A Midsummer Night's Scream by R.L. Stine
2.0
Claire’s father is a movie producer. He has finally agreed to allow Claire and her friend Delia to be in one of his movies. The movie is really a fresh start on a horror movie that was never finished in the 1960’s. The reason…three of the actors were murdered while filming the movie.
To make things interesting Claire’s love interest, Jake will also be at the movie studio. Too bad he has eyes for Delia, who in turn has eyes for Jake’s friend, Shawn.
I can remember reading R.L. Stine books. I guess you could say they helped give me a brief look into horror books but without all of the gore. Plus the books did not give me nightmares. I can even remember watching the television show based on the books. So when I saw Mr. Stine had come out with a new book, I wanted to check it out, especially since it was aimed at an older audience and it was a horror book.
Well I can tell you that I was sorely disappointed in this book. I expected so much more from Mr. Stine. The characters were not that interesting and there was no surprises. The story read as if the characters were reading off the rough draft of a script for a “D” horror movie with no name actors who can not act, really bad writing, no real plot, and after reading this book if you stick with it that long will have you saying “WTF”. Kind of like a sci-fi television movie.
