"Late Nite Creature Feature" is a song by the American folk-punk band Harley Poe. The song tells a story about a character named Geoff Arbuckle who is lured to a place to watch cheesy horror movies. However, there are ghosts in the place who play scary tricks on him. The lyrics mention Alistair, who made a movie with his actress wife, but the film caught fire and cost them both their lives. The ghosts in the place have a plan to set the spirits free so that Geoff doesn't have to endure watching the scary movies. The song introduces Bloody Sue, a ghost who continues to watch the movies she saw back in the 1950s. She died from lack of rest due to her obsession with watching films. Despite the presence of these ghosts, the song suggests that the show must go on and invites the listeners to enjoy the scary movies with a drink and a snack. Overall, the song portrays a dark and spooky atmosphere, combining elements of horror, comedy, and nostalgia for classic horror films. It creates a visual story through the lyrics, inviting the audience to immerse themselves in the world of late-night creature features.
