Escape from Horror House was the thirty-seventh book in the Give Yourself Goosebumps gamebook series. It was preceded by Ship of Ghouls and followed by Into the Twister of Terror.

The cover had an image of a run-down house. The house had twisted and warped into features that seemed to form a monstrous face. This tagline said "Home is where the horror is!".

It was released in July 1999 and was 137 pages long.

Plot

Despite the title, this book focuses on you getting rid of a ghost that has haunted a house, not trying to get out of a haunted house.  In most of the endings, you are killed by the ghost.

Bad Endings

  • You return home and find out that your family (except you) has been turned into hideous monsters. The poltergeist possessed them all while you were away.
  • Your face melts off.
  • Your head explodes.
  • The poltergeists take over the ants in your ant farm and one of them is hungry, so it decides to eat you up.
  • You feed the poltergeists enough fear to give them enough power to kill you, Bobby and Lisa.
  • The poltergeist drains the life force out of you.
  • Marvin and Matilda fail to defend you from a three-headed orange monster that gulps you.
  • Dolls that were possessed by the poltergeists kill you when you crash your lawn mower into a tree.
  • A poltergeist tricks you into smashing Matilda's necklace, which contains trapped poltergeists. On smashing the necklace, they are all released and kill you instantly.
  • Poltergeists lock you in Jen's toy box with Marvin where you are transported to the poltergeists' world. There they eat you and Marvin.
  • You, Bobby and Lisa are turned into ghosts by the poltergeists.
  • The poltergeists literally tickle you to death.
  • Your mother feeds the poltergeists with enough anger to take over your body. You become just as evil and mean as they are.
  • The poltergeists take over the whole town.
  • The poltergeist tricks you into scaring Matilda away, after which it kills you.
  • The poltergeists turn the ground into soft mud and waves from a nearby lake drown you, Bobby and Lisa.
  • The possessed dolls tear you into pieces.
  • The poltergeist and Zak combine together to bring you down.


Good Endings

  • The poltergeist's mother takes it away from the human world.
  • Your sister Jen has control over the poltergeists. The bad thing is that you should never fight with her unless the poltergeists wake again.
  • The poltergeists decide to stay in the dump and leave you alone forever.
  • You, Bobby and Lisa neutralize the poltergeist with magnets. You are helped by your teacher, Ms. Peters.
  • You find out that you are telekinetic and you are the reason weird things happen. There isn't really any poltergeist and you're happy that your levitating abilities will make things much easier...
  • You find that your sister Jen was the reason weird things happen because she is telekinetic. There isn't a poltergeist. But you should just keep being nice to her.
  • The poltergeists were joking. They don't mean to take over you. You, Bobby and Lisa play with them and then they go away to find another house.
  • You don't let the poltergeists feed on anything that makes them strong. They evaporate and are gone forever.

Trivia

  • The book employed little of the type of humor characteristic of the series.
  • There are 18 bad endings and 8 good endings.
  • Despite the cover, the reader's house doesn't actually twist and warp to form the monstrous face that the front cover has.
  • The title doesn't actually focus on you escaping your house, since that will be too easy to do( just unlock the door and get out ). Instead, it is all about you attempting to get rid of the poltergeist taking over your house and managing your fear.
