Editorial Reviews

From AudioFile

Audio drama is the ideal medium for spooky fun. "Lights Out," "Suspense," "The Whistler," "Inner Sanctum"--these were among the most popular dramatic programs on '40's radio. The mental exercise that audio gives to the imagination has more positive effects on kids than the mind-numbing boob tube. Perhaps that's why, when Disney rereleased some of its postwar kids albums on cassette a few years ago, they were sold out within weeks of hitting the shelves. In this instance, even merely serviceable performance does wonders for Stine's hack writing. Disney has pumped more energy than creativity into the slickly produced title. It's amiable, briskly paced and safe. Neither parents nor their offspring will find any unpleasant shocks here. When you give it to your kids, tell 'em to shut their eyes and give their minds a listen. Y.R. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine --This text refers to the Audio Cassette edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Shocker On Shock Street, May 21, 2003

This review is from: A Shocker on Shock Street (Goosebumps) (Paperback)

A Shocker on Shock Street is full of suspense and sends chills down your back.It's characters are two kids who love scary movies. The cool thing is that it's setting is at Shocker Studio Theme Park. All the scary things turn real which is neat to me. They think it's fake until they bump into living, scary creatures. The book is vivid on it's words. This book makes think your watching the terror unfold right before your very own eyes. You will find the end kind of funny because you find out the two main characters are robots. They were just apart of the theme park. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes scary tales. Both adult and child.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: A Shocker on Shock Street (Goosebumps #35) (Paperback)

I think R.L. Stine did a great job on this book.Its about these two kids,Erin Wright and Marty.They LOVE horror movies. They really like Shocker on shock street movies.So they are thrilled when Erin's dad tells them they will test out the new Shocker on shock street studio tour.But when they go on the tour,things start getting really weird.They're attacked by werewolves,dead people in a graveyard, skeletons, and giant praying mantasis,and much, much more!Plus, it has a great suprise ending.You never would have expected it.I think you really should read this book,you won't be dissapointed.

2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Good Book, But Terrible Ending, September 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Shocker on Shock Street (Goosebumps) (Paperback)

It was a pretty good story about two freind(Marty and Erin)that loved horror movies and went to a horror theme park. The firsthalf of the book was good, but..... The ending was very dissapointing. It ruined the whole book. I am a big fan of R.L. Stine and this book was one of his worst, Had to be the worst ending to a book ever.
