Case of the Vampire Toenails is an equal part funny and spooky story guaranteed to get you in

the Halloween spirit. The Case of the Vampire Toenails is a story written from the perspective of

EPI Artist, Daniel who is in for the scare of life when he tries a new topping on his

pizza...vampire toenails! Take a listen to find out if Daniel is able to solve the Case of the

Vampire Toenails.

5:24 "Spooky Song"

This piece was written by the artists of The Cultural Education Center for the Arts (CECA). It

was created in a songwriting class where artists made all choices about the lyrics, key,

instrumentation, melodies, and rhythms, with assistance from an instructor. The voices of these

artists are also used in the last section of the song, so listen closely!

Monsters come out to play

Mummies are gonna dance around

Ghosts are screaming

Werewolves are having a fun time

Bats Fly around

Spiders crawl out of the walls

A Haunted House Glows in the night

If you knock on the door you get all kinds of candy

Reeses Taste awesome and are the best

Candy Corn Stick to my teeth

M&M’s Come in lots of colors

Sour Patch kids are super sweet

Milky ways are good

You get it all, all kinds of candy

We want to thank artists at EPI and CECA for their creative storytelling and songwriting! Thank

you to artists at ART Center for this incredible album artwork! Listen in next week to hear the

second part of our Halloween experience.
