Halloween Party

(На сцене буквы O C T O B E R, пропитанные кислотой. У появившейся ведьмы индикатор. Она прикасается к буквам, которые краснеют.)

It’s О, and С, and Т, and О, and В, and E, and R:
Come daddy dear it’s time to go, the kids are in the car;
The jack-o’lantern twinkles, and the cats are out of tune;
We’ll watch the witches streaming past the sickle of the moon.

Выходит еще ведьма и колдует.

In the cauldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and blind-worm’s sting,
Lizard’s leg, and owlet’s wing
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.
Double, double, toil and trouble
Fire burn, and couldron bubble.

Halloween

(инсценировка)

– “Granny, I saw a witch go by,
I saw two, I saw three!
I heard their skirts go swish, swish, swish” –
– “Child, ’twas leaves against the sky,
And the autumn wind in the tree”.
– “Granny, broomsticks they bestrode,
Their hats were black as tar,
And buckles twinkled on their shoes”.
– “You saw but shadows on the road,
The sparkle of a star”.
– “Granny, all their heels were red,
Their cats were big as sheep”.
– “I heard a bat say to an owl
– “Child, you must go straight to bed,
’tis time you were asleep”.
– “Granny, I saw men in green,
Their eyes shone fiery red,
Their heads were yellow pumpkins”.
– “Now you’ve told me what you’ve seen
WILL you go to bed?”
– “Granny?”
– “Well?”
– “Don’t you believe…?”
– “What?”
– “What I’ve seen?”
– “Don’t you know it’s Halloween?”
– “Look out! Look out! Clear the track!
The witches are here! They’ve all come back!”

Танец ведьм. Перед танцем стихи.

When the night is as cold as stone,
When lightning severs the sky,
When your blood is chilled to the bone,
That’s the hour when the witches fly.
When the night-owl swoops for the kill,
When there’s death in the fox’s eye,
When the snake is coiled and still,
That’s the hour when the witches fly.
When the nightmare screams in your head,
When you hear a strangled cry,
When you startle awake in your bed,
That’s the hour when the witches fly.
When the sweat collects on your brow,
When the minutes tick slowly by,
When you wish it was then not now,
That’s the hour when the witches fly.

Wandering Wand Game

(Попасть карандашом, привязанным к шляпе, в бутылку из под кефира.)

A flash of white in the darkness,
“Who-oo-ooo?”
Hoots the owl on the post;
A creak and a groan,
A squeak and a moan
“Ooo-oo-ooo!”
Comes the howl –
It’s a ghost!”

Появляется привидение.

A cold, cold night
A brown, brown owl
A grey, grey wolf
A red, red howl.
A big, big house
In a black, black street
An open door
Two white, white feet.
Up, up, up
To a pink, pink door
Two white, white feet
On the orange floor.
A green, green tree
A blue, blue sky
In the yellow moon
A purple cry.
Down, down, down
Down the stairs and out
Stay in bed tonight
There is a ghost about!

Ghostly Groans

(жмурки)

The night is still and somber,
And in the murky gloom,
Arisen from his slumber,
The vampire leaves his tomb.
