Thank you @wacha for the "Movie Title Challenge". I was given "Fan of the Dead". Yikes. I don't watch horror films so this was a real challenge. Turns out "Fan of the Dead" is actually a documentary about George A. Romero's many "...Dead" movies. Some of the words in this are taken from descriptions of Mr. Romero's movies.
FAN OF THE DEAD
The night is living proof
What you fear can be real
If you’re ready close your eyes
For a breathtaking reveal
The quiet won’t last long
Neither will the naïve
Once you’ve opened your window
To the mutants and the thieves
[ch]
Yeah, there are zombies and ghosts
And black leather gloves
Hey, are you a fan of the dead
Things peculiar
With warped sense of humor
Come on, be a fan of the dead
Goosebumps will be nothing
To the wounds you will receive
Give a hearty chase
And practice to deceive
Escape the epidemic
To an underground world
Or hitch a ferry to an island
And hope the feral burn
[ch]
Yeah, there are zombies and ghosts
And black leather gloves
Hey, are you a fan of the dead
Things peculiar
With warped sense of humor
Come on, be a fan of the dead
[br]
And when the night is over
Your heart is aching mad
But what a thrill to meet the soulless
And think it was a dream you had
Repeat ch

This sounds like a rocker! Something to turn up loud on halloween night. The chorus has a nice rhythm to it. Good stuff!

Oh I came for the title and the text was deliciously dark and cool.

Love the way you worked in descriptions of romero’s movies. I get night if the living dead in the opening stanza. The rest seem like they could apply to just about any any of them but I’m guessing the chorus is at least partly in reference to Creepshow. Fun challenge! Well done!
