Getting into the spirit, so to speak

[beldar]

One of the things I love about the neighborhood I live in is its reputation as the most haunted part of Indy, and its shut-down-a-major-street Haloween Festival, always on the last Saturday of October, so this year it's actually on Halloween.

Festival activities are going on all week. Our Edgar Allan Poe impersonator tells Spooky Stories at the town's Irving Circle mini-park tonight -- with a ride-by by the Headless Horseman.
Tomorrow the_dark_snack will be the gypsy fortune-teller during the local rollergirls' Pirates vs. Ninjas roller derby at nearby Ellenberger Park.
Then Saturday, the festival in the street, all day until the parade (all who come in costume can be in the parade) which occurs just before the festival ends and Trick or Treat hours begin.
Since we are festival volunteers, we will be mega-busy. But Snack and I also plan on going to a Goth party after ToT hours downtown.

What I'm trying to say is, I live in Halloween Town!

Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?

Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night

This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors gonna die of fright
It's our town, everybody screm
In this town of Halloween

I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red

I am the one hiding under yours stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

This is Halloween, this is Halloween

Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

In this town, don't we love it now?
Everybody's waiting for the next surprise

Round that corner, man hiding in the trash cam
Something's waiting no to pounce, and how you'll...

Scream! This is Halloween
Red 'n' black, slimy green

Aren't you scared?

Well, that's just fine
Say it once, say it twice
Take a chance and roll the dice
Ride with the moon in the dead of night

Everybody scream, everbody scream

In our town of Halloween!

I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace

I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair

I am the shadow on the moon at night
Filling your dreams to the brim with fright

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!
Halloween! Halloween!

Tender lumplings everywhere
Life's no fun without a good scare

That's our job, but we're not mean
In our town of Halloween

In this town

Don't we love it now?

Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everyone scream
Wont' ya please make way for a very special guy

Our man jack is King of the Pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King

This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

In this town we call home
Everyone hail to the pumpkin song

La la-la la, Halloween! Halloween!
