Oh, Matthew, you\'ve made this old horror lover happy! I actually composed a score for Nosferatu, released in celebration of the film\'s 100th anniversary in 2022! Thought you might enjoy watching while hearing my musical interpretation of this Gothic masterpiece, my friend!

Matthew, I’d be the guest still talking horror movies while you’re trying to clean up. You might have to flick the lights at me! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Strange, Dark and Mysterious
Tristan Robert Lange said:
HAHAHA! Matthew, I know this addiction all too well! One creepy story before bed becomes five, and suddenly it\'s three in the morning and I\'m questioning every noise in the house! 🤣 I wouldn\'t have it any other way, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Matthew, you\'ve got a horror lover grinning from ear to ear here! LOL! I would absolutely buy a ticket to this place...though I might be checking over my shoulder for the next few days afterward. What a fun Halloween read, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Oh, HELL YES, Matthew! LOL! You’ve got a lifelong Freddy Krueger fan grinning from ear to ear over here! And wouldn’t you know it, I just watched A Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2: Freddy’s Revenge tonight! Talk about perfect timing! What a treat to find this! 🔪🖤🌹

The Soul without a Master
Tristan Robert Lange said:
I love horror, Matthew, but I’d have trouble enjoying this fellow as a monster. I’d be rooting for him to get away. BTW, I’m a huge Wes Craven fan...have you seen The Serpent and the Rainbow? 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

sorenbarrett said:
I love this work for the subject itself as well as the skill of its crafting. The Zombie an archetype and metaphor holds primal fears and meaning. Loss of control over ones actions or thoughts is a deep fear. Just look at dementia. This poem is dark and nicely crafted in AB rhyme it has a controlling feel to it. A fave Matthew

Oh, Matthew, I absolutely loved this! You\'ve got me wanting to head out for a haunted hayride this weekend! Though I might reconsider if the driver starts counting passengers. LOL! Great Halloween offering, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Tristan Robert Lange said:
Fantastic Halloween offering, Matthew! I\'ve been a Frankenstein fan for years, and I appreciate seeing the creature treated with compassion rather than simply as something to fear. Mary Shelley would approve, I think! LOL! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

The Monster Walks
sorenbarrett said:
Mary Shelley\'s Frankenstein a masterpiece not of just horror but a metaphor for man and his attempts to harness nature and life itself. Reminded by the biblical metaphor of the tree of life with an angel guarding it with a flaming sword. Of that tree we can not eat. Immortality making man a god and god forbid we are not ready the way we treat others and the earth itself. A wonderful write gothic and dark as is mankind

Matthew, I\'ve always loved the darker folklore surrounding Halloween. There\'s something wonderfully unsettling about the old legends, especially when the supposed clever fellow discovers that cleverness has its limits! LOL! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Haha! Matthew, I absolutely love this little fellow! I\'ve always had a soft spot for folklore and its wonderfully mischievous creatures. I\'d probably end up inviting him in for tea and regretting it immediately. 😂 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛

Charming this poem tells a fairytale in such an engaging way that adults are enthralled as well as children because it talks to something deep inside. A metaphor of us as well intrigued by curiosity, held by greed, wanting to believe the fantastic in a dull world we hold such tales dear. Very nice a fave

LOL! Matthew, those kids can knock all they want! I\'ll be upstairs pretending nobody\'s home, with the television muted and the dog instructed not to bark! Halloween is off to a fine start! 👻🖤🚪🙏
