Fun to Rediscover these Story from Childhood
It was fun to rehear these stories and share them with my daughter, but they weren’t as great as I remember. Many of the stories have a similar format. For example, in “The Guests” a couple spend a night at a house with elderly hosts. They leave money for the hosts in the morning and head out early. They hear that the house burned down years ago. They return to the house, but it’s a burnt-out shell, but the money they left that morning is there! In another story, “The Wreck” two teens meet at a dance. The boy puts tinsel in the girl’s hair. But turns out she died before the dance and when they find her body there is tinsel in her hair. The stories that follow this format pile up faster than bodies in a slasher film.
Of course, there are memorable stories that I could easily recall from my childhood that made the listen more enjoyable. Unfortunately, these gems are too few. Furthermore, I missed the creepy artwork by Stephen Gammell in the original books. What bothered me the most was the stories that ended in instructions for how to scare your friends while reading the story to them, “Now jump at your closest friends and scream, ‘I’ve got you!’”
I was surprised that I thoroughly enjoyed the sections on the source material for each book. They provide fun insight into some of the stories.
The narrators were alright. As a fan of The Walking Dead, I expected more from Melissa McBride, sadly not even she wowed me. She had more emotional range than a Walker, but nothing like what I’m used to seeing from her on screen.
I’d say this a decent purchase to share stories from your youth with your kids, but it wasn’t as exciting as I hoped it would be.
