This was the first Goosebumps I'd read since childhood, and I have to admit that I'm disappointed. I'll probably write up a full review of the series when I find the first book somewhere at the bottom of the box, but now for this one. We have two friends who love to scare the neighbors, and think

they're so cool when they decide to go up a level and haunt "Hill House" a haunted house attraction in their town. When they go off on their own away from the tour, things turn pretty scary, but it isn't until they agree to meet a boy after hours that things really get frightening. He tells them he's the headless ghost and he's after their heads, but when they take off running, everyone is surprised- by the actual headless ghost. They find his head and he takes off with it.

#37 "Major headache!"
Dwayne and Stephanie love the creepy tourist attraction called Hill House. It's dark and spooky and supposedly haunted by a thirteen-year-old boy with no head. One night Stephanie and Duane decide to go looking for the boy's severed head and things end up getting a little too

Not gonna lie, this book was WAY better than I expected! For being #37 in the series, you'd think that R.L. Stine would be running out of ideas but NOPE! This book had an amazing twist ending (that I did see coming) but I still enjoyed it none the less. The surprise and suspense in this book was
Dwayne and Stephanie live in a city where there's a Haunted House on display all year round. There's ghost stories and crazy theories about the place, which is perfect for them since they love scaring everyone in the neighbourhood. In said Hill House (honestly wondered if The Haunting of Hill House had any relation to this book but it's probably just a ghostly coincidence), there is a mystery about the boy who lost his head. Our dynamic duo get themselves into some massive trouble and must find said head to try to free themselves. Along the way, there's ghosts, dumb adults (a staple in the Goosebumps universe) and spooky stories!
I seriously love the ghost stories and goofy pranks riddled throughout this book. As an adult, I don't find myself scared as much with these books but I was excited in anticipation for the ending. I have to say this is one of the better Goosebumps books and I'd definitely recommend it! It's a fun and wild ride!
Four out of five stars! This creepy book was a real treat!

Nostalgia read. I was obsessed with Goosebumps as a kid.
Reading these as an adult you notice how predictable they can be but the stories perfectly capture the Halloween feeling.
