Luke is a very brave little boy, but
when night falls he hides under his
sheets, absolutely terrified. The
snarling of Blubberhead the monster
makes his hair stand on end…
Blubberhead, you’re such a bore!
Get yourself outside that door!
But in reply, Blubberhead just keeps
snarling and growling. Luke pulls his
sheets up higher and higher – and
the worst thing is the night has only
just begun!
Luke, still shaking with fear, can hear Quiltbury
the ghost creeping up on his bed. He knows it’s
him because he can hear the clanking of his chains.
Quiltbury, get out of here!
I’m going to wet the bed in fear!
But Quiltbury doesn’t pay any attention, and
keeps moving towards Luke with his heavy chains.
Does he want to wrap them around him?
Things are getting pretty scary in Luke’s room: now it’s Verruca the witch
who’s trying to open his window with her broomstick!
Verruca, please, just stay outside,
While I look for a place to hide!
But Verruca keeps trying to get into Luke’s bedroom; maybe she’s going to
turn him into some kind of horrible bug!
And when Luke had finally calmed
down a little, who should appear
but Clankenstein, the evil monster
made of tin and wires who wanders
all around the house.
Your clanking steps and clanking feet
Are making my heart miss a beat!
