my 10th monster movie garage-y tune. The She-Beast was an Italian/Yugoslavian low-budget horror flick from the 60's - genuinely creepy at the start...it unfortunately descends into utter goofy camp towards the end.

Story behind the song
One of my cyber-friends wanted a ballad on this album. I'm afraid this is likely as close as I'll get - sorry, Mappee - this'll have to do!
Lyrics
The She-Beast
This is not your game –this is not your town
Van Helsing tells the tale - the curse to drag you down
Return now long foretold – the chilling words of old
You don’t want to know her name
Out before the dawn – you try to leave this place
Something pulls you down – a touch, a cold embrace
You don’t believe your eyes – malevolent demise
You don’t want to know her name
This the past unseen - this the greater fear
Awakened in the dark – she will find you here
Horrifies your soul – you become the title role
You don’t want to know your name
A long 200 years - the curse now laid to rest
The town without a soul – at peace but still possessed
The scene now fades to black – you feel you may be back
You don’t want to know her name
You don’t want to know her name
You don’t want to know her…
