Mystyry. Are you sure you're not someone hidden in someone's attic?

Another one that the kids would enjoy. I think you should focus more on meter.

That's a heck of a Halloween parade. Great job with the description. It really came alive!

Endearing and cute, as so much of your work. The title's terrific! The other commentators are right: fix the meter. If you do that, it might even be publishable, round this time, next year!
