A Shocker on Shock Street adapted and illustrated by Jamie Tolagson

Erin Wright and her best friend, Marty, love horror movies. Especially Shocker on Shock Street movies. All kinds of scary creatures live on Shock Street. The Toadinator. Ape Face. The Mad Mangler. But when Erin and Marty visit the new Shocker Studio Theme Park, they get the scare of their lives.

The Werewolf of Fever Swamp adapted and illustrated by Gabriel Hernandez

There is something weird happening in Fever Swamp. It started with the strange howling at night. Then there was the rabbit, torn to shreds. Everyone thinks Grady's new dog is responsible. After all, he looks just like a wolf. But Grady knows his dog is just a regular old dog. And most dogs don't howl at the moon. Or disappear at midnight. Or change into terrifying creatures when the moon is full. Or do they?

Ghost Beach adapted and illustrated by Ted Naifeh

Jerry can't wait to explore the dark, spooky old cave he found down by the beach. Then the other kids tell him a story. A story about a ghost who is three hundred years old. A ghost who comes out when the moon is full. A ghost . . . who lives deep inside the cave! Jerry knows it's just another silly made-up ghost story . . . isn't it?!

Night of the Living Dummy by Dave Roman

Lindy names the ventriloquist's dummy she finds Slappy. Lindy's having a great time learning to make Slappy move and talk. But her sister Kris is jealous of all the attention Lindy is getting. Why does Lindy always have all the luck? Kris decides to get a dummy of her own. She'll show Kris. Then weird things begin to happen. Evil things. No way a dummy can be causing all the trouble. Or is there?
