Gather in close and draw near to the flame,

For the shadows whisper a secret name!

In the darkness deep the truth takes flight

From the Holy Book, to go haunt the night!

We'll speak of tales where fear resides,

In silent rooms where evil hides!

Of temptations and tombs and ghouls and ghosts;

of a valley filled with a decaying host!

These stories are old and from ancient days;

They hold warnings deep, in a darkened haze!

And for those who seek the whispered remark,

  Hear the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark!

Join us for worship…if you dare!

You thought that witches were only for “Hocus Pocus” or “Wicked?” Not so fast! One of the most terrifying tales in all of Scripture centers around King Saul seeking out the ghoulish guidance of the Witch of Endor. And what does King Saul want from this witch? For her to conjure the spirit of a long-dead prophet! Does it get any more “classic horror” than that?
