Product Description
Time for more terror… A new short story collection, following on from RL Stine’s hugely successful NIGHTMARE HOUR, now in paperback.
“Some stories are too terrifying to tell,” says RL Stine. “They are the ones that live in the darkest corners of my mind. The ones that give me chills in the dead of night. The ones that I must tell you now – or they will haunt me forever…”
Read the terrifying story of a babysitter who loves evil tricks… the chilling tale of a boy who dared to lie down in an ancient mummy case… the frightful story of two boys dying to have the scariest Halloween ever…
When the lights fade, the world that we know as real slips into shadow – and the cold, moonlit world of the Haunting Hour is upon us!

Stories that will make you scared
30 April 2005
Format:Hardcover
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.

Stine creepers beware!
7 Mar 2002
Format:Hardcover
This book is full of spooky tales! R.L. Stine writes the tales of this book. Here are the chapters "The Halloween dance," "The Bad baby sitter," "Revenge of the Snowman," "How to bargain with a dragon," "The mummy's dream," "Are we there yet?" "Take me with you," "My imaginary friend," "Losers," and "Can you draw me?" These tales will haunt you forever. The Halloween dance is about these kids who got hit a by a truck but they thought they didn't know they did, so this other kid came and told them there was a huge mansion with a party about to start. The three kids went to a graveyard then a big gust of wind came and suddenly thousands of hands come flying out of their graves the two kids want to run away but the other kid told them to stay for the "dead" party. To find out what happens next you need to read the book!!
