Wordy Words on WordsRL Stine just can’t resist the final sting.
This is a bananas book about a family that basically gets tricked into going to a horror theme park (when their car fucking EXPLODES). The rides are basically death traps and it turns out that the gates have been locked with only them and the staff inside.
The family freaks out and it’s revealed that the monster staff are real monsters and the family is on a reality show.
They are further tricked into thinking they can leave, except they’re really led to more monsters that are going to eat them all on TV.
The family escapes the eating monsters, space the staff monsters, escape the park, pile into the new car that appeared out of NOWHERE, and-
Wait, can we talk about the car? They parked in the parking lot and the car blew up. The staff member at the ticket counter told them not to worry and that… I guess the park would take care of it?
But if they were just going to murder the family, why replace the car at all?
This stuff makes my head hurt.
Anyway, they escape and drive home. All’s well that ends well.
EXCEPT a staff member clung to the back of the car and gave them free passes back to the park.
The park they almost died at. The one that shoots snuff films for reality TV.
*sigh*
I genuinely think that this is probably in the top 5 scariest entries in this series for kids but this joke ending takes all of the air out of it and makes the whole thing feel… well, like a joke.
It was pretty good right up until the end if you could turn your brain off for the duration because the decisions made in this are pretty dumb.
Ah, but it’s a Goosebumps book. Characters are going to be dumb.
