When I was a pre-teen, I loved the twist-endings and strange happenings in R. L. Stine’s Goosebumps series. But Stine’s new Horrorland series is a marketing stroke of genius.
The series is based on the scary theme park from a book in Stine’s original Goosebumps series. Each book in the Horrorland series re-introduces characters from a Gossebumps book and sends them off to the Horrorland themepark. Scholastic is re-issuing the original books that tie into this new series, so they’re essentially doubling their money by selling new books that make kids want to buy the old ones. Genius
There is something just so creepy about horror stories in amusement parks, isn’t there?
I love it.
I actually won the Escape From Horrorland computer game when I was younger. It was awesome.
I love that game! I still play it actually. I had to adjust some things to get it to work on my laptop, but it runs beautifully.
No way!! We must be kindred spirits.
