I loved R.L. Stine's books as a kid and even as an adult I've reread some of the Goosebumps, so I was excited to get this as an ARC. This comic only disappoints in that it left off on a "To Be Continued". I'm ready to read the rest!

This was ok. Kind of boring but if you’re a fan of classic horror movies it might be less boring to you.

Graphic novels usually are not my thing, but I like to step out of my comfort zone occasionally. Plus, I really enjoy R.L Stine. He is a nostalgic author for me as I used to read his books (and watch the shows) as a kid. This was a quick, fun read. In many ways, it reminded me of an episode of Scooby Doo (my favorite cartoon of all time). The graphics were well done. The plot was suitably spooky. I can see this being a hit with the middle grade graphic novel loving crowd.

3.5 rounded up to 4 stars. I received this ARC from NetGalley.
Fun graphic novel read. There were a few little moments that were very typical RL Stine and elicited a laugh from me. Such as a battery going dead. I appreciated the art. Especially the pages with panels in the same color scheme to fit the mood. It’s a little bit campy of a story but that’s exactly what I expected and wanted from this author.

Two brothers purchase an old horror film house. One of the brother's children are excited for the new adventure. Ezra a horror movie fanatic and his sister Ruthie explore the different sets with Poe.
Everything seems fine till they resume acting scenes and Ruthie is injured along with the director.
The brothers are suspicious, Ezra and Ruthie are spooked by the scary things happening in the film house.
This comic book is short and exciting. I really love the art and graphic style used by the illustrator. The dialogue boxes are clear and the words are easy to read
Middle graders will definitely enjoy this thriller comic. While trying to uncover the truth about the accidents and awakening of the monsters. They'll find themselves enjoying the young Characters, Ezra and Ruthie because they'll find they share the same curiosity.
Thank you for this advanced reader's copy.

I have been reading R.L. Stine since I was a little kid and I'm still reading his stories. He certainly does not disappoint in this middle-grade graphic novel. The illustrations in this book are wonderful and Stine does a fabulous job at combining elements of horror and mystery.
I want to thank NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

R.L. Stine brings the creepy with this story about two kids whose father and uncle buy a movie studio that cranked out horror B-movies in the past. Suspicious accidents and a mysterious amulet found under the floorboards of a studio office lead the kids into investigating what's going on, leading to some red herrings, dangerous hi-jinks, and a Scooby Doo-style reveal at the end. Fans of Stine's Goosebumps series should enjoy this, it was fun!
