Introduction

Here are the stories that inspired the TV show . . .

 

You know the time of day when the light grows dim, and shadows creep silently along the floor, and a whisper on the air brings a tingle to the back of your neck.

That’s the haunting hour.

That is the time when the scariest stories are told. And here they are—my scariest stories ever. You’ve seen many of them come to life on my TV series, R.L. Stine’s THE HAUNTING HOUR.

Now you can read the stories that inspired the show—and see all the horrors and frights in your own mind.

In “The Halloween Dance,” two boys are dying to have the scariest Halloween ever—and they get their wish! In “The Mummy’s Dream,” a boy comes too close to an ancient mummy—close enough to trade places. And . . . just how bad is “The Bad Baby-Sitter”?

Enjoy all the scares on the TV series. Then live the stories again in this book.

See you at THE HAUNTING HOUR, everyone!
