R.L Stine’s massive book series focused on children’s horror, leaving shivers in the spines of many young kids and leaving others spineless. Some books were odd; most of them were spooky.
However, some notable mentions in the series seemed far more wonky than anything. Here are some books that will have you scratching at your scalp, or maybe, your skull.
