''Literature/{{Goosebumps}} [=HorrorLand=]'' is a 2008-2012 spinoff of the original ''Goosebumps'' series, and the first new prose series based on it since the ending of ''Goosebumps Series 2000'' and ''Literature/GiveYourselfGoosebumps'' in 2000.
Unlike the previous series, ''[=HorrorLand=]'' features an ongoing storyline. Each of the first ten books is divided into two sections; the first introduces a set of kids and villains, some from the original series and some being completely new, who have a scary adventure. The second section, titled "Enter [=HorrorLand=]" in each book, features the protagonists receiving invitations to the [=HorrorLand=] theme park as Very Special Guests for unknown purposes, sometimes finding hints that their enemies may have followed them. At the climax of book 10's "Enter [=HorrorLand=]" segment, Luke and Lizzie Morris from the original ''One Day at [=HorrorLand=]'' novel arrived at the park and joined the Very Special Guests for the last two books of that story arc.
Alongside the main books, Scholastic released two websites, the game-centered ''Enter [=HorrorLand=]'' and the ''[=Escape HorrorLand=]'' blog, ostensibly a blog operated by Luke and Lizzie in which they investigated the recent strange happenings at [=HorrorLand=]. The blog itself was discovered and read by some of the Very Special Guests in book 7.
The series was also accompanied by ''Classic Goosebumps'', which reprinted ten of the original series' books (and later more) as companions to each of the new books. Each book also contained new bonus material related to the story and the [=HorrorLand=] series.
Following the conclusion of the original twelve-book arc, a second arc of seven books was announced. Each started with one or more kids who had visited [=HorrorLand=]. On their way out, they stopped at the strange Chiller House gift shop, where owner Jonathan Chiller would offer each of them a miniature Horror figure and a "free" souvenir, with a promise of payment later. The seventh book featured these kids being drawn back to [=HorrorLand=] so they could pay -- not in money, but in a special entertainment for Jonathan Chiller.
The ''Hall of Horrors'' arc, which was more in line with the original series, was released in 2011-2012 and concluded the series. Each is a standalone adventure being told to the Story-Keeper, a Horror who stays in the Hall of Horrors in the depths of [=HorrorLand=] and records all the terrifying stories that are told to them.
The series consists of:

!!Tropes:
[[folder:In general]]
!!The series in general contains examples of:
* AllThereInTheManual: Some of the [=HorrorLand=] books, the ''Classic Goosebumps'' reprints, and [=HorrorLand=] Survival Guide have information about certain monsters that isn't mentioned in the actual books.
* CanonDiscontinuity: Several in the ''[=HorrorLand=]'' spinoff.
** The ''[=HorrorLand=]'' series continues the stories of Carly Beth, the Haunted Mask, and the Deep Siblings, but the events of the sequels are never mentioned, and the characters are the same age as they were in the originals.
** The evil camera from ''Literature/{{Say Cheese and Die}}!'' only returns, and not Greg or Shari. In fact, the camera's backstory is rewritten so that it was originally created specifically for a movie called ''Say Cheese and Die Screaming'' that was scrapped because of unexplained accidents that kept occurring on set.
** ''Monster Blood'' is the only exception to this since it focuses on the substance and not Evan Ross.
* CanonWelding: All the books from the original series that got sequels are now combined into a single universe, linked by [=HorrorLand=].
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Thanks to ''Goosebumps [=HorrorLand=]'', many of the human characters from the original series don't reappear alongside the enemies they fought, including the cast of the first four ''Monster Blood'' books, who are completely replaced with brand new characters in ''Monster Blood for Breakfast''. Considering how widely disliked the majority of the old cast was (except for Andy), the use of this trope isn't too surprising.
* CoversAlwaysLie: The ''[=HorrorLand=]'' books do this fairly consistently. The cover to ''Monster Blood for Breakfast'' for example features (presumably) the protagonist engulfed in the eponymous BlobMonster, while the main section of the book actually deals with BodyHorror. ''Who's Your Mummy'' features a mummy ringing a doorbell; the only stereotypical mummies in the book are immobile.
* CruelTwistEnding: This tradition continues in the ''[=HorrorLand=]'' books. For example, ''My Friends Call Me Monster'' ends with Michael and his family eating a cake baked with eggs made to turn them into monsters... but since the story has to continue into [=HorrorLand=], it is later, almost casually explained how they undid it. Given the two-story format of the series, this happens a lot.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Arc 1 (books 1-12)]]
!!Arc 1 contains examples of:
* ActionizedSequel: While the first ''Deep Trouble'' was an adventure story, the action was mostly in the last act. ''Creep From the Deep'' features more action and peril throughout the whole book.
