My father was Michael,

Little Mikey Myers.

My mother was a ghoul.

I look a little weird,

But I am not wholly evil.

Except on Samhain.

Halloween.

My birthday.

The night when good ghouls

And goblins

Are free to roam.

The police can't catch me…

Let them try!

Ha!

Taunting and teasing all night,

Feasting and gorging

On blood and dead flesh,

Wine and sweets.

We party all night long.

For tonight is Samhain,

A night of relentless terror.

Tonight is my birthday,

And neither you nor

Anyone else will

Destroy my birthday.

I will kill

To preserve my birthday.

My birthday is precious,

My mother said so.

I must preserve

My honor,

My family honor—

Being the halfling

That I am.

I must preserve

My father's legacy.

My father.

Now there's a human

Worthy of having

A ghoul for a mate.

He's practically a ghoul

Himself!

Ah, yes,

A slash here,

A slash there,

And maybe a stab

Here and there.

How my ghoulish soul

Revels in this bloodshed!

Cops can't catch me

Police won't catch me.

Loomis is dead,

People have fled.

It's a descent

Into madness.
