An eerie series of one of one monster after another from old movies was shown while the following poem was recited by a creepy voice.
Gruesome ghouls and grisly ghosts Wretched souls and cursed hosts
Vampires bite and villains creep Demons scream and shadows sleep
Blood runs cold in every man Fog rolls in and coffins slam
Mortal quake and full moon rise Creatures haunt and terrorize.
Gruesome ghouls and grisly ghosts Wretched souls and cursed hosts
