Ghosts of Fear Street, Fright Christmas | Review

Title: Ghosts of Fear Street #15 – Fright Christmas Author: Stephen Roos (as by R.L. Stine) Cover Artist: John Youssi

INTRODUCTION

The cover artwork got my hopes up. Never before has Silent Night looked so loud loud loud! Unfortunately the plot is less interesting. The ghostwriter must have organized a White Elephant Plot Exchange, because the entire story is lifted from A Christmas Carol. It’s safe to assume R.L. Stine forgot this book exists, too, because he penned his own adaptation of the Dickens classic in 2017 entitled Young Scrooge.

I was fully prepared to skip this book. Bah humbug. But last night I was visited by The Ghost Of Christmas Past. The spectre said unto me, “Fright Christmas had an audiobook adaptation in 1997 starring Kieran Culkin. This wasn’t the most successful Christmas project for the Culkins, but skipping it could be seen as an insult. If they have the power to put a star in Hollywood Boulevard for Macaulay, think about how easily they could put you in the ground!”

Well, I’ve had a sudden change of heart. Let’s give this book a chance! One last toast to has-been ghosts, the review will be soon.

STORY REVIEW

Kenny Frobisher is less of a “peace on earth” guy and more of a “piece of work” guy. When his sister visits Santa in the mall, Kenny spoils the occasion by calling it all fake. He even rips Mall Santa’s beard off! Maybe Kenny is banking on the resale value of coal. Anyways, Kenny wisely dips out after the beard stunt sparks a child riot. He sneaks into a secret control room, pushing past a big sign that says DANGER! KEEP OUT! So maybe Kenny is also banking on the resale value of Darwin Awards.

Kenny decides to flip some random switches, which was quality entertainment in a pre-internet America. This great plan backfires when Kenny locks himself in. Kenny fears that the ghostwriter is copying another story from the 1840s ⁠— until the door mysteriously creaks open. He emerges to discover an abandoned mall. He must have stayed past closing time. Or maybe he timetraveled to the early 2020s.

Santa rises from the shadows, but this fella ain’t holly-jolly. He looks ticked. Truly chilling. If that doesn’t scare you, have you considered SANTA is an anagram for SATAN? Truly chilling. Kenny yanks down on Santa’s beard, but this one doesn’t detach. Uh oh. Santa reprimands Kenny for his naughtiness and warns that the boy will be visited by three spirits. Kenny flees to Dalby’s Department Store, which is a cute bit of continuity, as this store is an important location in the main Fear Street series. Kenny decides it’s a super good time to nap on one of the luxury beds. Yes he’s trapped in a mall and haunted by ghosts, but it’s 8:59 (PM!!) and he’s sleepy, dagnabbit.

Kenny wakes up to the revving of a motorcycle. He meets an intimidating biker named Night Watchman. The guy claims he’s been watching Kenny all the time, but I guess “All Hours Watchman” doesn’t sound cool. This dude shows Kenny a flashback, a day when Kenny bullied some kid named “Tiny Timmy” in front of the whole school. Of course, Kenny enjoys revisiting this memory. To keep his grip on the situation, Night Watchman simply rams Kenny with his bike. Truly an underrated rhetorical strategy.

Eyes snapping open, Kenny finds himself back in the department store. The bed has been torn to shreds. He meets a wintery ghost named Ice Man. This fixes a huge problem in the original Dickens story: the total lack of wrestler-style character names. Ice Man whisks Kenny away to show him how the Frobishers are handling Christmas Eve without their son. Kenny’s sister seems pretty upset, but Mr. Frobisher offers helpful advice such as

“These things happen, honey.”

Think that sounds cold? Turns out, the family is only sad because their dog is lost. They haven’t even noticed Kenny is gone. I guess if you live on Fear Street, you develop an Oregon Trail mindset. Sometimes we have two kids, sometimes we have one kid, oh well what can you do.

Kenny is woken once more, this time by techno lights and crazy music, and he finds himself in an open grave. After all, you can’t spell GRAVE without RAVE. There’s also an unknown figure skulking around above him. Kenny pleas for help, but the figure turns out to be a hooded ghost. The spooky dude points a skeleton-finger at Kenny, and a hoard of ghost kids descend on our protagonist. Oh my God, they killed Kenny!

Back in the mall again, an electrician shakes Kenny awake. The boy fell asleep in the control room. Feeling a sudden change of heart, he buys a gift for his sister. When Kenny gets home, the family dog has indeed gone missing, just like in his dream. Luckily, Tiny Timmy happened to catch the dog and returns it, upgrading him to Regular Timmy. But then Timmy reveals a spooky skeleton-finger, signifying that he was the mysterious ghost from Kenny’s dream. I made a visual aid to convey the terror.

THE VERDICT

If you’d like to create your own adaptation of A Christmas Carol, it might be beneficial to follow this simple set of rules: Don’t.

So concludes our third Biennial Holiday Special. Maybe by 2025, Elon Musk will buy this blog for billions of dollars and replace me with an AI. If you don’t want me replaced by a robot (or maybe you chuckled while reading this entry), feel free to leave a like or drop a message.

