Horror Movie Hero

from X Marks the Spot by The Jolly Rogers

lyrics

Zombies out of the earth, Vampires out of the night
Ghosts comin’ through walls, Killer slash with a knife
Séance candles go out, the Ouija Board’s a flake
There’s no Holy Water, the Exorcist is late…
WANTED: Horror Movie Hero, make Evil pay!
You gotta work nights and a few holidays
Weapons not provided, you start at the full moon,
Experience preferred, the sequel’s coming soon!
Killer’s in the house, and the light switch doesn’t work
You found your friends all dead, the Slasher goes berserk
If you passed the front door to get away upstairs
Then the Hero is the answer to all your prayers
[CHORUS]
Play with a puzzle box or meet a rabid dog
If you’re trapped in the closet or caught out in the Fog
The Hero always knows that Horror Movie Law,
When the going gets tough, the tough get a chainsaw!
[CHORUS]
A hockey mask, a Shatner mask, head full of pins
Razor claws on a glove or a leathery grin
With Carpenter, Raimi, Craven and Barker too,
Our Hero’s sure got one helluva job to do!
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
