- MONSTER JOB APPLICATION AND FRIGHT RESTRICTIONS
Synopsis
The set up of this book is very different from others in the book series. Instead of being split into three parts, there were just chapters/sections, like an actual guide to a park. Each section described a different thing of the park, like restaurants, rides, or hotels. In each section, there are advertisements and information about things in the park.
Most of the locations, people, Horrors, and attractions named in this book are examples of puns or word-play. (For example; Howard U. Likeapunchindanose)
The last few pages of this book contain bonus material and several interviews with characters from the Goosebumps series and Goosebumps HorrorLand. It also foreshadows the second arc of the series with an article about Jonathan Chiller.
Plot
There is no consistent plot in this book. It is just a humorous book that describes the creatures and attractions of HorrorLand.
International releases
Trivia
- This book makes no mention of R.L. Stine on the cover or copyright page, meaning that he likely didn't write any of it. The only author credited on the copyright page is Matthew D. Payne, who is credited as the writer of the "Behind the Screams" section of the book.
