Summer vacation is over. The days are shorter, the nights are longer, and this year, an unthinkable darkness is blowing in with the falling leaves.
No one knows it yet, but something is creeping up, something sinister.
A season of evil is just beginning, and it will become an unstoppable force before anyone knows it’s happening. An evil that is never tired, and always hungry.
No one will be prepared for what they must do to survive…
No one will heed the warnings, until it is too late…
This Fall, lock your doors, board your windows, and do not let your neighbors, friends or families into your home. The dead ARE walking, and they ARE hungry.
Prepare yourself for a season of fear…the Obliging Victims’…Autumn Creeping.
Rated R for strong language, sexual situations, drug use, graphic gore and violence, and adult themes. Children under seventeen not permitted without adult supervision.
Chapter one of the Seasons of the Hungry Dead saga

Somethin's Creepin' Up

Summer’s dyin we all can smell it
Somethin weird in the air this year
But I think we should talk about it
People sayin’ the end is near
Don’t care about the Revelation
Only words in a book I don’t read
But I sense a great tribulation
Chewing up through the dirt at our feet
Did you hear that a girl lilled her landlord
Tore a hole in his throat with her teeth
Or That thing at the lake by the graveyard
All those fish washing up on the beach
All’s I know gonna leave all the lights on
Cuz I don’t wanna feel so alone
I don’t jnow what I’m so damn afraid of
But I think it’s on it’s way home
I don’t think that I can remember
Such a dread in my heart as I’ve had
Since the middle of thiss past September
When I thought things were gonna get bad
But it’s been such a heavy quiet
Nothing more than the whispers I hear
Trying not to disturb the silence
As we wait for the ghost to appear
Did uou see in the news ‘bout the children
Getting bit by their teachers at school
Just a day past the meteor showers
And the cannibal rats at the zoo
I don’t know what I feel at the moment
Should I run should I hide should I stay
But I think that I’ll probably ignore this
If you ask me all I can say
I won’t turn around
Somethins creepin up
I don’t hear that sound
Somethin’s creepin up
Just pretend you cannot see it
Watch tv and don’t repeat it
Somethin’s creepin up
Reaching out to drag us down
Somethin’s creepin up
Inevitability freezing me, seizing me
Numbing out the imminent danger
I know is real
Whatever is happening I believe
It’s almost upon us now
I won’t turn around
Somethins creepin up
I don’t hear that sound
Somethin’s creepin up
Just pretend you cannot see it
Watch tv and don’t repeat it
Somethin’s creepin up
Reaching out to drag us down
Somethin’s creepin up
I can see the bloody writing
On the walls no use in hiding
Getting closer by the hour
Something wicked to devour
To devour us
Somethin’s creepin up
To devour us
Somethin’s creepin up

Bitten

They said to stay
inside of our homes
Lock all our doors
Cower and hide
I didn’t listen to anyone else
And took a walk
On a beautiful night
Out on the streets
It was Halloween
Thought I was alone
Nobody was seen
I started to think
It was all a bad dream
But then I looked down
And saw blood on the leaves
Can you smell the Fires on Jefferson avenue
So much screaming
Gunfire symphonies all around
Suspended in time
Surrounded by death
Awake and aggressively gnawing through
Everything I ever knew
Start as fools and end as ghouls
Decided right then
That I’d seen enough
Turned back to go home
But in my alarm
I didn’thear the thing shambling up
But felt it’s teeth
Sinking into my arm
Can you smell the fires on Jefferson Avenue
So much screaming
Gunfire symphonies all around
Suspended in time
Surrounded by death
Awake and aggressively gnawing through
Everything I ever knew
Start as fools and end as ghouls
Oh god I’m bleeding
I can feel it feeding
But not breathing
I have been bitten
Now I guess my story
Is rewritten
But all the pain has disappeared
I face the end but without fear
I feel the change already here
i’m going to come back

A Survivor's Story
05:58

Do you know what it feels like to bash in somebody’s head
Because they have turned into one of the hungry dead
Have a seat I’d like to tell you what I’ve learned about this world
We don’t have a no we don’t have a chance
To survive this thing
And I don’t think I want to do this dance
After what I saw this year
The first one it was my brother
Morning after Halloween
Stabbed him througj the eye with scissors
He was only seventeen
Then my neighbor and her daughter
Dead for days but moving fast
Came in through my bedroom window
Covered in blood and broken glass
I’d never felt so alone
Or unsafe inside my home
It’s a world where the corpses of my
Friends and family try to eat me
Every day is gore and mayhem
Everything’s dissolved completely
What’s the point in running hiding from the jaws of the unliving
When I know that at this rate, I will be crazy by Thanksgiving
I ran outside and found my mother
Her legs were gone she couldn’t walk
But I knew she could still bite me
That’s when I picked up the rock
We don’t have a no we don’t have a chance to survive this thing
And I don’t think I wanna waste my time
Trying not to die
We don’t have a no we don’t have a chance to survive this thing
And I don’t think I wanna do this dance
after what I’ve saw this…
Just to wait for my turn this…
To become like them this year

There wasn’t any reason
Nothing to put your finger on
Just an unlucky season
We wish we could forget yeah
But who could ever
We will remember
This as the Autumn of the Hungry Dead
But we won’t say goodbye
And we will have to try
To see what lies
Beyond the end of the world
They all woke up at once
With open empty eyes
A desperate taste for us
And a burning will to rise
We were caught unawares
never warned never seemed
To be real to be true but it was
Rotting feet dragging through
Fallen leaves silently
Patiently Never tired
But who could ever
We will remember
This as the Autumn of the Hungry Dead
But we won’t say goodbye
And we will have to try
To see what lies
Beyond the end of the world

The Obliging Victims Cincinnati, Ohio
The Obliging Victims is a band of one—the brainchild of Cincinnati musician Kelley Kombrinck (vocalist/guitarist for
longtime Cincy band “Pike”) who writes performs and produces every aspect of the dark psychedelic rock project.
A blend of sixties and seventies rock refracted through a prism of modern influences (grunge, LA psych scene, doom) to create a fuzzy, lo fi, psychedelic trip.
