Going Bumps In The Night: R.L. Stine Reveals Which 'Goosebumps' Story Was Too Scary For Kids
The immortal words, "Beware, you're in for a scare," will forever be etched onto the minds of Goosebumps fans everywhere. The brainchild of author R.L. Stine, Goosebumps was basically The Twilight Zone for kids.

Monster or Misconstrued Mate
In Milhauser’s criticism of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, he provides evidence of the literary description of the noble savage. Milhauser believed that a reader's first thoughts about the book would be that it was a supernatural horror story, filled with Shelley’s “macabre and pseudo-scientific sensationalism.” Once the audience took more time to consider the actions and plotlines, they would see how deep each character really is and what he or she represents.

I'm Sick of Zombies
Okay, so the title is a little misleading. It's not that I hate zombies, per se. If there's a movie about zombies I'll probably watch it, and have a really great time. I've probably played more video games and read more books about zombies than anything else.
