Welcome to Dead House is a pretty good family horror edition of Goose Bumps with some genuine, but not too intense scares for young one. A family of four moves into an old house in a town called Dark Falls. The name Dark Falls is appropriate as it always seems to be dark in the town. Even when the sun is out, the large, overgrown trees seem to always block it out. Josh and Amanda are the two kids that immediately have bad feelings about the town. They meet up with some other kids in town who act very strange and are very pale.

Of course the parents are typical, unbelieving parents who dismiss the kid's as just having bad dreams or the like. But the whole family will soon learn the tragic secret of Dead falls and of the hazardous chemical accident that forever changed the town years before. The film moves pretty well and provides a true sense of creepiness about the town and the new house the family is in. It's one you can watch with the whole family.

Okay the story itself *RULES* and has INCREDIBLE potential. But the actors and actresses ruin it fully. The father's acting is especially horrible. The story is a little slow in execution - it takes the girl about five minutes to walk up the stairs and into the room! In fact, the whole first twenty-five minutes of the film are uneventful slum.

This has quickly become a family classic in our house, Particularly around Halloween. My 4 1/2, 8 1/2 and 10 years old girls love this one!

The story stems around a shady real estate salesman(aren't they all) whom offers a can't refuse deal to a unsuspecting family from 'out of town'. Unknown to the family, Dark Falls was the victim of some type of hazardous chemical spill a while back, causing the existing residents to become 'living dead'. Unfortunately for these 'living dead' corpses, they are dependent on 'the living' for nourishment.

Thus, they use this one piece of real estate property - AKA Dead House - as 'bait' to unsuspecting family's in order to feed. Without disclosing the whole storyline, I must say the thing with the dog at the end adds a nice touch. Well worth $10. I've spent twice that continually renting it at the video store!

I watched this movie at a good friend's home with her two children - both mother and daughter shrieked and hid under the blanket at a few 'Gotcha!' scenes - I died laughing at both of them! (You scardy-cats may have to clean up puddles on the sofa) The film is well acted and well photographed - don't adjust your TV, it's not broken! It's a good choice for any Saturday night at home with the kids.

As always R.L. Stine comes up with a brilliant story.This movie puts you on the edge of your seat, then again I've never seen a movie from R.L. Stine that I didn't like or wouldn't allow my children to watch. His books are great too, we just prefer scary movies in the dark. Perfect for family movie nights.

I've always loved the Goosebump movies, They're not so gory or bloody like the slasher movies. I like to have the grandkids over during the Halloween season and watch a goosebump episode. "Welcome to Dead House" is probably my favorite along with the "Haunted Mask". R.L. Stine does a very good job in his writings in that I'm interested in his movies from the time it starts and all the way to the end.

The Welcome to Dead House video from the Goosebumps series is the spookiest one of the series Ive seen and therefore adore! I recommend anyone to buy this and be amazed!

This is probably my all time favorite episodes of goosebumps. This episodes is about a family who moves into a new house in a town called dark falls. Once they stay in there house Amanda the sister, notices weird and scary things happening. This episode is also probably one of the scarier episodes in the goosebumps series. You have to watch this episode it was great

This is probably one of the best goosebumps I've ever seen. This episode is about a family of 4 who moves to the town of Dark Falls where they have a new house. The characters in this episode are Amanda, Josh, there dog petey, and then there mom and their dad. Amanda then starts seeing weird and scary things that start happening in their new house, but of course her parents don't believe it. I won't give away anything else, but you have to see this one. It is great!!!!!!

The movie was good.It had a good plot line.Although it was a little predictable and wasn't the same as the book, it was still good.