BEST QUOTE

“Sorry, Kenny,” Dad said softly. “We were reading A Christmas Carol. I know how you hate it.” “Not anymore, Dad,” I said, […] “I love it! It’s one of my favorite stories now!”

Why? At what point was that experience anything other than traumatizing?

A Storm for Christmas / Julestorm AU thoughts

Is it just me, or was Stine's boyfriend kind of constantly rude and abrupt with her? I feel like she could've done a lot better if she'd met Sara at the airport and just told him it's over.

(She's at least potentially bisexual, given she had an affair with her hairdresser)

Bone china warrior

I see the eyes that watch for me I hear those sharp edged tongues Think they can make me hide away When I am caught and stung But I am made of china For I’m a china doll Broken into pieces But glued together I’m still whole All the venom in the world Can’t bring me down Because it is in my blood and I wear a warrior’s crown! You think you can break this china doll with all the things…

The Nightmare Room #10, Full Moon Halloween | Review

Title: The Nightmare Room #10 – Full Moon Halloween

Author: R.L. Stine

Cover Artist: Tristan Elwell

INTRODUCTION

Around this time each year, Illinoisans dye the Chicago River green. I'm no ecologist, but I know drinking a Shamrock Shake reeks havoc on my organs. I can't imagine living in one.

For those of us above water, it's St. Patty's! You might assume Full Moon Halloween is a Halloween book. You might assume I failed to write my review in time for Halloween. You'd be wrong. This is a Saint Patrick's Day themed book. If you own a copy, DO NOT DOUBLE CHECK THAT CLAIM.

STORY REVIEW

The book starts by introducing four or five kids, a basketball-team-worth of generic children. You could imagine the Boston Celtics and it wouldn't make any difference. These lifelong friends are getting ready to celebrate the upcoming holiday. Hunting clovers, pinching strangers, getting punched because you pinched the wrong stranger, and you know the rest. Our lads and lasses are horrified when their science teacher invites them to a St. Patrick's Day party at his house. This would be considered weird behavior for anybody else, but "Mr. Moon" gets a pass because he set the bar high:

Ray said [...] "I'll bet you he's still in the lab, injecting weird things into bird eggs."

Tristan said [...] "I mean, I like the idea of putting strange things in eggs and then seeing what you get."

Stine knows kids.

Our heroes will be trapped by societal convention. Although, they might be able to sneak out early. With any luck, they'll still have ample time for step dancing and bobbing for corned beef. When the night comes, the kids try to forget about the day that brought them here. It doesn't help that the only people in attendance (aside from the protags) are Mr. Moon, his wife, and his son.

Things take a turn for the "genuinely creepy" when metal bars slam down over all the windows. It's a werewolf trap, and they've been caught. If you need me to spell it out, a grown man has just kidnapped multiple children and is hellbent on proving one of them is a secret monster. A man of pure reason, Mr. Moon employs the scientific method. Since he's already got his hypothesis (i.e. ONE OF THESE KIDS IS A WEREWOLF), it's time for some experiments.

PHASE 1. Have the kids dress up as werewolves to see if any of them look particularly werewolfish. Genius.

PHASE 2. Unleash a swarm of plogs. I think it's way funnier if I don't explain what "plogs" are.

PHASE 3. Feed the kids raw meat to gauge their reactions. This step might sound stupid, but in his defense it'd be pretty definitive proof should one of the kids shout "WOW THIS IS SO DELICIOUS!"

PHASE 4. Wolfsbane, which will poison a werewolf. I suppose it'll poison a child, too. Probably why it's #4.

Somehow, the results for his first three experiments are inconclusive. Wolfsbane seems to be the only option left, so the kids are forced to drink some. Epic prank! The wolfsbane is fake because ????, and the real PHASE 4 is simply waiting until midnight to see who turns into a werewolf. In a shocking twist, it's none other than Mr. and Mrs. Moon who transform into snarling beasts.

Epic prank! The Moons orchestrated a night of terror to delight the kids, which makes perfect sense because ????. The whole werewolf hunt was nothing more than a joke, and they threw on monster costumes for one final scare. No really. Cops eventually arrive to arrest the Moons. So far, it's the only part of this conclusion that makes sense. Turns out, Mr. Moon's son reported the kidnapping, and apparently kidnapping is a crime. That must be a new law.

An additional fold to this prank (and I swear I'm not making this up) was setting the clocks ahead a couple minutes. The kids' curfew was 11PM, so this doesn't benefit them at all. No, it only serves to tee up another twist. Two of the kids turn into werewolves. By complete accident, Mr. Moon nearly caught two monsters. The Moons have already been carted away, leaving the normal kids alone with two bloodthirsty beasts.

Only R.L. Stine, ladies and gentlemen.

THE VERDICT

This book was really good.

...If you love plot contrivances. Epic prank!

BEST QUOTE

"My cousin Benny is an animal," she said. "He's four years old, and he still bites."

Tristan reached into a cabinet for a bag of chocolate chip cookies. "Really? What do you do when he bites you?"

"I bite him back!" Rosa replied.

When I was a child, I knew a guy who (in dead seriousness) claimed he once bit his dog to assert dominence. This man owned a corgi.
