Screams in the Night was a short book given to viewers of the stage show Goosebumps Live on Stage. It was published in 1998.

The cover art features a mutant cobra slithering before a bookshelf.

Blurb

Slappy appeared on the balcony of the fun house-right under the huge picture of his face "Welcome, kids, to Slappy's Fun House - where any chance you'll wake from this nightmare is a dream!"

Slappy's face was frozen in a wooden evil grin. But his child-sized body moved like a real person!

"Can you help us get out?" Jessie demanded.

"Get out?" Slappy shrieked. "Get out? I'm the reason you're locked in! You're here to amuse me... to grow more scared and thirsty each day. You'll be like mice in a maze - and I'm the cat!"

"That doesn't sound good," Skate whispered.

Jessie's heart raced with fear as she realized: Slappy's going to kill us!

Plot

The book follows four children, Jessie, Josh, Jamie, and Skate. After enjoying a game of basketball, the quartet head home. They are near the Doomsday Bookshop, figuring that they could use a phone inside. As they walk in they see an animatronic gorilla transform into an old-man named Mr. Gander.
