the "creep" factor
Lindsey B:
I had to resurrect this thread just to say that my 5th grade teacher showed us "Watcher in the Woods". I loved it. And I am always surprised when people my age have never seen it!
olmue:
Oh, yes! Both of those were the ultimate creep factor movies for me when I was in 6th grade. I don't know how well they age--I haven't watched them in years. Methinks a movie night is in order...
amberturner:
The new CHRONICLES OF HARRIS BURDICK has a lot of creepiness from a lot of authors.

--- End quote ---
I LOVED Goosebumps books as a kid (everyone in my class collected them and swapped them). I don't remember them as genuinely frightening, though -- they were more like fun adventure stories with "horror" thrown in for good measure.
One thing I do remember is that they often had a huge twist at the end. I think most of their atmosphere/ tension comes from waiting for that inevitable moment of "Got you!" when everything is turned upon its head.
