See, I told you! Mom tries to protest for a minute, but fucking Luke just keeps pushing the situation. He leaned forward and grabbed the back of Dad’s seat with both hands. “Can we go there?” Luke demanded eagerly. There was a dark red arrow in the upper left-hand corner, with the words: ONE MILE. In huge red letters it said: WELCOME TO HORRORLAND WHERE NIGHTMARES COME TO LIFE! I rolled down the window and stuck my head out to read the billboard in front of the mechanical monster. Somehow, despite the fact that they’ve all been desperately searching for billboards/directions/other people they all only just notice this massive billboard with the giant mechanical monster next to it. Speaking of which, the chapter ends with Lizzie seeing a large monster looming overhead… Chapter 2: None of us have a good feeling about this, but of course they’ll be so desperate that when they see HorrorLand, they’re like, “We’ll take it! We just can’t be together as a family in this godforsaken car for a minute longer.” This is already one of the most convincing friendships we’ve read about here.Įveryone is clearly getting really stressed out, and they repeatedly emphasize that they’re in the middle of nowhere and there is nothing but desert around. I think that’s why Luke likes Clay so much.
He laughs at all of my brother’s stupid jokes and stunts. He thinks everything Luke does is a riot. Mom and dad have a typical fight about who was supposed to pack the map (maps! Ha!), and we get to know Lizzy’s brother Luke and his friend Clay a bit more. This day and age, it would have to be some sort of malicious, haunted GPS that lead the family to this terrifying destination. They were trying to go to a Zoo, but dad left the map at home! Man, you just can’t write these kinds of gripping stories anymore thanks to smart phones. The Morris family never planned to go to HorrorLand, if you can believe it. That quote was all the evidence I needed of Lizzy’s calm nature. Everyone says, “Lizzy, you’re the calm one.” And I’m trying to tell this story calmly. I bet these people will be alive but in coffins for some spooky reason or other and need to escape. I have been around the block with you a few times, and ‘lying in our coffins’ doesn’t necessarily mean dead. The books begins on an incredibly bleak note, even by Goosebumps standards:Īs we entered the gates to HorrorLand, we had no idea that, in less than an hour, we would all be lying in our coffins. Also YAY it’s Goosebumps time!! One Day at HorrorLand Chapter 1: This has been a difficult book to discuss as it consistently sounds like I’m reading a book called One Day at WhoreLand, which is a much less child friendly book. When I say ‘horror’ it often sounds like I’m saying ‘whore’.