* AmbiguouslyAbsentParent: Abby and Peter's parents in ''Who's Your Mummy?'' are completely absent with no explanation; it's only said that Abby and Peter have been living with their Granny Vee since they were little, and she's the only family they have.
* BittersweetEnding: Discussed in ''Dr. Maniac Vs Robby Schwartz''. Robby is forced to [[spoiler: delete his brother, who had turned out to be Dr. Maniac, in order to save the town.]] After it is revealed that [[spoiler: the whole book was a comic strip he wrote, Robby comments on how the ending was "triumphant, but sad"]].
* ChekhovsGun: ''Who's Your Mummy?'' has a more literal example, with the kids having squirt guns that end up being useful, since [[spoiler: the villains are hurt by water]].
* ChekhovsSkill: Early on in ''Creep from the Deep'', Dr. D is teaching Billy how to use a spear. Later on, he uses this to [[spoiler: throw Captain Ben's leg into him, which destroys him]].
* CloudCuckoolander: Doctor Maniac in all of his books.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: ''Creep from the Deep'' has a supernatural antagonist, whereas its predecessor ''Deep Trouble'' relied on immoral humans as villains.
* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: While the first four ''Monster Blood'' books had StrawLoser Evan Ross, ''Monster Blood for Breakfast'' had Matt Daniels, who is athletic and popular.
* CrisisCrossover: The first arc brings together classic Goosebumps villains (and the odd protagonist) into a single storyline for the first time (the stage show doesn't count).
* EasilyThwartedAlienInvasion: It's somewhat hard to take the antagonists from ''My Friends Call Me Monster'' seriously when they are defeated by being dropped into a giant egg. Which one of them was hatching.
* EvilIsHammy: Dr. Maniac and Purple Rage.
* TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou: The ''[=HorrorLand=]'' book ''Doctor Maniac vs Robby Schwartz'', in which the comic characters emerge into the real world. Sort of. This was also the plot of the 2015 movie, in which an army of villains from the books escape into the real world.
* GhostPirate: Captain Long Ben One Leg and his crew from ''Creep from the Deep''
* InMediasRes:
** ''Revenge of the Living Dummy'' starts with Brittney and Molly digging in a graveyard, then jumps back two weeks earlier.
** ''My Friends Call Me Monster'' starts with Michael, Daisy and [=DeWayne=] sneaking into their teacher's house in order to prank her. The next chapter picks up two weeks earlier.
* KillItWithWater: In ''Who's Your Mummy'', the villains are destroyed by contact with water. Even a small handful that Abby spits out from her mouth is enough to cause them to disintegrate into ashes.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: By the end of the first arc of the ''[=HorrorLand=]'' series, there are roughly ''16'' kids involved in the story. Their relevance to the bigger story varies.
* MagicHair: In ''Who's Your Mummy?'', Abby and Peter's hair [[spoiler: contains a rare protein that keeps mummies alive.]]
* MagicMirror: The first arc made it a plot point that mirrors could be used as a gateway from [=HorrorLand=] to Panic Park.
* MiddleChildSyndrome: Robby's brother Sam in ''Dr. Maniac Vs Robby Schwartz''. This becomes his motivation for [[spoiler: becoming Dr. Maniac.]]
* NestedStoryReveal: The majority of ''Dr. Maniac Vs. Robby Schwartz'' is revealed to be a comic strip Robbie was doing, which his mother is reading over his shoulder after he finishes it.
* NoSocialSkills: Subverted with Robby Schwartz from the ''[=HorrorLand=]'' series who denies that this is the reason why he spends so much time on his computer -- he just really likes designing webcomics.
* NonindicativeName: The book ''Revenge Of The Living Dummy'' never explains exactly what Slappy is getting revenge ''for''.
* OddlyNamedSequel: Some of the ''[=HorrorLand=]'' books serve as sequels to the classic books -- but with extremely strange names. ''Monster Blood for Breakfast!'' is perhaps a notable example.
* PoliceAreUseless: In ''Dr. Maniac Vs Robby Shwartz'', some officers are searching for Robby's little brother Sam, and take a random kid assuming it's him, even while he insists he's not Sam.
