Crawl under the doona and turn off all the lights; we’re going through every single book in RL Stine’s preteen-horror series.

Join me as I explore the good (‘Night of the Living Dummy II’), the bad (‘Beware the Snowman’) and the downright baffling (I’m still unsure what exactly was going on in ‘Legend of the Lost Legend’) in the most iconic name in nostalgic spookiness.
