''Goosebumps'' (video game series)

Goosebumps video games are a series of action-adventure games based on Goosebumps book series.

Escape from HorrorLand (1996)

Escape from HorrorLand was released in 1996 on the PC.[1] The game acts as a sequel to the Goosebumps book, One Day at Horrorland. This game features well known actors including Adam Wylie, Eric Lloyd, Isabella Rossellini and Jeff Goldblum. It was directed by Lawrence Guterman, who went on to direct Cats & Dogs (2001) and Son of the Mask (2005).

Attack of the Mutant (1997)

Attack of the Mutant is a children's PC game based on the Goosebumps book Attack of the Mutant by R.L.Stine. It was developed and produced by DreamWorks Interactive and was released on September 25, 1997. It was one of the first games to use cel-shaded animation.[2][3]

The hero gets off a bus at the wrong stop, and finds himself at the headquarters of the Masked Mutant. Within, he must work with comic book superheroes the League of Good Guys to prevent the Masked Mutant and his evil henchmen from transforming the world into a giant comic book.

The cast of characters included all of the comic book superheroes and super villains featured in the original book – the Galloping Gazelle, the Masked Mutant and the Magnificent Molecule Man – but also added many original characters, such as the mobster villain Pinky Flamingo. The hero, a non-gender specific (though in-game art suggests a male) child, is a classic video game silent protagonist. The Galloping Gazelle was voiced by Adam West (who played the same role in the TV episode of Attack of the Mutant) while the Masked Mutant was voiced by James Belushi.

Goosebumps HorrorLand (2008)

Scholastic Book Company released a Goosebumps HorrorLand video game on October 28, 2008 in North America, and October 16, 2009 in Europe,[4][5][6] to tie into the series, on the Nintendo DS,[7] Wii,[8] and PlayStation 2[9] platforms. Developed by Gusto Games in Derby, the plot follows a young child and his/her friends trapped in HorrorLand, where they must make their way through challenging levels to escape the evil theme park. Reports indicate the game is similar to the original Goosebumps HorrorLand game Goosebumps Escape From HorrorLand, in which you had to beat the minigames of various levels to reveal who was behind events in the park and get back home. The official website reveals that HorrorLand in the game will have five main areas: Vampire Village (which serves as a hub connecting all the others), Mad Labs, Terror Tombs (an Egyptian-themed area), Fever Swamp, and the Carnival of Screams.[10] Several of these areas are references to classic Goosebumps books or previous depictions of HorrorLand.

The game starts off with a Horror leaving a ticket on the player's doorstep. The player tears it up but the ticket mysteriously gets put back together. Afterwards, Nate comes by and both Nate and the player set out to HorrorLand. At the beginning the player gets into the Carnival of Screams. A Horror gives the player 20 tokens for rides to start off. The player must reach the fright level to get into Vampire Village, one of the five attractions of HorrorLand. The player must get a high enough fright level to get on the Roller Ghoster and save a young girl named Gigi, who is trapped on it. After the player saves her, she joins the player to get the ticket pieces back and leave HorrorLand. Later, when the player gets to Fever Swamp, the player discovers that a show with the Great Gargantua is closed due to the monster escaping. When getting to Mad Labs, the player must collect 100 tokens to get a mask (a reference to The Haunted Mask) and once completed it turns the player into a Horror. This allows them to go into the Horrors Only lounge to get a piece of the ticket. While in the lounge the player gets caught by Horrifico, the king of HorrorLand. While in Mad Labs, the sound of a woman saying "If you see a girl in a blue dress holding a monster doll, do not attempt to approach her. She is extremely dangerous." will play. This is a description of Gigi. The secret of HorrorLand is finally being revealed and the player must get 50 points for the fright restriction in order to get into Terror Tombs. Getting gold on the Pharaoh's Fairway will earn the last piece of the ticket. At the end of the game the Horrors grab the player. the player gets put on the final ride called Certain Death where the player must battle through to rescue Gigi and escape. Upon exiting, the player discovers that Gigi is the Great Gargantua, as she turns into the creature, and announces her plan to turn the entire world into her own HorrorLand. As she flies away, the screen fades out to "The End".

Goosebumps: Attack of the Mutant is the second CD-ROM game based on the best-selling series of books by children's author RL Stine. The object here is to save the world from the evil Masked Mutant and his henchmen. Players are transported to the Mutant's headquarters where they will uncover a plot to turn the world into a comic book (more cynical minds might say they're too late). Using a combination of skill, strategy and problem solving, players must navigate through the Mutant's domain, systematically defeating each foe. There's no point in trying to reason with them, fighting or running are your best choices. To help new players, there's a League of Good Guys with helpful advice. On each floor of the Masked Mutant's headquarters, the objects you collect will serve you well as you visit other locations.

Stine's hugely popular " Goosebumps " Scholastic Inc. books and TV show who'll enjoy jumping into this well-made, color-ful 3-D action adventure. Players join forces with the "League of Good Guys" to stop the Masked Mutant from destroying the world as we know it: The purple villain wants to turn it into a comic book. As the countdown to destruction continues, you'll explore the bad guy's multilevel headquarters, navigating through corridors filled with elevators, doors and secret passageways that lead to nifty rooms and mazes. Sound effects and spooky music are nicely done, and the perils aren't overly intense; parents don't have to worry that kids will be exposed to blood-and-guts hyper-violence.
