Goosebumps: Welcome To Dead House is definitely one of the more stand-out entries in the series, and not just because it’s the first book. And why do they all say they used to live in her house, when it’s impossible for them to have all lived there? With Amanda being the only one who seems to suspect that there’s something strange going on in Dark Falls, will she be able to convince her parents before the strange happenings turn deadly? They seem strangely intense at times, look really pale, stay out of the sun, and their dog seems to hate them. But something doesn’t feel right to Amanda about her new friends. However, they do meet a group of kids who they start to play with. There are also very few people in town, with the two kids walking through Dark Falls and not seeing a single adult out and about, no cars on the road, and most of the houses curtained up and closed. That, coupled with the strange nightmares about her family being dead, leads to Amanda feeling pretty on edge. She hears whispering coming from her closet at night, and her curtains billow and move despite there being no draught. Whilst Josh is dead-set against moving to the new home, Amanda is at least trying to make a go of it, but when she begins to see strange, ghostly children around the house she begins to think that there might be something wrong with their home. The first book in his series is G oosebumps: Welcome To Dead House, and focuses on two young teens, Amanda and Josh, as their family moves to an old house in the small town of Dark Falls after their father inherits the home from a long-lost uncle. Stine, who is allegedly one of the few children’s series authors from the 90s not to use ghost writers, has said that he drew inspiration for his series from having grown up reading Tales From The Crypt comics as a kid, and wanting to produce scary stories to inspire future generations of horror fans. Either way, Goosebumps is a book series that is still near unmatched for its popularity, its cultural reach, and for making its author one of the highest selling horror writers of all time.Ī middle-grade horror anthology series, Goosebumps would feature a brand new story, with new protagonists, in each volume released.
Depending on your age it will be books that you saw around in your childhood, but were perhaps a bit too old for, or they’ll have been books that you’ll have memories of reading possibly even being the thing that helped you to discover horror at a young age. For many, Goosebumpsis a name that they’ll know well.
