You think Blumhouse’s M3GAN is a big deal? From 1988 to 1991, Chucky was even bigger. From 7-Eleven to Spencer’s Gifts, American stores were crammed to the brim with Child’s Play comics, toys, posters, bumper stickers, magazines, books and t-shirts.

Out of all the popular Universal monsters, werewolves may have appeared the most often in ‘90s children’s literature. There was something about these hirsute creatures of the night that appealed to young readers back then.

Dolls will never go out of fashion as a child’s toy, but in horror literature, they reached their peak somewhere in the 1980s. There was no quicker way to convey unease by illustrating a creepy doll on a book cover, though on many occasions a doll wasn’t even a crucial part of the story. These […]

Had it not already been taken, “How to Win Friends and Influence People” would have been a better title for Michael August’s second volume in the Scream series. Instead, this 1994 book borrows the name of a relatively obscure 1980 slasher movie, New Year’s Evil, but it hardly has any slashing. August (real name: Sidney Williams) […]
