Midnight matinee
Me and the tub of popcorn
Awaiting a thrill
Five other people
Like me - anticipating
Hope it doesn't suck
The lights go dark and
Everyone stops talking
It's time for the show!
The blood starts early
Three blondes get their heads chopped off
The bodies piled up
The audience screams
When the killer shows himself...
Hey! What was that noise?
In the dark I see
Something moving down the aisle
A shifting shadow
Then a muffled scream
Somewhere in the theater
Interrupts the show
But no one reacts
I'm the only one who sees
The monster that lurks
I scream "Save yourselves!"
They all ignore my warnings
Eyes glued to the screen
So I drop my snacks
And crawl on the dirty floor
Making my escape
"Screw this!" I mumble
Sliding fast on my belly
Then the lights come on
The monster is gone
When the movie ends - but the
Real horror begins...
Five other people
Throats slit wide and eyes gouged out
Are all that's left now.
