Something wicked that way goes

There are many scary things
around this time of year
Intimidating and strange beings
that try to make you fear

Jumping out from behind
you better watch your back
The spooky ones don't mind
carrying out a sneak attack

When the moment is right
they'll make their move
expecting you to run in fright
but there's something to prove

Putting on a disguise
it's all in great fun
Trying for the surprise
careful, your not the only one

Some may know of the trick
and be one step ahead
Turning the tables quick
having you on the run instead
