At first, Claire laughs at Jake's talk of ghosts and curses. He's been too busy crushing on her best friend, Delia, or making out with that slut, Annalee, to notice that she's practically been throwing herself at him. What does he know anyway? This is her big chance to be a star!
But then, Claire runs into a creepy little man named Benny Puckerman, and gets her hands on a real love potion! Unfortunately, the course of true love never did run smooth...

Claires father is a movie producer. He has finally agreed to allow Claire and her friend Delia to be in one of his movies. The movie is really a fresh start on a horror movie that was never finished in the 1960s. The reasonthree of the actors were murdered while filming the movie. To make things interesting Claires love interest, Jake will also be at the movie studio. Too bad he has eyes for Delia, who in turn has eyes for Jakes friend, Shawn. I can remember reading R.L. Stine books. I guess youTypically when I read a book that is awful in every way, I'm not inclined to read another book by that author. But in this case, I immediately want to read a slew of older R.L. Stine books, simply so that I can possibly begin to comprehend how a beloved author of my preteen years managed to plunge so hard and violently from his nostalgic pedastal of my youth to the disastrous depths clumsily explored in this waste of ink and pages. I ADORED the Fear Street series back then, and would look
I wanted some audio fluff and LOVED Fear Street growing up, but this was not good and lacked the charm I remember of my favorite childhood author. Also the characters were despicable. One example? (I'm paraphrasing) the main character criticizes her Cheesecake Factory waitress by telling the reader she's ugly and "thick around the middle". "Guess someone's trying too many cheesecakes!"Ohhh I get it. Because she's fat! Good one.
I bought this book because I love horror. I didn't read that this book was about and I didn't look at any reviews. That was a mistake. From page one this book just hits you right in the face with how bad it is. At first, it was kind of funny how stupid everything was and then by page 15 the funny had worn away and I was left with mild rage and desperate sadness because I spent money on a book that was so horrible. The characters are morons and the plot is like the worst horror movie from the
This was such a creepy, cool modern spin on the original classic. Not the best writing ever and kinda on the short side, but overall a decent read.
Shallow characters I wanna push down the stairs (almost all of them), not-really-scary scenes and WTF moments are in this book. I'm not going to waste much time telling you not to read this book. Just look at the ratings. They speak the truth.
This book was maaaaaybe a 1.5. I don't typically read the horror genre, but I don't think R.L. Stine is a master of the horror genre. Maybe for elementary readers, but definitely not grownups. The plot was a little cliche and the characters were shallow. I didn't care about any of them, and so when they inevitably died, I just sort of rolled my eyes. It referenced the play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," and that made me wonder if I could have gotten a bit more out of it if I knew more about that
