Goosebumps HorrorLand is a Goosebumps video game released in 2008 for the Wii, Nintendo DS, and PlayStation 2. This game is a tie-in to the Goosebumps HorrorLand book series, which released six months prior.

Plot[]

The Player receives a ticket to HorrorLand after a stranger knocks on their door and quickly leaves. Though initially tearing the ticket up, the pieces of the ticket repair themselves in front of the Player. Their friend, Nate, then appears and states that he too received a ticket. With each character excited about the theme park, the protagonist asks their mother if they could drive them to HorrorLand.

Upon arrival, Nate and the Player find an admissions operator waiting for them in the Front Entrance. Nate asks if the worker is "some kind of swamp monster" due to his appearance, however, the worker explains to Nate that "I'm a Horror, as in HorrorLand." The Player tells the worker he has a great costume, to which the Horror thanks him and remarks "You too." The Horror then tears the ticket into several pieces before letting Nate and the Player into the park.

After playing games and achieving the appropriate number of Frights in the Carnival of Screams, the Player and Nate are allowed entrance into Vampire Village. The Ticket Handler makes the remark that the Player and Nate are done with the "kiddie rides", then opens the gate.

The Player feels nervous, however, and suggests returning to Calamity Canyon in the Carnival of Screams. Nate brushes off this request and dashes into Vampire Village. Clearly ecstatic, Nate laughs and remarks that all of the decorations are fake and "made of plastic". He then opens a coffin and begins acting like a vampire, teasing the Player. However, when Nate steps into the coffin, the lid slams shut and the entire thing begins to shake. The Player struggles to open the coffin, calling out for Nate. But when the lids finally opens, Nate is nowhere to be found.

Making their way to the Roller Ghoster, the Player sees a girl on the track, screaming for help. The Player charges to the Horror collecting tickets for the ride and tells them they need to stop the ride, but the Horror won't abide their request. The Horror remarks that everything is fine and if the Player wants on, they need to acquire the necessary number of Frights.

After the protagonist goes on the Roller Ghoster to save a girl named Gigi, they tell her what is going on with HorrorLand. When a police Horror tells him to hand over the girl, they both run until the Horror trips over. The protagonist and Gigi hide near the Roller Ghoster, fooling the Horror. Gigi tells the protagonist of a hiding place in Vampire Village where they can find her.

At Mad Labs, the protagonist gets a Horror mask from a mask shop. Coincidentally, the mask was the shop owner's last one. As they put the mask, the protagonist says it feels like skin. When it gets stuck on their head, they start to feel funny until they transform into a Horror.

In the Secret Tunnels, the protagonist gets caught by the lead Horror Horrifico, know sees the Horror as an impostor. Using his magic, he changes them back into their human form. The protagonist says that they are getting out of HorrorLand, revealing that they have all the pieces of the ticket, because the park is "nuts" and "evil." Horrifico is busy mocking the protagonist until they blind him with Evil Dust and runs off.

After riding Certain Death in Terror Tombs, the protagonist, Nate, and Gigi crash and fall off their cart. Nate says that HorrorLand might not be a real amusement park. The protagonist looks at Gigi, who starts to sound different. Suddenly, she transforms into the Great Gargantua, who thanks the protagonist for setting her free. After revealing her plans to make the whole world her own "HorrorLand", she escapes.
