2016 OCTOBER FRIGHTS BLOG HOP - DAY 1

Welcome to the 2016 October Frights Blog Hop
I thought we'd start off with a song...
Halloween is like Christmas to me,
and when I posted this picture on my FB page...
Picture
I couldn't get the Christmas tune 
out of my head,
So I decided to write my own Halloween version.
I'm not a poet, like some of my fellow Blog Hop authors, and certainly I'm no lyricist,
but I took a shot at it and had some fun. 
And you can play along as part of my giveaway.
​Details at the bottom.


​Here's an instrumental  YouTube Video of It's the  Most Wonderful Time of the Year if you're inspired to sing along!! 
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
With the kids trick or treating
And skeletons rattling you full of good fear
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
 
It’s the creep-creepiest season of all.
With those Halloween greetings and devilish meetings.
When death comes to call
It’s the creep-creepiest season of all.
 
There’ll be flash mobs of Thriller
And bloodthirsty killers
All howling in the shadows
They’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the gory
Halloweens long, long ago.

 
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
They’ll be many dead rising
And witches devising
When black cats are near.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.


It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be monsters time warping
Riff Raff hiding corpses
When Brad (and) Janet are near.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
​
They’ll be parties for ghosting
Body parts for roasting
And howling in the shadows
They’ll be scary ghost stories
And tales of the gory 
Halloweens long, long ago.

 

I'm having small daily giveaways but will enter everyone who comments on any
post to win the Grand Prize - $20 Amazon Gift Card.

My giveaway today is a $5 Amazon Gift Card.  There are two ways to enter. 
1) Help me rewrite the second to last verse.
​ I wanted it to be a tribute to my fav movie, 

Rocky Horror Picture Show
but it doesn't really fit with original tune.
OR
2) Tell me your favorite Halloween song or soundtrack from a scary movie.
Good luck.
**Don't forget to include your email address in the comments**
I'll enter everyone's name into Random.org
tomorrow morning before my next post goes live.

Don't forget to check out all the other awesome authors
on the Blog Hop!!

I love your Halloween version! How about this for the Rocky Horror verse:
It’s the most licentious time of the year
There’ll be lights in the darkness
And Frankie's black bodice
His intentions so clear!
It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

LOL, Scott - I know, I couldn't get it out of my head either, hence, the rendition. Glad you liked it.

Great job with the lyrics! We used to have a "Best Halloween Songs of the '80s" CD, and I'd have to go with Oingo Boingo's Dead Man's Party or the Ramones Pet Cemetery for my favorites. Happy Hopping!!

Hi Liv, I know Oingo Boingo's song but not Pet Cemetary. Dead Man's Party -great choice. Thanks for stopping by!

It most certainly is the most wonderful time of the year! Favorite lines:

There’ll be flash mobs of Thriller
And bloodthirsty killers

Flows so nicely off the tongue!

I agree. Great, great, song, BJ - I think I still have the old album and cover - probably not in that great of shape, though ;)

Thanks for stopping by.
