Alice's Last Halloween is based off of a screenplay that we started writing 10 years back but never finished. So we found it only fitting, being songwriters at heart, that we try to tell you the story in a 4 and a half minute pop song!

It's a story song about an urban legend, that we heard as kids, that Halloween candy can sometimes be tampered with in order to cause harm to those who eat it. All of this is centered around a character we created named Alice Crowley.

Alice's Last Halloween was composed in the key signature of Ebm Minor.

lyrics
“Alice's Last Halloween”
© 2015 MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP)
All Rights Reserved. Words & Music by
Carly Emerick and Hoyt Emerick

Verse One:
She looked like an older version of Bette Davis or Liz Taylor
Yeah she could have been a movie star
but in this town no one gets too far
It was 1982, I was probably seven then,
We lived in a little town called Monongahela

Chorus:
It was Alice's last Halloween
I saw the knife and I heard her scream
The neighborhood was an angry mob
A museum of the macabre

Alice's last Halloween
A wicked witch with an evil scheme
Now children of the Mon Valley
are haunted by the ghost of Mrs. Crowley

Verse Two:
A cold night in late October carving pumpkins on All Hallows Eve
I was dressed as Bozo the Clown
Trick or tricking as the sun went down
She was passing out home baked goods, to the children of the neighborhood
It was a night that I'll always remember

(Repeat Chorus)

Verse Three:
Found a needle in my candy apple, broken glass in my Hershey's bar
My sister Helen found a razor blade in the cookies that Alice made
The word spread like wild fire, urban legend turned living hell
What exactly happened that night, Alice never lived to tell

(Repeat Chorus)

Ad-Lib:
Alice's last Halloween, ghosts and goblins kill the queen.
Alice's last Halloween, Alice's last Halloween

Lyrics:

“No One Else Could Ever Love You (More Than I Do)” 
©2015, 1998 MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP) 
All Rights Reserved. 
Words & Music by Carly Emerick 

Verse One: 
Well I've been through too many nights with you 
to give you up without a fight and
I don't know if I could learn to let you go
But I don't wanna try tonight

Lead In 1:
You're always turning away
You don't hear me say, "I wanna be around forever"
Maybe this time you will see that you and I should be together

Chorus: 
No one else could ever love you more than I do, no way
No one else could ever give you the love you need, oh and
Day or night when you're out of sight, you're never out of mind, 
oh and
No one else could ever love you more than I do, not like me

Verse Two: 
They say people change, just go their separate ways
But I don't believe they really do, and
Time moves on, yet I know that when you're gone
I'll still be pining over you

Lead In 2: 
You've got the world in your eyes
And you say goodbye before they realize you're leavin'
Maybe this time you won't go 'cause you already know the reason

(Repeat Chorus)

Fading Brunette™ Films Camera Assistant: Hoyt Emerick
Shot Thursday, June 11, 2015 on location at the Renaissance Pittsburgh Hotel, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Theme: 'One Night Only' Heaven returns to Pittsburgh

Starring: Nick Bramlett, Hoyt Emerick & Carly Emerick

Also appearing in this film clip are:
Iron City Aerial - 'The Human Disco Ball'

Fun Facts: Heaven Discotheque was a dancing nightclub that was open from 1979 to 1984 in the former Fulton Building in downtown
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It was Pittsburgh's answer to New York City's Studio 54! DJ's would spin disco, italo-disco, hi-nrg, top 40, new wave, and dance-pop classics! Heaven had a 'no jeans / no t-shirt' dress policy and often local celebrities would be turned away at the door if not dressed accordingly. Heaven was the place to see and be seen! The who's who of the greater Pittsburgh area would often frequent. It was high-tech and high fashion and its large grand marble staircase cemented its place in the hearts of discotheque enthusiasts everywhere! Owner Richard Stern sold his club in mid-1984 to Tom Hayson. Mr. Hayson then did a half-million-dollar renovation on the place and renamed it 'Mirage'.

lyrics
“Mad About You”
©2015 Mrix Muzik (ASCAP) 
All Rights Reserved. Words & Music by Carly Emerick & Hoyt Emerick

Intro:
I'm mad about you

Verse One:
How come you're not talking to me anymore
We had a little fight and you pointed to the door

Lead In:
Now I toss and turn can't sleep at night
Without you nothing's right

Chorus:
Look what your love has done to me
I'm on the edge of insanity
I simply refuse to believe we're through
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you

Verse Two:
I'm driving by your house most every, every day
I was looking through the window when I saw his face

Lead In 2:
Now I tell myself that I'm alright
My love for you has turned to spite

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
And I'm mad at the world and I'm mad at myself
I'm mad that you're in love with somebody else
You've brought me to this now I think I'm going crazy

Break down:
Look what you love has done to me

Pre-Chorus:
Look what your love has done
Look what your love has done

Last Chorus:
Look what your love has done to me
I'm on the edge of insanity
People say I've gone a little bit cuckoo
I'm mad about you, I'm mad about you

Ad-lib: Look what your love has done

lyrics


“Let's Get Something Started” 

© 2012 MRIX MUZIK (ASCAP)
All Rights Reserved. 

Words & Music by Carly Emerick & Hoyt Emerick 

(Spoken bridge written by Justin Honard)



Verse One: 

We are moving to electro underneath the lights

What I see I want to get to know, you're put together right



Lead In:

You move a little closer, stare into my eyes

The bass line keeps us moving while I am hypnotized 

You move me from the dance floor to the corner of the bar

We do two shots of whiskey things are going well so far



Chorus:

Let's get something started, that's all we've gotta do

Let's get something started, let's make our move and start something new

Let's get something started (x4)



Verse Two:

While we're making our acquaintance the DJ plays my song

As our hearts beat to the rhythm, a strange phenomena



Lead In 2:

It feels like I'm in a dream, out of touch with reality

We're getting something started between you and me

Something to last for infinity



(Repeat Chorus)



Spoken Bridge:

My name is Alaska Thunderfuck 5000 from the planet Glamtron

When your spaceship crash lands on a distant planet, 

All you can do is start something new!



(Repeat Chorus)



Side note:
Alaska is best known for competing on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 5. She placed top 3!
