Happy Halloween!
Bela Lugosi King of Fright
In arcane shadows of the silver screen
These iconic monumental Masters of the macabre will make you shudder and scream
Lon Chaney Senior the phantasmal man of a thousand faces
is one of many to which the screen he graces
Boris Karloff is a celluloid monarch as horror fans we all worship and hail
Lon Chaney Jr.'s Wolfman leaves behind a bloody, gruesome homicidal trail
Vincent Price laughs with a ghastly glare
Basil Rathbone creeps through the midnight air
While Peter Lorre chooses his victims with keen and sadistic care
John Carradine stares with mesmerizing evil stone-cold eyes
Dwight Frye's Renfield eats plump juicy spiders and flies
George Zucco experiments upon the living dead
Lionel Atwill ogles gleeful with mad bloodshot burning eyes of red
Charles Laughton's Dr. Moreau is blasphemously deranged as one can be
Excellent are Horror Greats such as Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee.
The deformed Rondo Hatton will leave you with an uncanny chill
Claude Rains' performances are phenomenal and forevermore thrill
Gale Sondergaard, the dark beauty will rob you with her draconian heart
These legends are immortalized in cinematic history and will never be forgotten nor will their legends that haunt us ever depart...
In the saturnine shadowy bowers of our hearts now comes the imperial looming Master of this ghastly Hollywood regime,
Hollywood's Prince of Darkness whose dominion reigns ever supreme,
In the terror throughout the sequential lexicons of celluloid time,
the epitome of horror he truly defined,
he has enchanted and seductively made the ensorcelled souls of so very many moves to heart-quake and scream,
He resides lurking in the lugubrious chambers our hearts, souls, nightmares and beautiful dreams, and captivates us all with his vampiric kiss in the mysterious night and while drunken in the esoteric bath of mordacious moonbeams
Hail Bela Lugosi Father to all the lost howling children of the night
Bela Lugosi is King of horror who can still enthrall
He will mesmerize you entirely and make your skin crawl
So, remember on this frightful Halloween night, who truly is the King of fright
Bela (Dracula) Lugosi who stalks on the screen and the forsaken eternal midnight.
- Christopher R. Gauthier
