5. The Werewolf Of Fever Swamp

Why It Scared You As A Kid: Another tale of a dangerous science experiment (starting to think R.L. Stine had beef with his biology teacher) and unexpectedly hairy things (ditto his barber). The kids in this book's dad has moved the family to Florida to study "swamp deer" from South America. However, they end up pursued by monsters of the canine-variety. Classic werewolf horror ensues. Why It Scares You As An Adult: This scientist is being paid to move deer from South America to Florida and just...watch them in his backyard? It's not exactly atom-splitting, is it? Tried curing cancer, buddy? The future is doomed.
