When days are dark and nights are black
The week before November
And tales of dread and deep despair
Are all you can remember
When shades of red surround the moon
And shadows steal the light
If you should meet a sharp-toothed man
Don’t try to be polite
Because he’s Dracula
He’ll try to bite your neck
He’ll hypnotize you, drink your blood
And leave you in a wreck

So, stay away from Dracula's castle
You will be killed if you venture inside
Terror awaits you in Dracula’s castle
Where there is no place to hide

Stay away from Frankenstein's dungeon
You will be killed if you venture inside
Terror awaits you in Frankenstein’s dungeon
Where there is no place to hide

Frankenstein lives with his bride in a basement
Waiting for humans to walk through his door
When he is finished destroying their bodies
They don’t look like humans no more

So, stay away from Transylvania
You will be killed if you venture inside
Terror awaits you in Transylvania
Where there is no place to hide

When children come to trick-or-treat
And wear their scary masks
You’ll notice one is drinking from
A laboratory flask
Slam the door and lock it tight
Don’t even ask him in
Or you may never live
To open any doors again
Because he’s Dr. Jekyll
He’ll change to Mr. Hyde
He’ll drain your blood and fill your body
With formaldehyde

So, stay away from the lab of Dr. Jekyll
You will be killed if you venture inside
Terror awaits in the lab of Dr. Jekyll
Where there is no place to Hyde

Stay away from the crypt of the zombie
You will be killed if you venture inside
Terror awaits in the crypt of the zombie
Where there is no place to hide

Zombies are dead, but they feed on the living
They’ll eat you up from your head to your hands
If one calls and asks you to join him for supper
Tell him you have other plans

Stay away from the tomb of the mummy
You will be killed if you venture inside
Terror awaits in the tomb of the mummy
Where there is no place to hide

In space there lives an evil man
Who rules a dark domain
He built a planet of his own
Because he is insane
And if you’re captured by his troops
And thrown before his feet
Be courteous and tell him
That you really think he’s sweet
Cause he’s Darth Vader
You’d better not complain
He’ll cut you with his lightsaber
And cause you lots of pain

So, stay away from the Death Star Space Station
You will be killed if you venture inside
Terror awaits at the Death Star Space Station
Where there is no place to hide

Stay away from Cujo’s doghouse
You will be killed if you venture inside
Terror awaits you in Cujo’s doghouse
Where there is no place to hide

Cujo’s a dog with a bad case of rabies
If he attacks, you won’t know what to do
Don’t try to give him a Milk-Bone Dog Biscuit
He’ll take your arm with it, too

So stay away from Stephen King’s basement.
You will be killed if you venture inside
Terror awaits you in Stephen King’s basement
Where there is no place to hide
