[ TSC ] Freddy the 13th VS Nightmares on Friday VS Elms Chainsawed VS . . .

   
Frankenstein's hulk, Mummy, Wolfman, Dracula . . .    
dearly departed cinema icons still being done to death    
     
but now their coffins take back seats to drive-in formula:    
masked forces to be reckoned with rasping heavy breath    
somewhere behind us on the neglected woodland path;    
insane engine revvings fueled by hi octane wrath    
If we run now, we just might make it back to the cabin    
alive instead of dead from a swordfish stabbin'    
     
Only the names and locations ever need be changed;    
maniac's motives matter little --- he's simply deranged!    
Tickets will sell if young folks with no potential    
or dreams are killed off in gruesome ways    
     
Welcome to sequel after sequel in an endless hell      
of the Slasher resurrected in passionless plays
