Dr. Horror's House of Video was the sixth story that appears in the book, More Tales to Give You Goosebumps.

Plot

Ben Adams is a huge horror fan! So much that he's spent his summer vacation indoors watching scary movies. As the story opens, he's watching a movie about a plant. Eventually his mom boots Ben out of the house, so he decides to run to the video store to see what he might find inside. He comes to the video store named "Dr. Horror's House of Video".

Soon he learns that Dr. Horror is an amateur low budget horror filmmaker. Dr. Horror shows him a scene from his latest opus, Lizardman, but Ben gets dragged off before he can finish watching. The following day, Ben races back to finish watching the film. The store is closed but Ben goes in anyways. He finishes watching the film but now finds the front door is locked!

Luckily there's a back door... leading right to Dr. Horror's makeshift garage studio. Rather than being upset that Ben's broke in, he instead decides he'll have Ben star in his latest film, a sequal to Lizardman. Though he first calls his parents.
