Lyrics for the Halloween (1978) Theme Music

Verse 1:
In the dark, there's a figure lurking
Silent footsteps, my heart is working
Breathing heavy, I start to run
But the fear in me, it's just begun

Chorus:
Halloween night, the terror's alive
The evil's out, it's ready to thrive
No one's safe, no one can hide
The boogeyman's coming, and he won't subside

Verse 2:
His eyes are watching, he's waiting for me
I try to escape, but I can't break free
The mask he wears, it hides his face
I feel his presence, it's a haunting grace

Chorus:
Halloween night, the terror's alive
The evil's out, it's ready to thrive
No one's safe, no one can hide
The boogeyman's coming, and he won't subside

Bridge:
The screams are echoing, they pierce the air
The chase is on, I'm filled with despair
I hear his breathing, it's getting near
The end is coming, it's what I fear

Chorus:
Halloween night, the terror's alive
The evil's out, it's ready to thrive
No one's safe, no one can hide
The boogeyman's coming, and he won't subside

Outro:
The night is over, the sun will rise
But the memory of fear, it won't demise
The legend lives on, for all to know
On Halloween night, the boogeyman will show.
