Stay Out of the Basement by R.L. Stine

4.0

i laughed more than i got creeped out this was so fun. if my dad had told me to stay out of the basement when i was a kid i’m damn sure going to disobey my unhealthy amount of curiosity and stay out of the basement. especially if he’s a mad scientist.

best spoilery but non-spoilery lines without context:

“i’m trying to build a plant that’s part animal” is where i’d have gotten off the crazy train

“give me the axe!!”

“margaret, im your father”

“EAT IT!!”

my two favorite parts of this were where their dad tried to feed them some gross green stuff for lunch in the most insistent, evil, and maniacal way ever. id have thrown that shit in his face and ran the hell out of that house
