Creepy Creatures

Goosebumps Graphix #1

by Scott Morse (Adapter), R.L. Stine, Sheila Keenan (Editor)

Creepy creatures are howling, growling, and on the prowl in this cool new Graphix anthology adapted and illustrated by three acclaimed comic artists.


With his shadowy illustrations, Gabriel Hernandez creates the perfect atmosphere in The Werewolf of Fever Swamp, a spooky story about a boy and his dog who go sniffing around in a lonely swamp...and wish they hadn't!


Greg Ruth's beautiful but eerie drawings in The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight turn a girl's visit to her grandparents' farm into one scary and dangerous summer vacation.


Scott Morse brings his quirky sense of humor and madcap illustrations to The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena, where a curious brother and sister unwittingly unleash a fierce - and frosty - monster in sunny California.


Three of Goosebumps creepiest creature books ever come to life in this ghoulish collection of spine-tingling Graphix fun!

Genres: Graphic Novels, Horror, Comics, Fantasy, Fiction, Graphic Novels Comics, Childrens

[destiny ♡ howling libraries · Rating 2 out of 5]

This collection started off strong with Gabriel Hernandez's great illustrations for The Werewolf of Fever Swamp, but unfortunately, the second and third stories weren't nearly as enjoyable. The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight was one of my favorite Goosebumps books as a kid, but the art in this story, while eerie and cool in its Scary Stories-esque style, was hard to follow because the characters looked so much alike. Then, Scott Morse's art style in The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena struck me as something you'd expect to see in the Sunday newspaper comics and I didn't like it at all. 😬 Then again, Pasadena was always one of my least favorite Goosebumps titles, so maybe I was biased against that adaptation to begin with!

i liked all three but my favorite one was the werewolf of fever swamp

The graphic novel format is well suited to Goosebumps, and these are pretty good adaptions of the books. Each story is done by a different illustrator, so you are treated to different styles, from very cartoony Abominable Snowman of Pasadena to the more realistic and eerie Scarecrow Walks at Midnight. Though you might prefer one style to another, the art is well done in each case. The stories all stick close to the original script. If your kid is a fan of Goosebumps, or if you want to introduce them to the series, this is not a bad way to go.

This was a pretty fun time. I liked the art style except for the last story. I don’t think it matched the vibes. The scarecrow one was my favorite story and art style(it was actually kind of creepy).

[Nicole · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a fun, entertaining read. I absolutely LOVED and am obsessed with the artwork from The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight. That easily pushed it up to be my favorite in the collection. The Werewolf of Fever Swamp was good too. My least favorite was The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena and it's mostly just because the art style was not my favorite. The story was still solid and fun though. I love these collections that are in just black and white...there's something just really cool about that style of artwork with these stories.

Starting my Spooky Reading a little late with nothing better than GOOSEBUMPS ❤️‍🔥 These so tired being illustrated gives another great touch to Stine’s great work and even better, 3 different illustrations. Gotta keep reading this series of graphic novels. A really fun reading for Halloween 👻

I really like these Goosebumps graphic novels - 3 stories in one! The scarecrow one was suitably scary (maybe a bit scary for me, ha). A wolf, a scarecrow and the abominable snowman. 3 spooky stories and 3 incredible design styles - my kids are gonna love this!

[Alexa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a fun adaptation of the novels. I loved the art style and I felt that each story hit all the important parts very well. It was a quick, visual way to read the stories and I enjoyed that.

I think the book "The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight" is good because a girl named Judi is kind of crazy because she thinks that Sticks, her dad is a scarecrow.And you might be wondering why?But this might blow your precious mind.Because supposedly she thinks that in her dream her dad is a creepy scarecrow.And she also thinks that the horrible dream is for real. And Judi's friend named Stanley keeps on scareing Judie.And how he scares Judi is by moveing every scarecrow and trying to make them walk.and Stanley alawys gets her.But this time Judi is going to scare Stanley.But Judi is guna try to make a scarecrow to life.By geting a costume exactly likea scarecrow. And when she got the coustume all the scarecrows came to life.And the scarecrows think that Judi is ther leader.And they copy everthing she does.And when she took off her scarecrowhead and the scarecrows took off there's.they didn't die.But until the sun came the scarecrows bruned to flames. Another book that I read in "CREEPY CREATURES".Is "THE WEREWOLF OF FEVER SWAMP".It's about this family who moved to Flordia and they have trouble.Because a boy was a wolf and that wolf is evel...

1)I chose to read this book because I love horror books.
2)This book fits on the fiction square on the bingo board.
3)I found the werewolf the most interesting character in the book because it had the most biggest role in the book and it was also because I love myths.
4)My favorite quote is "Never be scared in what you don't believe" because it tells us to have faith in your self in an indirect way.
5)Something new I learned from this book is that to never be scared of ghosts and spirits.

