about

Homage to the particular kind of hammer you often see in horror movies... not the wooden-handled one you probably have, but the--ah just listen to the song and it explains all!
Whenever you see this hammer in a movie, I hope you'll find yourself pointing and yelling "the HORROR MOVIE HAMMER!"
---------------------------------------------------------------

lyrics

For drivin’ nails home
a hammer’s good
Even if it is
partly wood.

For hitting faces
and backs of heads
One kind of hammer…
knocks them dead!

Horror movie hammer
Horror movie hammer!

You find you’re crawling
Across the floor
A killer’s waiting…
He blocks the door.

You find some hammers
You pick the one
With the steel shaft to get this done

Horror movie hammer
Horror movie hammer
Swing the horror movie hammer
Swing the horror movie hammer!

If you’re the MAIN character then YOU might survive
This defense mechanism might keep you alive
But it seems a little early for that to work out so well
A more likely outcome is I’ll see you in Hell!

[GUITAR SOLO]

So you're the FINAL GIRL--the one who got through alive!
Granted, a relief! Sad that your friends died.
But was it a triumph, all things being equal,
When we all know you'll just DIE
AT THE START OF THE SEQUAL!
