ntharpta1's review against another edition
2.0
2.5. The characters seemed flatter and the plot more rushed than the goosebumps novels. Can't tell if it was geared toward a younger audience or not. The magic eye was so very 90s.

Fear Street # 59
Wes Parker is the most relatable character in all of the Fear Street canon for me so far. The poor guy can't see 3-D images, which are all the rage since his irritating neighbors the Phillips twins bought a poster from Sal's Five and Ten and showed it off at school. Wes has tried all the tricks, but feels left out. I feel for him, because I was in the same boat. Life got better for me, but I don't know if it happens for Wes. When he buys a poster for himself Sal, the owner, gives him weird vibes. He does end up seeing something in the poster, but the praying mantis is popping out of the poster in ways he didn't bargain for.
Gloria Hatrick incorporates some lore into this book, but it looks like no one else is getting on board with the town-wide supernatural conspiracy proposed in 'Hide and Shriek'. 'Nightmare in 3-D' takes a relevant '90s fad and puts a spooky twist on it. Subtract a few references to Fear Street and this could just as easily have been a Goosebumps title, but that's OK.
