Hairy Scary Castle

The Hairy Scary Castle is a scary story for young children that is told through song. Kids sing the song and make the sound effets themselves. Teachers often use the song in schools.

The Hairy Scary Castle is full of rooms… and who knows what you might find in them! Slowly, you push open the door into the room… and it’s full of rattling skeletons!

In the Hairy Scary Castle,
In the Hairy Scary Castle,
In the Hairy Scary Castle,
Where the skeletons RATTLE,
And the ghosts go BOO!

You open the door to the next room… and it’s full of squeaking rats and flapping bats.

In the Hairy Scary Castle,
In the Hairy Scary Castle,
In the Hairy Scary Castle,
Where the rats go SQUEAK,
And the bats go FLAP!
Where the skeletons RATTLE,
And the ghosts go BOO!

You open the next door and you enter the shadowy hallway with a big old grandfather clock standing at the bottom of a dark flight of creaky stairs.

In the Hairy Scary Castle,
In the Hairy Scary Castle,
In the Hairy Scary Castle,
Where the clock TICK TOCKs
And the stairs go CREAK!
Where the rats go SQUEAK,
And the bats go FLAP!
Where the skeletons RATTLE,
And the ghosts go BOO!

You climb the stairs and open the door to the bedroom… and the wind goes whooshing through… and all the doors behind you go bang.

In the Hairy Scary Castle,
In the Hairy Scary Castle,
In the Hairy Scary Castle,
Where the wind goes Whoosh,
And the doors go BANG
Where the clock TICK TOCKs
And the stairs go CREAK!
Where the rats go SQUEAK,
And the bats go FLAP!
Where the skeletons RATTLE,
And the ghosts go BOO!

Last of all, you open the door to the attic… and the ghosts go Boo!
