Gotta say, the latter half of the 2008-2011 Horrorland series of books are probably some of the worst for me. The first few were an interesting experiment in crafting a standalone story, then devoting the last few chapters to sending them off to Horrorland. The next few that were purely set in Horrorland moving across different characters every book were really just a long "Huh" slog after "Huh?" slog for me.

Best for me is still Werewolf of Fever Swamp, Haunted Mask, How I Learned to Fly and Calling All the Creeps. Oh and of course Welcome to Dead House. Stine is right about that one. It doesn't feel like a Goosebumps story. It's one of the ones that just has a scary, sinister undertone like Stay Out of the Basement, where you can tell something really creepy happened in the past, and you're only getting a glimpse of it in the present. Too bad the sequel was cancelled. That one really begs for a follow-up.
