Attack of the Jack-O'-Lanterns by R.L. Stine
3.0
Goosebumps that takes place on Halloween is always the best! I really have a soft spot for this book because it always creeped me out! Even revisiting it as an adult gives me the shivers. Drew, Walker, Shane, and Shana are trying to get revenge for a mean prank Tabby and Lee pulled on them, but it seems like everything goes wrong! Shane and Shana are no shows, and then creepy Jack-o-lantern people start forcing them to Trick-or-Treat forever!
The scenes with the jack-o-lanterns are so creepy, especially when they force the kids to eat their candy until they get sick, and then make them keep trick-or-treating! But the ending?? Yikes, it was not great, which is why its only 3 stars. Definitely a disappointing Stephen King-esque ending.
