[ TSC ] From a whisper to a scream

   
Menace to society running amok    
Ghostface really doesn't give a fuck      
When there's fear to instill, such yields a thrill . . .    
but to kill? His drug of choice, better than any pill    
     
Phoned voice assures you will DIE a nasty death    
Your sobbings are just wasted tears and breath    
He's addicted to hearing bloody murder screams    
of the kids Krueger sliced apart in their dreams    
     
So bone up on the known slasher movie tropes    
Bide time with trivial pursuits if you have any hopes    
of stepping off this terror train ( emphasis on "if" )    
Play along for now as the caller asks . . .    
     
Teacher, student, boyfriend, sheriff    
---manyone can hide behind ghostfaced masks
