Scary stories to a' tell in the Dark


Old town folks in an old mill town
Tried a’ telling the new folks on down
Leave the ol’ house alone
Bypass Sarah’s gravestone

Stella and her friends could care less
On over to the ghastly ol’ house they went
Sarah’s book an ol’ mess
Nothin' but putrid blood scent

Blood and Harold on the hunt
Who’s next on the bone front?

Tommy’s got a pitchfork through his chest
Spiders on the crawl
Mercury close to the breast
Wolves prowling to maul

Blood and Harold on the hunt
Who’s next on the bone front?

Stella’s got nothin’ in old mill park
Only scary stories to a’ tell in the dark

Blood and Harold on the hunt
Who’s next on the bone front?
