Horror Show was a series of scary books for kids written by Richard Brightfield and Jim Razzi. Each book contained 3 or 4 short scary stories and were published by Troll Associates. A mummy who haunts the museum hallways, a meat-eating plant that consumes a pet cat, a mirror that houses all the evils in the world, ghosts that frequent a playground, and a typewriter that types tragedies that come true are just a spooky sampling of the indistinctive, somewhat scary tales in this series.

Take your place as the Horror Show begins. . .
Step into the haunted playground. . .
The swing will take you for a wild ride, and invisible ghosts will give you a push on the slide. Melanie has seen strange happenings in the park, but she doesn’t want to believe the place is haunted.
Her summer fun turns to panic when she’s tuck in the creepy playground after dark. Face to face with the restless ghost of a young boy, Melanie learns the true meaning of terror–and courage.
Meet a mummy with a vengeance. . .
Kevin has always loved to explore the exhibits at the museum. The new mummy’s really neat–and Kevin can’t resist borrowing the amulet he finds in the mummy’s coffin. But he discovers that ancient curses don’t die. . . and maybe mummies don’t, either!
Keep your fingers away from Marvin. . .
Steven’s genuine, meat-eating plant loves hamburgers and steak. But when Aunt Mathilda comes to visit, she forces everyone in the house on a vegetarian diet. Steven can put up with eggplant and oatmeal and carrots for a few weeks, but his plant is beginning to starve. Who will be Marvin’s next meal?
Enjoy the show. . . if you dare.
