10 Goosebumps Books That Will Still Scare You As An Adult
8. The Ghost Next Door
Why It Scared You As A Kid: Hannah's new neighbour Danny seems kind of weird- he claims to go to her school despite the fact that she's never seen him before and he also, you know...vanishes a lot. Literally. She figures he's probably a ghost (not that uncommon round her parts) but eventually it's revealed that she is the ghost and, hey, wait a minute, this came out before The Sixth Sense. Explain yourself, Shyamalan. Readers got the double-whammy of regular ghost-fear and existential "AM I EVEN ALIVE?" fear. Why It'll Scare You Now: Ew, who makes friends with their neighbours? They might start "just dropping by" *shivers*.
Brydie is an Australian writer and performer living in London and she complains exactly the same amount about the weather as every other Australian living in London. Yes, that is her natural lip colour, no, she will not be taking any further questions at this time.
