Billy has just been sent off to Camp Nightmoon by his mom and dad. While on the bus to camp, Billy encounters many characters, such as Mike, the fat kid who's scared of everything; Colin, who wears sunglasses and a red bandana around his long brown hair; Jay, the jockish kid with wild curly red hair and Dawn and Dori, two girls from the Girl Camp faction of Camp Nightmoon. The busdriver stops the vehicle in the middle of a desert on the way to the camp and orders eve...more

The last time I read any of these books I was actually of target age to read them. So yeah, it's been a while. And while I couldn't get totally engrossed in it like I used to, it still kicked major ass. I really don't think RL Stine can do much by the way of wrong.
The writing is very simple and I think reflects the era of middle grade it was written in. If you compare it against MG of today, I don't even think it'd really qualify for that shelf space (although it still does). But even apart from...more

R.L. Stine used his imagination very well in this book. He lead the children to believe that aweful things were happening at a camp and that none of the people in charge cared. Stine puts lots of different emotions into the book as well, there were funny parts, scary parts as well as sad parts. The book was spaced well, the chapters were not very long and as a chapter would end it would give a good stopping point for the reader to stop and when they came back to the book be able t...more

I thought that Welcome to Camp Nightmare was a good book. At the beginning it wasn't really scary but as I got into the book and got the "hang of it" it started to be really scary.
This book was basically about a camp called "Camp Nightmoon". First Mike, one of Billy's friend got bitten by a snake and there was no nurse to cure his injury. Then, Billy's friend, Jake and Roger went to the "Forbidden Bunk" and Roger was killed by a scary creature. After that, Billy and his friends found out that th...more

Now I know where Ashton Kutcher got it from! This book was very interesting. I've been camping many times, with a group and as a counsler, so I can relate to the story of weird sounds or no sounds at all and people disappearing. (yes they did return)
I hated the ending. I guess being a "children's book" they had to end it on a PG note, but my goodness it was such a good book could have been much better towards the end.

Have to admit, at first I didn't quite understand where this story was going, but then I started getting an idea. I was wrong because there were two twists at the end that I never saw coming...and one of 'em I don't even KNOW where it came from, but it pretty much told me that the entire story didn't even take place where I thought it did.

d this one a lot. The story is spooky, and has interesting twist and turns. You really get into Billy’s shoes and understand his mindset. There are also some funny parts, and larry is amazing, and Uncle Al is a great “villain’. Oh, and did I mention THAT BILLY IS AWESOME?!
He actually stands up to his problems, and does what he needs to do. He’s simply a rare Goosebumps character that acts like a human being. This book is creepy, interesting, and funny. It has everything a goosebumps book needs....more

ISBN 0590466194 - All the horror stories of camp are real, from the food to the counselors. Even the ones that are never real, like disappearing campers, come true in Welcome to Camp Nightmare.
Billy is 12 and going to his first sleepaway camp at Camp Nightmoon. Even before they reach the camp, things take a bad turn as the campers are attacked by wolf-like creatures. Things get worse. Campers do disappear - and Uncle Al and the counselors don't care! Even Billy's parents can't be counted on. The...more

From the moment Billy steps off the bus things are odd. Not only does the bus driver literally leave all the campers stranded they are also surrounded by weird wolf-looking creatures before their Camp Director, Uncle Al, saves them - Uncle Al is also anything but normal. Billy can't help but know something is different, if not wrong, with Camp Nightmoon. At first Billy brushes off small incidences that seem odd to him, but as fellow campers and friends start to disappear and strange noises come...more
In, "Goosebumps Welcome to Camp Nightmare" by R.L. Stine a boy named Billy went to summer camp. The purpose was to have fun but it ended up being a diaster. Billy was enjoying it initially, however after people started disapearing he began to get worried. Nobody had any clue of what happened to them. At first he wrote letters to his parents but did not get a response and thought nothing of it. When Billy's friend Mike, disappeared with another boy noone knew where they went. He wanted to go home...more
Ahhh, the Goosebump days. I would borrow so many of these from the library they seriously considered extending my limit of books checked out at one time. R.L. Stine you were a reprieve from a harsh and dreary childhood in which my mind wandered far away from the troubles of the day. I stole books into my bed and read far into the night by the faintest of lights. I might have better eyesight were it not for you; however, I regret not one page or line.

