That certainly was a gripping read, but it wasn't a masterpiece. I loved the idea of it when the book began. The atmosphere was tense and slightly humorous, but then shit started to hit the fan and death was everywhere. Basically in this book three actors die unintentionally whilst filming a horror movie. Then, sixty years later, the so-called cursed manor in which those actors died... Well, the film has been made into a remake and it's hiring actors to do the job. But then more mysterious happenings occur and that's where R. L. Stone cares the crap out of us. 
 I have to say, it was fun. It was a fun and addicting read that I was hooked on from the beginning. I read it in 4 hours and had a bunch of fun reading it and exploring the characters and deaths and plot that the author has created. The deaths and gory scenes were written gruesomely and, being the horror book fanboy that I am, I LOVED THOSE SCENES. They were awesome and I loved seeing the reactions of the characters. Although not very realistic, I was just laughing to myself hysterically. 
 Yeah, I basically did guess the whole plot but it was fun. The "great unveiling of why the bad guy does what he does" was explained over half a page, however. I mean. Rlly, bich? The book was too short for me to understand the full explanation of the book, to understand why the author gave this role to the bad guy's character. It was not expressed well, and honestly - minus a few gory scenes - it could have been a middle grade book. 
 The writing was lacking in the originality department. I was looking for some thrill or grand entrance to Stine's writing but I could find close to nada apart from some metaphors that was pretty interesting. The plot, like I said before, was really predictable. But you know what? I had fun. 
 I will give Goosebumps a go. And most likely Fear Street.
