I will never be too old to love Goosebumps! This was one of the first ones I read when I was young and reading it again brought back so many good memories. I think this is probably one of my favourite Goosebumps stories, something about it just really hits the spot for me. This story still holds up all these years later, I enjoyed the hell out of my reread of this one! I had forgotten most of the details of the story so it was like I was experiencing it again for the first time and I fell in lov...

So it’s like this. 12 year old Amanda and her 11 year old little brother Josh aren’t too thrilled about being uprooted from the house they’ve lived in their entire life just because some dead Uncle Charlie (that no one even knew anyway) left their Dad a house in his will. But here they are in Dark Falls anyway, because really, there’s only so much whining and complaining a kid can do. So like I said, now we’re at this creepy old house covered in shade trees (along with the rest of the neighborho...

Welcome to Dead House (Goosebumps #1), R.L. StineAmanda and Josh think the old house they have just moved into is weird. Spooky. Possibly haunted. And the town of Dark Falls is pretty strange, too. But their parents don't believe them. You'll get used to it, they say. Go out and make some new friends. So Amanda and Josh do. But these new friends are not exactly what their parents had in mind. Because they want to be friends... forever.عنوانها: به خانه مرگ خوش آمدید؛ به خانه ی مردگان خوش آمدید؛ ا...

“We killed someone who was already dead.” There, that one sentence just about sums up how ridiculous the concept of this book is.I remember the time when I first started reading, which was some four years ago. Our school library was so poorly stocked. The only books it held were the many different editions of classic books and THESE. Goosebumps books. I used to read them and love them then, but now, I don’t even want to think I used to love them once. The Plot Amanda and Josh are not at a

Goosebumpy alright! This is the first book of the original book series of “Goosebumps” CREEPY GOOD BOOK Obviously I wasn’t expecting a scary bloody tale, since this is Goosebumps, not H.P. Lovecraft, but I am glad to say that the book is quite well written, with an engaging narrative and a kinda of “cliffhanger” or “shocking last line” on each chapter making you to keep reading.I found ingenious that the main character (and narrator of the story) is a teenage girl, due this is the first boo

The very first book in the Goosebumps series.I was intrigued by these books when I was young, I would see them in the library and check them out just because the cool looking covers and not read them when I got home; I guess I wasn't ready back then. Well I had the curiosity but following through and actually read, not yet. I was too stuck on graphic novels. Lol.Okay on with the review, this first one was a bit of lag in the first chapters but it was a cool little exciting read in the end and ac...

Fun little read. It reminded me of that Tales From the Crypt TV show I used to love as a kid. Yep, full on nostalgia hit! Plus bonus points for the cool cover. And yeah, I know that should't matter, but c'mon! Who doesn't love a nice cover?!

From graphic descriptions of a family gnawing on moldy plates of human bones, to a small town conspiring to murder the new family that has just moved into the creepiest house on the block, Welcome to Dead House easily could work as a standalone novel despite originally being marketed for children under the iconic and popular Goosebumps series. This bit of gothic supernatural horror is extremely dark, and after backlash and censorship in the 1990's from horrified parents and teachers, R.L. Stine

#1 "It will just kill you."The old house that Amanda and Josh just moved into with their parents is not haunted... Or is it? Things get crazy in this ghostly tale of the ominous haunted house.As the first book in the series of the Goosebumps franchise, while not my favorite, I'd have to say it's still one of the great ones.

When it comes to horror movies I like them the same way I like my pizza- extra cheesy. However, the same cannot be said of my horror books. Back when I was a young lady little turd, my favorite place in the world was a tiny library in an old fashioned town called Henderson. My aunt lived up the road, and when I say up, I mean it literally. Once I had a bag full of books I had to lug them up a hill that felt like it would never end. My siblings and I spent a lot of time there in the summers becau...

There's something off about the old house Amanda's dad inherited from a deceased uncle he's never heard of. A cold breeze made me shiver. It was actually a beautiful, hot summer day. But the closer we got to the house, the colder I felt. Welcome to Dead House offers a satisfying blend of camp and creepiness: I started up the stairs and then stopped. Above me on the landing stood a strange girl, about my age, with short black hair. She was smiling down at me, not a warm smile, not a friendly smil...

3.5I feel slightly jipped because it was originally published in 1992 but there were years in the story in here of later, that was obviously changed from the original publishing and it makes me wonder what else, if anything, they might have changed :(. I guess I should have been picky about trying to get first editions after all, dang it. I didn't know they changed things..sorry about the bitterness.Otherwise it was a nice creepy read. Slightly (but not entirely) predictable. Kind of lackluster

Yep...I'm 50 years old and I'm reading Goosebumps books. Why not? The stories are fun, a bit creepy, and have a lot of nostalgia for me. Back when my oldest son was little I used to read these books out loud to him. Sometimes he would read to me. :) We did different voices for the characters and acted out the action, often ending up laughing and just having a great time. My son is now a grown man, married, and stationed in San Diego with the US Navy. This year, I promised myself I would read (or...

4 STARS!Read the original audio book from the 90s on YouTube. It was just as awesome and spooky as I remember it. :)

Amanda and Josh didn't want to move to their new house. It's creepy - they see the faces of children in the windows and hear them whispering and giggling in their rooms. Nobody can turn down a free house, though, and they inherited from their dead uncle in a stroke of luck (I'm not sure "luck" would be the word I'd use). At least the kids in the neighborhood are nice. Well, except for that time they surrounded the siblings in a circle while holding baseball bats in a threatening manner.And Petey...

Alright ladies and gentlemen,The first book of the fabled classic Goosebumps.The house is a freebie. Is haunted.The entire town is, as well. Two siblings discover that fears do come true.Very well drawn up from the master of scare Mr. Stine.The story bears a classic uniqueness of Stine but a cliffhanger ending is his trademark.Turning back my high-school library years, it made my bone chill, yet again.Take all the stars!

I probably won't give any of these full reviews, but I grew up on the Goosebumps series and adored it so much that I've decided to pick it back up from the beginning. I'll probably only be reading the "main"/original series, but we'll see.This was so much more fun than I remembered it being. I know I read this a few times as a kid, and read it again in my teens to find it boring, but I couldn't put it down today and had a blast revisiting Stine's writing style and his weird little ideas. It's pr...

I read this because I promised my 11 year old that I would read it with him. He hates to read anything that isn't a comic book, or at the very least, in graphic novel format. Since he loves all things creepy, I thought that this would be a great way to finally get the kid to read something with actual chapters! I think this is probably as close to perfect as it gets for a reluctant reader like my son. The chapter are short (two or three pages at the most), and yet packed with super-creepy stuff....

Goosebumps!!! This story is about a family that inherits an old house from a relative. They moves to the house which is in a weird neighborhood, known as Dark Falls. But Dark Falls has its own secrets, with huge trees and little sunlight.This is a fun and quick read!I love reading and watching Goosebumps. I think R.L.Stein has done a great job with the series and is fun read for all!

So, my friend Stepheny put it out there that she wanted to read these this summer and was all... I raised my hand. Because when I was a kid, I LOVED these books. They came out around the time I turned 10, and I was that kid who read anything and everything I could. I was the girl who WANTED reading homework. I looked forward to the Scholastic Book Fair all year long. I did the summer reading program and read circles around my classmates. By the time these books were being published, I was alread...
