2025 HAUNT:  The Greatest Show Unearthed

No one knows what year it all started, but 30 days prior to All Hallows' Eve the remnants of old tombstones in front of the house appear to pulsate with an eerie glow stirring up the shadows that lie below. This year's haunt is a graveyard of unrest. Many are buried, but many souls sing out as the undead awakens.
Soon it becomes apparent that the night belongs to Halloween as those who are buried beneath the earth entertains the living. 

Highlights

Haunted Graveyard

​ guarded by
Silent Sentinels
Steadfast and still, the stones do keep,
Vigil over those in eternal sleep.
Sentinels silent, in rows they stand,
Guarding the memories of the land.

Each etching, a name, a date, a life,
A testament of joy, love, and strife.
In their silence, they speak so loud,
Of each soul, once bright, now shroud.

Guardians of stories, of times gone by,
Under the sun, the moon, the sky.
In their watch, we remember and find,
The lasting footprints of mankind.

Ooh
​
On yacht place, there a house of fright
The talley house comes alive at night
Ghosts on the lawn and skeletons sway
Trick or treaters come from miles away

Pumpkins grin with their crooked smiles
Gravestones stretched down the yard for miles
Fog rolls thick from a bubbling brew
Kids get scared but they push on through

Bats in the windows, witches that streak
Spiderwebs make the house look bleak
Candles flicker with an eerie glow
Welcome to the Talley Haunt, let's start the show

The show

Laughter echoes in the cool night air
Even the ghouls have fun to spare
The Talley House is a spooky delight
A frightful charm in the moonlight


Bats in the windows, witches that streak
Spiderwebs make the house look bleak
Candles flicker with an eerie glow
Welcome to the Talley Haunt, let's start the show

Ooh

The show
The show

Doors creaks open with a ghoulish moan
Candy bowl guarded by a monster's groan
A ghost pops out and the kids all scream
It's Halloween most haunted scene

Bats in the windows, witches that streak
Spiderwebs make the house look bleak
Candles flicker with an eerie glow
Welcome to the Talley Haunt, let's start the show

​
Main Act:  Thriller
​by the ghosts of Michael Jackson & Vincent Price
It's close to midnight
And something evil's lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight
You see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream
But terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze
As horror looks you right between the eyes
You're paralyzed

You hear the door slam
And realize there's nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand
And wonder if you'll ever see the sun
You close your eyes
And hope that this is just imagination, girl
But all the while
You hear a creature creepin' up behind
You're out of time

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night

There ain't no second chance against the thing with forty eyes, girl
(Thriller) ooh-ooh (thriller night)
You're fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

​Night creatures call
And the dead start to walk in their masquerade
There's no escaping the jaws of the alien this time (they're open wide)
This is the end of your life, ooh

They're out to get you
There's demons closing in on every side, ooh
They will possess you
Unless you change that number on your dial
Now is the time
For you and I to cuddle close together, yeah
All through the night
I'll save you from the terror on the screen
I'll make you see

That this is thriller, thriller night
'Cause I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try
(Thriller) ooh-ooh (thriller night)
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller (ooh), chiller (ooh)
Thriller, here tonight

'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
Girl, I can thrill you more than any ghoul would ever dare try
(Thriller) ooh-ooh (thriller night)
So let me hold you tight and share a killer, thriller, ow!

I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize y'all's neighborhood (I'm gonna thrill you tonight)
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
I'm gonna thrill you tonight
Thriller, ooh, babe (Thriller)
I'm gonna thrill you tonight (Thriller night)
Thriller, oh, darling (Oh, baby)
I'm gonna thrill you tonight (Thriller)
Ooh, babe (Thriller night)
I'm gonna thrill you tonight (Thriller)
Oh, darling (Oh, baby)
Thriller night, babe (Thriller night, babe)
Ooh

The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years (Thriller night, thriller)
And grisly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom

And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver (I'm gonna thrill you tonight)
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller





Phantom Wraith
sensing
Souls Through Fear
A wraith is a ghost or ghostlike image of someone,
especially one seen shortly before or after their death.


Wraiths are undead creatures that can be confused with
shadows or mist.

​They are incorporeal but when in presence of mortals they
feed upon their emotions... especially fear.
​

So slip quietly past and don't go to sleep, so you can pray
​your soul to keep.
