Unlike 'Call Waiting', 'Halloween Night' is much more complex story, with more characters & therefore more backstories they bring to the story that the reader has to keep straight. The emotional turmoil that arises from the resentment & envy teenage girls feel is like a geyser! The language too that the characters use is subtly but noticeably more aggressive than that used by the characters in the 'Goosebumps' series.

'Halloween Night' too featured a lot of the standard fare from Stine: an annoying younger sibling, frustrating parents who don't understand the protagonist, & a lot of characters with a penchant for practical jokes. The first one I read was 'Call Waiting', which I finished in four days & already wrote a review on. Stine (save for a couple of the TV episodes & the movie starring Jack Black), I decided this Halloween season to see what other books by Stine I could find on. I first read the title of this book 25 years ago in the "About the Author" section of 'Deep Trouble', which I borrowed from the school library at Hanna Primary.
