Continuing the summer camp theme with #StorytimeWithSteve, this week we're reading "It Happened at Camp Pine Tree" - a #ChooseYourOwnNightmare, the 'scary' 18-book #CYOA spinoff from 1995-7 designed to compete with the more popular 42-book #GiveYourselfGoosebumps series (1995-2000).
Fav camp counselor goes missing. Murdered by ghost, eaten by snakes, disintegrated by toxic waste? Only 6 endings - great setting, poor #gamebook.
"But I don't want to use the outhouse!"🚽

The #ChooseYourOwnNightmare series was #ChooseYourOwnAdventure’s response to #RLStine’s return to #gamebooks with his #GiveYourselfGoosebumps series - providing a niche for “scary #CYOA.”
Stine’s series ran 42 books from 1995-2000, while Nightmare only saw 18 books from 1995-1997.
This week I read 1996’s “Something’s in the Woods” for #StorytimeWithSteve. Lots of narrative, but only 10 endings - and I’m not sure what the plot was supposed to be other than “bad stuff happens when camping.”
Yeah, I totally trust that this guy has my well-being in mind. 🦷
