Yiiiiiikes! Terror doled out in just seventeen syllables! Love the red background and the teeny font, like it's trying to hide from the scary thing over there. You artistry is coming through on this one in a big way. xo

That scared me, at least. That's a good horror entry for the prompt. You use just the right words and colorful imagery to do the trick. Good luck with the contest.

This is a good entry for the vampire contest especially with its limitation of 17 syllables in total. I imagine that the heart is beating so loudly as mine would lol. Good luck. I enjoyed this!

Where is Vlad the Impaler? Vampires never scared me. Frankenstien's monster didn't scare me. The mummy is what scared the bejesus out of me. As an adult I know that I could certainly outrun it, and he could not open doors, but as a kid!!!!! Your poem was creepy, in the right way. Karen

This is a good entry for the contest. I don't have any suggestions. The syllable count follows the competitions rules. I think I might have chosen a different word beside "yonder" (afar or distant) as it seems to take the spookiness out of the poem, but that is just a small minded opinion.

Why are you writing? Run man, run!!! Ha! I really love this Halloween season and all of the related writings.

This is a fun 5/7/5, but from the looks of your piece, you are a goner.
