I'm going to be brutally honest. Some of the stories I really didn't enjoy as much as I wanted to. They just didn't fit my taste. I didn't think that the stories were too good, but there were a few that I died for.
The Bad Babysitter: 7/5 - I can't believe this story! It was amazing! It was very original, and very terrifying at the same time!! It's a great story!!
The Halloween Dance 5/5 - I loved the concept of this story. The ending is great, and very peculiar and weird. A great story overall!!
Revenge Of The Snowman 5/5 - This is another great story. It's really original, and the ending is very scary. Like, actually, VERY scary. It's another of the great ones!!
Those are my favorite stories. The others didn't really have that "wow" factor. But, it's R.L. Stine, so who can really resist?
The Haunting Hour takes up where Nightmare Hour left off with Stine dishing up another 10 stories that will give you something else to think about as you go to sleep at night. Like any anthology there's stories you'll like more than others but there's enough that you would call sensational to rate the entire collection five stars.
The Haunting Hour starts of with two best stories of the collection. The first is Halloween Dance where two boys ditch their mother's thrown party as it is too babyish, meet another kid on their street who tells them where the best Halloween party is, at the caretakers hut in the cemetery. As the dead rise from their graves to attend the boys decide they won't be noticed in their costumes.
The Bad Baby-Sitter will have kids running out the door the next time their new babysitter suggests baking cookies as they read about Matthew and Courtney's mud cookies which will give their irritating neighbours their ultimate comeuppance!
Revenge of the Snowman is the tale of bullying a know it all kid who thinks he's real cool but getting your just deserts in the end as well!
How to Bargain With a Dragon is a fantasy tale of boy begging for work so he can feed his family from an evil dragon master who tells him he'll only get a job if he brings him the last free dragon.
The Mummy's Dream is another story where a prank goes horribly wrong for a mischievous boy while visiting the museum.
Are We There Yet has two little kids facing the terror of waking up on a road trip and discovering their parents have disappeared.
Take Me With You is the tale of a little girl who likes to collect dolls whose father brings her an old antique clothing chest that isn't empty.
My Imaginary Friend is the tale of a boy who commits crimes and gets into all kinds of trouble blaming it all on his imaginary friend who his mother tells him to grow up and get rid of.
Losers is the tale of two losers who make fun of others, torment animals and sabotage hard worked on entries at the local carnival just for kicks. These losers are about to discover why you don't mess with carnie folk.
Can You Draw Me is the tale of a talented young artist who while trying to score with the girl from school he likes by sketching her portrait while she models for him, has his hand take a mind of its own drawing over her image with things which disgust her and start the process of making him rather unpopular and in trouble at school.
A good collection, there's even pictures by 10 different artists, one at the start of every story, get The Haunting Hour along with The Nightmare Hour. Two of the best ways to kill a couple of hours!
This is a great book. The stories are scary and have twists that double the enjoyment.
My 7 year old grandson and I have our special time together reading after he comes home from school. He loves these kind of stories and will sit still while I read. I do sound effects and character voices which makes the stories fun for me too.
I purchased Beware and Nightmare Hour: Time for Terror both by R.L. Stine, that are equally good.
_The Haunting Hour_ by R.L.Stine was very suspenseull and full with horror. When Amber's dad brings home an antique trunk that she doesn't want to take on her cruise, that night she hears a voice saying "take me with you." At first she just thinks it was a nightmare, but later a ghost comes out of the trunk and into her body since Amber declares that she won't take the trunk on her cruise. Amber was so mad at her dad for not listening to her. Then when she gets on the cruise ship, the cruise ship is there...is her cruise gonig to be a disaster?
This is a collection of R.L. Stine's spookiest stories. And some of them are really scary. My favorite story that scared me the most was "Losers" because i want to remind the bullies at my school, IF THEY CALL ME A LOSER, THEY'RE GONNA BE HUMILIATED ONE DAY. Because it's a about kids who disrepect other kids, and what happens to them? They become the laughing stock of the carnival.
STORIES:
Halloween Dance: Creepy, talking about what happens when you die 8/10
The Bad Babysitter: Wierd, but enjoyable. About a babysitter who hurts kids with a making a minature cookie that looks like their face
And there's alot more. But I'm not gonna give it away. Good book, read it.
