Poems in honour of Wolfman and Dracula

Halloween is one of my favorite times of year! Besides Halloween being within 2 days of my birthday, the weather is turning cooler, the holidays are just around the corner (and that means good food and time off from work), and on October 31st kids of any age can dress up as monsters and beg for candy. Tons O' fun on Fright Night. Two staple characters of this scary day are the Wolfman and Dracula. There are so many stories and movies about both characters. I'm printing two poems about these characters, one from an old movie recited by an old gypsy woman who is scarier than the Wolfman, and one funny one about Dracula.

– from The Wolf Man (1941 movie)
Even a man who is pure in heart and says his prayers by night, may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is bright.


"Hello, My Name is Dracula" –by Douglas Florian
Hello, my name is Dracula.
My clothing is all blackula.
I drive a Cadillacula.
I am a maniacula.
I drink blood for a snackula.
Your neck I will attackula
With teeth sharp as a tackula.
At dawn I hit the sackula.
Tomorrow I’ll be backula!

Have a great Halloween!!
