Goosebumps #7 – “Night of the Living Dummy”

You know, I expected this one to be really creepy for me since I’ve always had this odd fear of living dolls and the like. I attribute it to that horror movie craze in the late eighties with all those

Sweet Valley Twins #32 – “Jessica On Stage”

Sweet Valley Twins #31 – “Jessica’s Bad Idea”
