What is the Goosebumps HorrorLand series about?

Part of the Goosebumps franchise, Goosebumps HorrorLand is a series of children’s horror fiction novels by American author R. L. Stine. The series differentiates itself by telling a serialized story, or should I say two, as it contains two storylines.

Each book is part of the same plot, with characters, villains, and locations from distinct Goosebumps continuities interacting.

Before exploring HorrorLand, you can read a few books from the original series that are referenced in the series. It is optional.

1. One Day at HorrorLand – Sixteenth book in the original series. Goosebumps HorrorLand is loosely based on this story.
2. Return to HorrorLand – Thirteenth in the Goosebumps 2000 series and sequel to One Day at HorrorLand.
3. Deep Trouble – First book in the Deep Trouble Saga, followed by Deep Trouble II but also Creep from the Deep from Goosebumps HorrorLand.
4. Monster Blood – A Monster Blood appears in Monster Blood for Breakfast!, though not the same as the one in the Monster Blood Saga.
5. The Haunted Mask – The Haunted Mask is an “antagonist” who made here his first appearance in the Goosebump universe. He is also present in The Scream of the Haunted Mask, and Goosebumps Wanted: The Haunted Mask (from HorrorLand)
6. Say Cheese and Die! – The first in the Say Cheese and Die! Saga, with an evil camera. You’ll find an evil camera in Goosebumps Horrorland too, but not the same place and character.
7. Night of the Living Dummy – Goosebumps HorrorLand would be incomplete without Slappy, which made his debut in this Goosebumps book, the first in the Living Dummy Saga.

Goosebumps Reading Order First Arc: Enter HorrorLand

The first arc of Goosebumps HorrorLand contains twelve books, each split into three sections. The first one (around 100 pages) is like a classic Goosebumps story.

Can YOU?
