Goosebumps HorrorLand

Goosebumps HorrorLand is a series of books written by R.L. Stine. The series is a serialized adventure welcoming fans to HorrorLand theme park, a vast theme park run by creatures called Horrors. It ran from 2008 - 2011 with nineteen books spanning over two story arcs, a Goosebumps first.

Premise
Each book had two stories. The first ten books had its own self-contained storyline which takes place outside the gates of HorrorLand, with a secondary story thread which leads its main character to HorrorLand only in the final few chapters. The next two books in the series served to wrap up the HorrorLand plot, uniting the characters and villains from the first ten books in a single climactic storyline. This arc featured characters from the original series meeting each other, such as Slappy the Dummy, Carly Beth Caldwell, Sabrina Mason, Billy and Sheena Deep, and Lizzy and Luke Morris.

A new storyline with different characters was introduced in book thirteen. The storyline centered around a HorrorLand gift shop and the protagonists who shopped there. The nineteenth and final book in the series wrapped up the story and brought all the characters from the last six books together.

Enter HorrorLand (story)

 * Main article: Enter HorrorLand (story)

The first twelve books in the Goosebumps HorrorLand series are interconnected. The first ten books in the series tell independent stories, but each book features an "Enter HorrorLand" section at the end of each story. In this section, the protagonists of each book received an invitation to HorrorLand. The eleventh and twelfth books in the series are entirely focused on concluding the combined Enter HorrorLand story.

Other entries
Welcome to HorrorLand: A Survival Guide is a bonus book that was released between books twelve and thirteen (serving as a divider between the two arcs). There is no consistent plot, as it's mainly a humorous book that describes the creatures and attractions of HorrorLand. This book is unnumbered, but is sometimes referred to as book 12.5 or book 0. In the Goosebumps Horrorland 1 - 20 boxed set, it is referred to as book 20.

A promotional book titled Write Your Fright!, which let the reader partake in writing a Goosebumps story, was released after the main series concluded.

Slappy New Year!
The eighteenth book, Slappy New Year!, shares the same name as a book from the Goosebumps Gold series, which was a series canceled in the early 2000s due to R.L. Stine's fallout with Scholastic. Although the titles are nearly identical, Stine confirmed that the Goosebumps Gold version of Slappy New Year! did not have the same plot as the Goosebumps HorrorLand book.

Continuity
The idea of a shared Goosebumps universe ⁠— a concept explored throughout Goosebumps HorrorLand ⁠— was first seen in Return to HorrorLand, which seemingly tries to establish a continuity between Monster Blood, One Day at HorrorLand, and Bad Hare Day. While the books in Goosebumps HorrorLand don't completely contradict Return to HorrorLand, they seem to retcon it to some degree. In Goosebumps HorrorLand, Lizzy doesn't seem to know that anything truly evil is going on in the park until a Horror emails her. Meanwhile, the concept of HorrorLand being evil is presented to Lizzy early in Return to HorrorLand and reaffirmed at the end.

The series also features direct sequels to Deep Trouble and The Haunted Mask that takes place a year after the original books. This conflicts with the events of Deep Trouble II and The Haunted Mask II, as those too take place a year after their predecessors. This is either an oversight or the HorrorLand sequels take place in an alternative timeline where the sequels from the original series never happened. HorrorLand also features books that take place in the Monster Blood and Say Cheese and Die sagas, but they do not feature established characters from previous entries.
