The first half of the movie was sort of boring. I've never actually really felt the need to watch it. Whenever I want to watch Goosebumps on video, this would be the last one I would watch. But, overall, it's an okay movie, worth renting (If you can find it in stores).

Even though I'm a teenager now, I remember watching this video in my sixth grade guidence counseling class at school. It was pretty good, at least that's what I thought. And I was right - I still think "The Werewolf of Fever Swamp" is a good video. To make the summary of the video short and sweet, it's about this kid named Grady who lived with his family up in Burlington, Vermont but then they had to move down to the Florida Swamps because his parents (who were scientists) were studying these deer that were from another country and wanted to see if they could survive in America. Grady finds this dog (that looks like a wolf) and gets to keep it. When he meets another kid named Will Blake, Will tells him all about the werewolf and why they call the swamps, Fever Swamp. Soon, bad things start happening to Grady and his family and everybody blames Grady's dog for it. But then Grady discovers the truth about who's the real werewolf.

If you liked "The Werewolf of Fever Swamp" the video, then you'll love the book. It's almost exactly the same as the video. Which is actually a good thing because I don't like it when movies or TV shows change the books that they are based on around a little too much. Then you have a hard time figuring out which is the right version of the story.

If you like a movie that is scary and suspenseful then you have found the right movie. I like The part when Grady's sister and mom go in the barn, and the werewolf tries to get in.

A good movie. Better acting than the norm for Goosebumps and the plotline is a bit thicker than usual. Although the actors continue to be scared of the tiniest things - as in, exaggeration - it's good creepy fun. Decent SFX for this type of movie. The Wolf-in-the-house-chase with Emily is terribly executed, effects wise. Otherwise good work.

I thought this was scary.I screamed loud! My mom was wonding why?
Then she walk up the stairs and yelled!I almost craped my pants!
LOL :)

First off, there could be alot more dvd's to chose from! The DVD quality is choppy, and not as good as the VHs quality. There is no menu, Special features, surround sound, it needs a re-release already! All there is, is the movie! I found it in the wal-mart 5.50 bin, and I know why it's in there! I am a Goosebumps freak,(Be glad i'm not bragging that i'm the biggest fan) so I had to collect these!

This video tape i saw at school. In Ms.Ahern's room. It was creepy. There was this family,and this boy named Grady and this girl named Emily. They were afraid of their new town,or bored.
Then,Grady meets Will,and Will tells him legends of the werewolves. And,about the town. Grady gets murdered by a werewolf,and he finds out that Will is a werewolf.
He gets a fever,then he's a werewolf,too. This video was all right. I could live with it.

I use this video every Oct. in my middle school special education class to teach students to make predictions which is an important part of reading. They love the movie and it enjoy guessing the identity of the werewolf.

This movie is one of the better goosebumps films I've seen. I like all of the goosebumps movies, but the acting and direction of this one was especially good.

The Werewolf of Fever Swamp DVD arrived quickly and has been watched over and over, along with the other Goosebumps movies that we have been collecting. Great family fun!
