Horrors abound in the middle of the night,
creepy sights, creepy sounds, and the winds howled.
Freddy, then Jason, then Michaels awful sight,
leaving short-legged Chucky with Leatherface and his unhappy scowl.

Stuck in the mansion, with Jack and the twins,
the doctor's evil laugh echoing, enjoying his meal.
Annabelle and Chucky dancing, watched by the man with pins,
trust me, my children, they're better busy, not trying to make you squeal.

Creepy clowns come without a circus in town,
while at the dance Carrie stares into the crowd.
Jigsaw lurks in the shadows hiding his forever frown,
and the noise of the Predator is forever so loud.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
The come one they come all to the Monsters Ball,
for a queen and a king, to run amuck this Halloween!

Mismatch Challenge Winners
Blending genres isn’t about stacking elements side by side. It’s about what happens when two sets of expectations refuse to cooperate. The strongest entries in the Mismatch Challenge understood that tension and leaned into it. Rather than smoothing the edges, these stories let their chosen genres complicate one another, creating friction that carried through voice, structure, and consequence.

That was a fun read. Cleverly written and great scheme of rhymes. Job well done.
A great Halloween poem full of all the things from my youth that scared the daylights out of me! Well done :)