Pretty good but the last story the names are messed up

[Alejandro Joseph · Rating 4 out of 5]

The first ever Goosebumps comic adaptation—if you exclude the FBX magazines, which I don’t count as whole books or stories. This was a really solid read for the most part, and I dug the selection of stories. The first two stories had great art styles, both of them being very detailed and semi realistic, the scarecrow going for a hyper realistic feel. Each story was a very accurate adaptation of its book counterpart, which is commendable, and I enjoyed each of them story wise to an extent *coughs* abominable snowman ending *wheezes*. Not a lot to be said for positives, they’re just generally solid adaptations of decent stories and of the two have a great art style. But each story has its flaws. Story One, some of the character were ugly at times. Just flat out ugly. But that’s not the worst thing in this comic collection. Story Two, the characters are hideous at times, like borderline looks-like-a-pile-of-shit. And there’s some really awkward shots in it where the angle is too close to the face, or an expression doesn’t look well, or it’s hard to tell what’s going on like the horse scene and nightmare sequence. And generally, whilst it’s really cool to look at in some frames, the art style can get… iffy. And the third story—FUCK ME SIDEWAYS. Wayyyyyy too cartoony, and I don’t care what folks say, it’s just really kiddish and dork-diary ahh shit, as I call it. Also, the worst of the three is the longest story, and just so happens to have the worst art style and still one of the worst endings to a Goosebumps story, but that issue will be mostly ignored (we’re going off adapting and art style as well as if the story of good or not, which is mostly is). I loved the first two even with their flaws but the art style in the third was just stupid and let alone the story was a drag to get through. Here’s my ratings for each and overall:

The Werewolf of Fever Swamp - 9/10
The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight - 8.5/10
The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena - 5/10
(^ worst than the original book lol)

I’m gonna be generous and give it an 8/10, I like it a bit more than the first one since the art styles are overall better.

Creepy Creatures (2006)
Writer – R.L. Stine, Scott Morse
Artist – Gabriel Hernandez, Greg Ruth, Scott Morse
Series - Goosebumps Graphix #1

Synopsis: Three creepy creatures’ cross paths with kids with thrilling consequences.

Goosebumps Graphix is the graphic novel adaptation of three classic tales from the Goosebumps series. Each are illustrated by a different artist and the story is adapted from the main material sticking mostly to the original with very minimal changes.
The Werewolf of Fever Swamp: A family moves into a house near a swamp where a wolf howls every full night. The story is good and has some small twists. It is an easy read with good artwork and a decent thrill. (3/5)
The Scarecrow Walks At Midnight: Two siblings visiting their grandparents farm, notice a weird atmosphere with the scarecrows put up in the field. The potential for a more in-depth story is there, but its on cruise control with the plot of the original book. The artwork for this one was my favourite of the three. (3.25/5)
The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena: A photographer takes his two kids to Alaska, looking for evidence of a huge monster. The weakest link amongst the three, I was also put off by the artwork. The story is pretty weak and some antics just doesn’t work out. The end had potential for some more story, but its quickly wrapped up. (2/5)
Overall, this is a good start for fans of Goosebumps. It is meant for teens and kids, but older audience would get a nostalgic feel returning to some of these tales.

RJG Rating – 3/5
Goodreads – 3.90/5

I really didn't love the art styles, which sucked, but I did like that there was a different illustrator for each story. I honestly wasn't expecting much from this because Goosebumps is for kids and all that, but that Scarecrow story was genuinely creepy af.

✨ 205/100 read for 100 Graphics in a Year Reading Challenge ✨ + also read for the graphicsathon round 16!

Three creepy stories: The werewolf of Fever Swamp, The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight and The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena.
In the Werewolf of Fever Swamp Grady, who has just moved to Florida, finds a stray dog. When strange howling occurs in the night and animals are found dead Grady's parents believe it is the stray who is doing it. Some people believe it's a werewolf. Who's right?
In The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight, the handyman on Jodie and Stanley's grandparents farm reads a book on superstition something strange happens to the scarecrows....or is it the handyman's son Sticks playing jokes?
In the Abominable Snowman of Pasadena Luis and Ana go with their father to find evidence of the abominable snowman in Alaska. The frozen tundra the kids crave turns out to be dangerous and scary.

[Kathryn Grace Loves Horror · Rating 3 out of 5]

I would have loved these as a kid. As an adult they're still fun, and I got the super nostalgic feels about reading the original series when I was a kid. My one complaint is that I didn't love the art choices here, but I didn't dislike it enough to quit reading. I'd also forgotten how useless and unhelpful adults tend to be in Goosebumps books, but that's not really a complaint, just an observation.

My favorite of these was "The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight." It had the most realistic art of the three, and I love a good creepy scarecrow story. But all three were entertaining. Like the books it's based on, this would be a great introduction to horror for a child who doesn't want anything too scary.

Warning for dog death in the abominable snowman story.

