Revision as of 21:26, 25 August 2008

Goosebumps HorrorLand is a horror novella series by R.L. Stine, a spin-off of his popular Goosebumps books.

Overview

R.L. Stine is writing a twelve-book series titled Goosebumps HorrorLand. The series, based loosely on One Day at HorrorLand (sixteenth in the original series) and Return to HorrorLand (thirteenth in the Goosebumps 2000 series), is the first Goosebumps series where each book is part of the same plot:

The new series will be an immersive storytelling experience welcoming fans to HorrorLand, a vast theme park which R.L. Stine describes as "the scariest place on Earth." In a Goosebumps first, the new series will be a serialized adventure, and the story won't end on the final page of book #1. Instead, the spine-tingling and funny bone-tickling adventures will continue on the Internet and in books #2-12, each of which can also stand alone. The first nine HorrorLand books all will feature a combination of frightful new faces as well as the vilest villains from the original Goosebumps series. Ordinary kids are being summoned to HorrorLand-but why? Readers are in for the ride of their lives as the cast of characters trapped in the theme park grows larger with each book, and their situations become more and more perilous.

Books #10-12 will take place entirely in HorrorLand. Who-or what-is behind the evil plot to assemble these kids? The answer will be revealed in the final book. Soon after the debut of books #1 and #2 in February 2008, Scholastic will begin to reissue original Goosebumps books-ten bestselling titles that tie in with each new story as it unfolds in HorrorLand.

Scholastic will launch HorrorLand with a dedicated website that, with the publication of each book, will further the narrative and provide corresponding clues to help readers unlock the secrets to HorrorLand. In addition, the web site will offer readers original HorrorLand material not available in the books-including ten free internet-only related stories, bonus downloads, interactive games, and more.[1]

R.L. Stine has stated that each book will "have two stories."[2]. The purpose of the first story is to introduce the villain and protagonists; the second story shows what happens to the protagonists when they get to HorrorLand, and are united with the other characters. The books also include a case file and an invitaton to HorrorLand. The final three books in the series will serve to wrap up the 'HorrorLand' plot in a single climactic storyline.

Scholastic's reprints of classic Goosebumps titles to accompany the series have all-new covers[3] and bonus material[4].


Format

Each book is split into three sections.

Section 1: The Story

This is the main section of the book, lasting approximately 90-95 pages. Since it reads identically to a classic Goosebumps book, readers will be most familiar with this section.

Section 2: Enter HorrorLand

Technically a continuation of the first section (as well as a continuation of the previous books' "Enter HorrorLand" segments), this 30-40-page mini-story finds the book's characters at HorrorLand, meeting up with other books' protagonists and villains. Each HorrorLand segment ends with a "cliffhanger" ending, to be continued in the next book's HorrorLand segment, and likely to be concluded in the ninth book (after which the series is set entirely in HorrorLand).

Section 3: Fear File

Only a few pages long, each book's Fear File contains fictional maps, brochures, menus, etc. pertaining to the section of the theme park featured in that book, along with a hand-drawn map of the area. Each book also includes a fictional advertisement to its featured park area on the front page of each book. Most of the advertisements feature web addresses for either EnterHorrorLand.com or EscapeHorrorLand.com.

Other Features

Some books feature single-chapter previews of the books on which they were based. For example, Creep from the Deep features a single-chapter preview of the original Deep Trouble. In addition, the back of each book shows half of a HorrorLand map token on either edge of the book. When two books (such as #1 and #2) are placed next to each other, the two halves match up and show a complete token; in this case, it features Slappy the Dummy. Following this pattern, the second book shows half of a coin that will only be complete when placed next to the third book, and so on. Each token has a unique message, written in mirror writing, around the edge.

Companion websites

The series is complemented by companion websites.

Enter HorrorLand

The website EnterHorrorLand.com is a "gameplay experience which immerses fans in HorrorLand itself"[20]. It is based around twelve map sections corresponding to each HorrorLand book, each of which includes numerous mini-games. The premise of each map section is that the antagonist of the corresponding book is trying to take over that area of HorrorLand; the minigames tell the story of each antagonist's defeat by the player. The player is frequently represented by Mr. Wood, the main antagonist from Night of the Living Dummy. Guidance and help is provided by an automated fortune teller named Madame Doom. The site opened on February 20, 2008[21].

Escape HorrorLand

The website EscapeHorrorLand.com and is a "serialized, story-driven, fact-finding experience" hosted by the protagonists of One Day at HorrorLand.[22] It is ostensibly a blog that seeks out and post evidence and information about the HorrorLand theme park[23], written by Luke Morris of One Day at HorrorLand[24]. His sister Lizzie also contributes to the site, largely in the form of extracts from a "Welcome to HorrorLand" guidebook[25]. Luke's friend Clay is also mentioned.[26] Since the story began, Luke and Lizzie have received HorrorLand correspondence from Madame Doom[27], the mysterious "MONSTER-X"[28] (who may be Byron from the series proper), who tells them that HorrorLand has changed,[29] and Slappy the Dummy[30][31]. Several of the correspondence props appear within the HorrorLand books themselves. The site opened on February 14, 2008.

Others

Scholastic also opened a page previewing the titles in the series; it displays the covers of the first four Goosebumps HorrorLand books and the first two Classic Goosebumps books, and posted daily updates in late October of installments of the first chapter of Revenge of the Living Dummy.[32]

Video Game

Scholastic Book Company is releasing a new Goosebumps video game on October 28, 2008 [33][34][35] to tie into the series, entitled Goosebumps HorrorLand[36], and to be released on the Nintendo DS[37], Wii[38], and PlayStation 2[39] platforms. The plot follows a young boy and his friends trapped in HorrorLand, where they must make their way through challenging levels to escape the evil theme park. Reports indicate the game is similar to the original Goosebumps Horrorland game Goosebumps Escape From Horrorland, in which you had to beat the minigames of various levels to reveal who was behind it all and get back home.