* ThePowerOfHate: Panic Park is home to a ride called "The Tunnel of Hate", which causes the people who travel inside it to turn into raving lunatics.
* ProfessorGuineaPig: In ''Welcome to Camp Slither'', Dr. Crawler and his assistant had created an experimental cure for snake venom, and used themselves as test subjects. Instead of the desired results, they ended up turning themselves and a bunch of other people into were-snakes.
* PutOnABus: Some of the younger siblings from the first segments in books 1-10 don't go on to appear in the ''Enter [=HorrorLand=]'' segments -- Matt's sister Livvy, Abby's brother Peter, and Boone's sister Heather are all left out.
* QuestioningTitle: ''[=HorrorLand=]'''s ''Who's Your Mummy?''
* RaisedByGrandparents: Peter and Abby in ''Who's Your Mummy?'' have lived with their Granny Vee since they were little.
* RevengeOfTheSequel: Nearly all of the sequels in this series use stock titles of this type, starting with ''Revenge of the Living Dummy'', rather than numbering them.
* ShoutOut: If the inspiration for the ''Say Cheese and Die'' books wasn't clear enough, someone in ''Say Cheese-And Die Screaming!'' says "it's a very...[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS2E46AMostUnusualCamera unusual camera"]].
* SnakePeople: Dr. Crawler in ''Welcome to Camp Slither'', who's revealed to have accidentally turned himself and a whole bunch of other people into were-snakes.
* SummerCampy: ''Welcome to Camp Slither'' from the ''[=HorrorLand=]'' series.
* TakeOverTheWorld: This is the goal of Hyborg-Xrxuz/[[spoiler: Mrs. Hardesty]] in ''My Friends Call Me Monster''.
* {{Telepathy}}: The power Jillian gains in ''Help! We Have Strange Powers!''
* ThemeTwinNaming: '''J'''ackson and '''J'''illian, the protagonists of ''Help! We Have Strange Powers!''.

[[folder:Arc 2 (books 13-19)]]
!!Arc 2 contains examples of:
* AbusiveParents: Jonathan Chiller, the antagonist of the second ''[=HorrorLand=]'' arc, had a mom that kept him inside all day to "nurture his mind" and his dad only protested because he wanted him to be a hunter like his father. When a hunt resulted in Jonathan getting hurt, his dad only laughed. Is it really no surprise he became as messed up as he is?
* DistantPrologue: The first chapter of ''The Horror at Chiller House'' is a prologue set decades prior to set up the backstory, in this case showing Jonathan Chiller as a child.
* HalloweenEpisode: ''Weirdo Halloween''
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: ''The Horror at Chiller House'' has Jonathan Chiller and his hunters hunting for kids under the guise of a scavenger hunt.
* NewYearHasCome: ''Slappy New Year!''
* RodentsOfUnusualSize: The ''[=HorrorLand=]'' book, ''Little Shop of Hamsters''.
* TimeTravelEpisode: ''Heads, You Lose!''

[[folder:''Hall of Horrors'' (books 20-25)]]
!!The ''Hall of Horrors'' arc contains examples of:
* BadLuckCharm: The Vulture's Claw in ''The Birthday Party of No Return''.
* DisproportionateRetribution: In ''Night of the Giant Everything'', Stephen accidentally breaks an egg in Ava's kitchen. Her and Courtney respond by ''mixing up chemicals in the lab and putting it in his water to ruin his magic trick''. [[spoiler: However, downplayed as it turned out they lied and just put vinegar in.]]
* HalloweenEpisode: ''The Five Masks of Dr. Screem''
* IncredibleShrinkingMan: The premise of ''Night of the Giant Everything'', which is actually a reworked version of a scrapped Series 2000 book, fittingly called ''The Incredible Shrinking 5th Grader''.
* NeverTrustATitle: ''The Birthday Party of No Return'' has only one scene taking place at a birthday party, which is just used for a dramatic setting for the climax of the story and doesn't intrinsically have anything to do with the problem at hand [[spoiler: (the protagonist being affected by a cursed artifact.)]]
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The zombies in ''Why I Quit Zombie School'' are indeed undead but they are capable of dying for good, and they need a place called "The Reviver Room" to renew their energy or fix any major problems.
* ShoutOut: The eponymous zombie school in ''Why I Quit Zombie School'' is called [[Creator/GeorgeARomero Romero]] Academy.
* StrangerInAStrangeSchool: This is the premise of ''Why I Quit Zombie School''.