This collection holds 3 artistic renditions of three classic R.L. Stine books: The Werewolf of Fever Swamp, The Scarecrow Walks At Midnight, and The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena. Each story is illustrated by different artists, which allows each comic to truly stand out on its own.
I think that graphic novels are an easy gateway for young readers transitioning from picture books to strictly word books, this one especially. It's also a good book for those who've read Stine's work before. I grew up reading these books, and it was really cool to be able to enjoy some of the classics through a different medium of literature.

[Dana Decker · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am a sucker for anything Goosebumps. This is the first graphic novel Goosebumps I've ever read and I enjoyed it alot. We have 3 stories inside.
1.The Werewolf of fever swamp
2.The Scarecrow walks at midnight
3.The abominable snowman on Pasadena
All 3 story's are short and cut down versions of those titles in original Goosebumps form. Great for slow readers or kids that don't have the attention span to read a chapter book.
Also there are 3 distinctly different art styles. Every story has it's own font and art style. The first 2 are very detailed and were my personal favorites. The 3rd story is more of a cute cartoon style art.
Great for any Goosebumps fan new or old.

[Ollie Ander · Rating 2 out of 5]

So I skipped the first story because it was repurposed and I had already read it in another Goosebumps graphics collection.

The second story was good. The style was soft and very traditional looking. Unfortunately I found myself confused several times by action panels. The expression/action shown really didn't translate well, what was actually going on.

Lastly, I skim/skipped the last story. The style is really iconic and well developed but doesn't suit a comic panel page. The hard thick black and white cartoons were hard to distinguish from one another in such a cluttered space. This is no fault of the artist necessarily, the style is just too busy for non-linear format.

[Flora · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was actually quite a good graphic novel adaptation of three different Goosebumps stories, drawn by three different artists. The art is tastefully drawn and evokes the perfect atmosphere for each story, and the stories capture the main gist of the original books while adding the artist's own touch. I personally enjoyed Goosebumps a lot as a child, and I think these adaptations did a great job of capturing the same sense of intrigue, horror, and humor as the original series.

[Christina Collins · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great gift my son got me since he knows I'm a huge fan of R.L. Stine besides Stephen King. The drawn art was amazing. The art I liked the most are the stories of The Werewolf of Fever Swamp and The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight. The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena didn't like how cartoonish it was. The stories were fun and wonderful as usual. I do enjoy a fun story from Mr. Stine. I'm happy to own my first comic from Goosebumps! :)

[Emily Rundle · Rating 4 out of 5]

It was fun to revisit these stories from my childhood in comic book form! Like any 90's/00's child I was a huge goosebumps fan as a kid and I loved The Werewolf of Fever Swamp in both the book and television form, so reading it in a graphic novel was a fun blast to the past. The adaptations are well done, the illustrations are beautiful and easy to follow and do a great job conveying the plot visually. I wish some of the plot points weren't so condensed, but otherwise I have no complaints! 

[RandomReader · Rating 3 out of 5]

Just out of nostalgia, I decided to read this graphic stories adapted from Goosebumps. The book contains 3 stories, which I don't recall reading any of them in theoriginalseries, but they are so R. L. Stine!

The stories are okay, the first story "The Werewolf Of Fever Swamp" is the best one in my opinion, while the art of the second one "The Scarecrow Walks At Midnight" was the better art, but generally the art was so amateur.

[Rob · Rating 4 out of 5]

Three stories in Graphic Novel Format: First story done well with a great ending, I don't want to spoil any of the stories, The Second story, The art was amazing, and the story was appropriately creepy. The Third story was a bit less in the art side but the story was ok. al in all this was a Good Read.

[Thea · Rating 5 out of 5]

I have not read the actual books that this comic series is based on ( I have read a lot of Goosebumps books- just not these ones). I will say these stories have gotten me interested in reading the actual books that they're based off. The differing art-styles made each story unique and a world onto themselves.

[✨Luz Ariadna✨ · Rating 3 out of 5]

La novela está dividida en 3 historias, un hombre lobo, un espantapájaros y el hombre de las nieves. Cada una de las historias tiene un ilustrador y un estilo de dibujo distinto.
Yo leí esta novela en inglés, aprovechando que siempre es más fácil leer novelas gráficas mientras de paso práctico el idioma 🤭
El inglés de esta novela es básico más allá de algunas palabras así que si quieren empezar a leer en inglés es una buena opción 🙌🏼

👉🏼Hablando de las historias en sí, están bien construidas y los dibujos son súper hermosos en los 3 casos. Mi preferida sin dudas fue la segunda, la del espantapájaros, creo que de las 3 es la que más disfrute e incluso me dió un poquito de miedo llegando más al final 😅
La última historia me aburrió y casi que no lo termino pero al final decidí hacerlo y no estuvo tan mal, me gustó la vuelta de tuerca que le dieron 🙌🏼
