Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, monkey brain dinner. 2. Hannibal, Hannibal Lector brain dinner 3. When the crypt goes creak, And the tombstones quake. Spooks come out for a swinging wake.

1. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, monkey brain dinner.
2. Hannibal, Hannibal Lector brain dinner
3. When the crypt goes creak,
And the tombstones quake.
Spooks come out for a swinging wake.
Happy haunts materialize,
And begin to vocalize.
Grim grinning ghosts come out to socialize
