The Horror Hosts Never Die

Intro

Ohhh-eee-ohhh

Verse 1

Ten cents poor at the drugstore rack in black and white 1950

Gaines and Feldstein cooked up a scare in the pale moonlight

Tales From The Crypt and Vault of Horror on the shelf

Three ghouls cackle at ya with a howl

Chorus

Ohhh-eee-ohhh the horror comics never die

Creepy Eerie Vampirella with the blood-red eye

Back from the grave where the graveyard keeps them sane

Boils and ghouls behave on the comic page again

Post-Chorus

(Scream it loud)

(Scream it loud)

Verse 2

Well in 1954 they tried to bury us all

Comics Code shoved a storm inside the box

Said no more gore no more ghouls no more shock

But Warren rolled the press and broke the lock

Pre-Chorus

Swamp Things creepin' out the bayou muck

Every coffin bustin' open callin' back to us

Chorus

Ohhh-eee-ohhh the horror comics never die

Creepy Eerie Vampirella with the blood-red eye

Uncle Creepy and Cousin Eerie back from the grave

Screamin' from the comic crypt so behave

Bridge

On KABC the dark divine

Finnish fire and a wicked sign

Waist so small and a scream so fine

Then Cassandra rides through 1981

(Vampira)

(Elvira)

Queen versus queen a laugh suit fight

Same scream darlin' just a different light

Verse 3

Grab your remote light your incense for the double feature show

Beatnik cold as a tomb and the mall-rat midnight glow

Both love the bad reels both rule the late air

Let the theremin squeak through the static where

Chorus

Ohhh-eee-ohhh Vampira versus Elvira who takes the crown

Both get the coffin couch both wear the gown

From EC to Warren to your TV light

The horror hosts never die they just change the night

Outro

(Scream it loud)

The horror hosts never die

Boils and ghouls behave tonight
