Goosebumps: Pick your favorite horror novel

For me, it's 'Monster Blood'. The ooey - gooey monster blood that has a life of its own and causes chaos is really cool in a horror - filled way. The main character's struggle with this strange substance that keeps growing and causing trouble is quite engaging. It's one of those novels that you can't stop reading once you start.

I really love 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker. The classic vampire story is just so captivating and creepy.

I have to go with 'Dracula'. The vampire theme, the mystery, and the sense of danger throughout the story always keep me on the edge of my seat.

My least favorite horror story is 'The Ring'. The idea of a cursed videotape that kills you after you watch it is just too creepy for me. The constant feeling of being watched by the girl from the tape, Sadako, is really unnerving.

You can start by looking at places you know well. Your hometown, for instance. It has its own unique charm, local customs, and architecture that can add authenticity to your story. Another option is to pick a place that has always fascinated you, like an exotic island or a historical city in another country. When picking a setting, also take into account the time period. Is it modern - day? Then you can include current technology and social issues. If it's historical, research the era thoroughly to make the setting believable.

You could start by thinking about your interests and experiences. Maybe a memorable event or a passion of yours can inspire a unique story idea.

Yes, Goosebumps is a series of novels written by R.L. Stine.

My favorite character is Jessica Lange's character in 'Asylum'. She played Sister Jude so well, with so many layers to her character. At first, she seemed strict but as the story unfolded, we saw her own demons and her struggle with her past and the present situation in the asylum.

One of my favorite horror stories is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's about a narrator who is haunted by an old man's vulture - like eye. He becomes so obsessed that he murders the old man and hides his body under the floorboards. But then he starts to hear the old man's heart still beating, which drives him to insanity. It's a classic that plays on the themes of guilt and paranoia.

It has to be 'It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents—except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness.' from 'A Christmas Carol' which has a bit of a horror undertone. The vivid description of the night sets a spooky mood right from the start.
