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 an...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 eve...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 ...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 tha...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.

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 want...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.

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!
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.
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.
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.
I kind of enjoyed this book, it always kept me wanting me to read more and kept me interested in it for the entire time The first 30 pages was slow because that was when i was getting introduced to the characters...more

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.

WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! THAT WAS THE BEST GOOSEBUMPS BOOK EVER!! THE ENDING REALLY MAKES YOU THINK ABOUT THE STORY, ALL THE COLORS AND ANIMALS!!!
Amazing book but in the end it scared me because it was an astonishing as well as creepy thing it was really close to making me paranoid.
Goosebumps was so popular when I was a kid, we would get in fights in the library over who got to check the new one out next. No joke.
it was a good book and I recomend that if you are a camper and you like scary stories you would like welcome to camp nightmare
This book I have to admit was hard to get into in the beginning but definitely changed a few chapters into the book! So many events crawling in so fast, I loved it! This has got to be one of my favorites by R.L. Stine! And you wouldn't believe what happened in the end...
This was a good book because its about a boy who gos to a sumercamp but strange things start to happen
Cinco estrellas por hacerme imaginar algo y al final resultar muy diferente de lo que pensé. El libro gano.
A fun little book with a few cool twists here and there and a hilarious one-two punch of an ending.
AS OTHER BOOKS I HAVE READ IT HAS A WAY OF MAKING YOU BILEVE THE ENDING IS SCARE BUT IS NOT
To me it was exciting and crazy at the same time. And, I agree, it was a nightmare.
I read this thing over and over!! I remember buying it at Pages for All Ages :)
