Some might love the plot twists that strain all logic and sense in Goosebumps but after awhile they can wear thin. There is a lot less stupid logic (or maybe "kid logic.") The scares seem a little more plausible. This is not a bad thing! The plot flows a lot better. Still, when compared to a Goosebumps book with a similar premise like HorrorLand one can see how it is a lot less silly. It's still about tweens trapped in a possibly haunted amusement park at night.
That is not to say it is all serious and not fun. Are there still some false jump scares and "screaming with no sound coming out" that Stine is known for? Sure, but it seems a little toned down. I mean it's no House of a Thousand Corpses but it is slightly more serious than your typical 'Bumps. Not quite.įirstly, I'd say that this is for a SLIGHTLY older audience. Is it just a Goosebumps book published under a solo title? Well. Upon first glance it appears very much like his Goosebumps. Well this is one of his stand alone novels. Stine's Goosebumps from my youth (and even reading some of the newer ones released since I have grown up.) But would you believe that I have NEVER read a non Goosebumps book by Stine? No Fear Street, no Mostly Ghostly, none of his stand alone novels. He lives in New York, NY.Īs an adult I have been rereading R.L.
