Thriller
By MICHAEL Jackson
1st verse ( fill in the gaps with the followin words:
heart, paralyzed, moonlight, eyes, frezze, terror,
dark, midnight, scream) .
It's close to midnight and something evil's
lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that
almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound
before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right
between the eyes
You're paralyzed
Chorus
'Cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no one's gonna save you from the beast
about to strike
You know it's thriller, thriller night
You're fighting for life inside a killer, thriller
tonight
2nd verse (match the salves)
You hear a door slam
this is just imagination
and hope that
You feel the cold hand
creepin' up behind
You close your eyes
there's nowhere left to run
But all the while you hear
you'll ever see the sun
You're out of time
Chorus
the creature
and realize
and wonder if
3rd Verse (Order the sentences in the paragraph)
I'll make you see
They will possess you unless you change the
number on your dial
Now is the time for you and I to cuddle close
together
They're out to get you, there's demons closing in
on every side
All thru the night I'll save you from the terrors on
the screen
Chorus
4th verse ( fill the gaps with one of the following
words: doom, creatures, stench thousand, hell,
shiver. Rot, tomb. Alive evil, neighbourhooh, land
darkness, blood)
Darkness falls across the
land
The midnight hour is close
at hand
Creatures crawl in search
of blood
To
terrorize
y'awl's
neighborhood
And whosoever shall be
found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
or no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller
The Halloween customs we celebrate each
October 31st began long ago. They came from the
ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. The Celtic
people lived about 2000 year ago in area which we now call
Ireland, the United Kindom, and France. The festival of
Samhain marked the end of summer, the harvest, and the
beginning of their new year. The Celtic people believed that
on the night of October 31st, the ghosts of the dead returned
to earth. They built huge bonfires and
dressed in costumes to ghosts good thing to
eat.
The modern customs of Halloween are
similar to the customs of Celtic people
because many immigrants came to America
and brought their beliefs and traditions
with them. The carving of a Jack-o-Lantern is thought to
come from the tradition of Irish children. They would carve
potatoes or turnips and light them for their
Halloween celebrations. The name Jack
came from an Irish man who people
thought was so wicked neither heaven or
the devil wanted him. Jack is thought to
have roamed the earth looking for a place
to rest.
Trick or Treating is thought to have come from the
English people when they celebrated the religious festival of
All Saints Day. On this day, the poor would beg for food and
would be given Soul Cakes to pray for the souls of the
relatives of rich people.
Halloween in America is celebrated on October 31st. The
celebrations are held in towns, schools, churches, and homes.
Most children still dress in costumes and continue to trick or
treat in safe neighbourhoods or attend festivals at churches
or schools.
