Because Buffy the Vampire Slayer debuted in the Spring of 1997, there was no Halloween episode in the first season. However, Simon and Schuster’s series of tie-in novels fixed that oversight by including an original story that expands on Buffy Summers’ first year at Sunnydale High. Here the Chosen One is still getting used to […]

As you may recall, we had learned several years back that writer/director Tom Holland was working on a sequel to his 1985 vampire movie Fright Night, which was taking the form of a novel rather than a feature film. What’s the latest on that? Well, Holland’s sequel tale hasn’t yet been told, but this week we’re hearing […]

The Werewolf of Fever Swamp was originally published in December 1993 (Spine #14). The series adaptation aired on Friday, May 17, 1996 (runtime: 22 minutes and 26 minutes). As a kid I was always taught not to judge a book by its cover, but when it came to Goosebumps I did it all the time. […]

Baronet Books is best known for its Great Illustrated Classics series, but in the ‘90s, the Waldman imprint took a walk on the scary side. Between 1995 and 1997, various authors contributed to a set of children’s horror anthologies called Fright Time. Kids who stumbled upon these books — often at local discount stores, such […]

With the success of both Fear Street and Goosebumps in the early ‘90s, it only made sense to combine them into one series. And R. L. Stine’s Ghosts of Fear Street is essentially that. Just the kiddos are now the targets of undue terror in Shadyside, though the dangers are strictly otherworldly. Everything from phantoms […]

With copies of Fear Street flying off shelves, it only made sense for other publishers to put out their own young-adult horror series in the 1990s. And Berkley Books’ venture was Terror Academy, a fifteen-volume collection of high-school horror and thrills. C. A. Stokes, writing under the pen name of Nicholas Pine, kicked things off […]

The namesake of Wait Till Helen Comes is no friendly ghost. She may act protective, yet Helen is the furthest thing from a guardian angel. The fact is, the deceptive spirit of Mary Downing Hahn’s 1986 book habitually sets her sights on children, preys on their insecurities and twists the truth to her advantage. Indeed, […]