Again with the whole fear of being eaten live. Billy and the others are surrounded by a pack of wild magic wolves. They were left behind by a slightly mad bus driver. Someone or something has got to save them. There's no way their fate is sealed just yet. Billy seems a little bashful, but I can deal with that. Maybe he'll come out of his shell once the story gets going. Gain that confidence, and kick some monster-ass.

I thought that it started out great, in the middle it kind of dragged on. It was sort of boring at first, but it gets you hooked quick. It involves creatures and aliens. The end surprised me, all of the endings of goosebumps are crazy. It was kind of scary in the middle to the end, kids disappear, and counselors are ignoring it. When I got done reading the end, the book was just not scary at all to me anymore.
I know that it is ridiculous that I just read a goosebumps book as an adult but I had a hankering for some of that old cheesyness. This was one of my favorite ones. Nothing like realizing that you are the aliens (humans) at the end of the book. I didn't remember how choppy and all to the point the books were, but I guess that is the only way to keep a child's attention at that age. Still loved it!
This was the first Goosebumps book I ever read, so it has a special place in my heart. I was only six years old when I first read it and I thought it was the most awesome thing ever. The creepy mysterious atmosphere of the camp is perfect. The plot is really engaging and never boring and it has possibly my favorite double-twist ending for any Goosebumps book (that I can recall). It's just so ridiculous, I love it.
De los que he leído de la serie es el que menos me ha atrapado. La acción que tiene es muy poco creíble y no tiene muchas ideas de terror o suspenso como otros de la misma serie. Lo iba a calificar con 2 estrellas pero me gustó el ligero cambio que dio al final. Normalmente estos libros están llenos de cosas fantásticas y creativas, desde mi punto de vista, en este libro faltó ese toque especial que tiene la serie.
I was hooked on these series as a kid. I remember when this first book came out and all the hype surrounding it, and quickly joined in on scarfing these things down. They were fun at the time, although even in grade school they had me rolling my eyes at some of the goofiness (and the cliffhanger chapter endings! Every chapter, without fail!).
Theres'a boy and he got his own little crew and together they like to solve all kinds of mysterys'.One example is that when ever they solve a crime they always work as a team.they never get seperated they always want to sove the crime together.You can find this book in in the
mystery bin,and can also find it Ms'lasys' library.

I learned that some kids go to a camping trip and leave their parents for three days and when a boy gets on the bus he starts to cry because he doesnt want to leave his parents for three days to a camping trip.I like this book because i like horror books that are very intresting like this book that i read over the summer.
The only reason I didn't give this book a one star rating was because the ending did explain everything and it was a neat twist. I still only gave it two stars, though, because I just can't forget the frustration I felt when reading through it, even though everything was explained at the end.
Es uno de los libros de la serie "Pesadillas" que más me han gustado, porque se juega mucho con el miedo a lo desconocido a lo largo de todo el libro, en lugar de tener un objetivo concreto. No hay monstruos, ni fantasmas, ni historias de esas... Sólo un grupo de niños que tratan de enfrentarse - lejos del apoyo de sus padres - a una situación totalmente nueva para ellos... Y extraña y terrorífica como pocas.

This book is amazing to me because it has mystery, horrer, and action at the same time. If you saw all Goosebumps movies I guess you should get the book because this is about when going to camp during the summer is a horriable nightmare to every camper.
the ending of the book was like wow, didnt see that coming... this is one of those books that ur like. oh this is going to happen and u have the whole ending figured out. then its takes a turne in a different direction.
Nostalgic.
While at Camp Nightmoon, it's not long till Billy notices strange things happening.
This is one of the Goosebumps books and episode from the show, I remember the most, especially the ending.

Some have called Stine Stephen King for kids. The difference is, all of Stine's are taken from classical horror/spooky tales, etc. whereas King creates his own scenarios (for the most part)
This book is about this camp that is crazy. The camp's name is Camp Nightmare, all the adults are acting weird and other kids are disappearing from the camp. Billy the protagonist of the book, is feeling scared the letters he's writing to his family aren't being sent to them.

These books are good. Odd and creepy enough for children who are into that kind of thing but not enough to give anyone nightmares. Great reading material also, a quick read.
The ending was great I never would have expected that. Honestly I thought from all the vanishings I was going to hate the book but the ending was happyish so I am content.
