When I was a boy-
I watched a scary movie-
About wolves eating people-
Then I went to bed-
Couldn’t sleep but few hours-
So I got up and roamed, roamed the hall-
While my parents and my sisters-
Sleep, I roamed the hall-
Up and down the hallway-
Slept at my parents feet-
I’m having a night terror-
I’m having a night terror-
I can’t sleep, thinking of wolves eating people-
Next night, I couldn’t sleep-
Thinking about wolves-
Jumping through my bedroom window –
So I got up and roamed, roamed the hallway-
Up and down the hallway-
Looking through my parents-
Bedroom window, I saw a ghost-
In the backyard, it was dressed in white-
With a cowboy hat, with a hatchet-
It was cutting down-
Branches from the tree-
Chop chop chop is all I heard chop chop-
To scared to scream-
I fell asleep at my parents feet-
I’m having a night terror-
I can’t sleep thinking about wolves-
Jumping through my bedroom window-
I can’t sleep, all I hear is chop chop chop-
I’m having a night terror-
Next day, I went into the backyard-
Looked up at that tree-
Saw the chop marks on the tree-
So I ran inside and screamed oahhhgh-
I’m having a night terror-
I can’t sleep, thinking about wolves-
Jumping through my bedroom window-
I’m having a night terror- chop chop chop-
Is all I hear –
Thank you for reading.

Eight is very young to see that movie. I was older so not as bad. I was probably eight or nine, though, when the TV show Kolchak: The Night Stalker came out and I got to watch. I still remember scenes from it when I’m alone at night. Great show, not for kids.

Yes that is scary for kids too. Night Stalker was real, that’s the most scary part.

Oh no, Kolchak was a monster hunter show with Darren McGavin, the father from Christmas Story.
