!!The book contains examples of:



** Also, a lot of people's skin melt off. It's all very reminiscent of that terrifying scene at the end of ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk''.

!!The episode contains examples of:

* The episode is considered one of the episodes that are genuinely scary thanks to its creepy and gloomy atmosphere, music, and well done zombie makeup.
** This can be a very unsettling watch, even for adults, depending on your point of view. The town itself is just so dark and creepy, and everyone they meet wears hats and heavy clothes and is always acting a little ''off''. Then we start hearing strange voices and other creepy shit, ending part one with an unsettling scene of a hand in a barrel. Part 2 is when the zombies/vampires/whatever come into play. And even for a kids show, they portray them pretty well. They are quite unnerving. Especially with the music.. Great episode.
* It’s eerie how the Thurstons talk to Amanda and her family once the wreath is destroyed, revealing how they were waiting for it to be removed so they could feed off the Bensons. Karen reassuring Amanda they can be best friends once the feeding is done only adds to the threatening tone shift.
** Karen seems genuine in her plea to be best friends, which makes it even worse. She seems to ''hate'' what she has to do in both the book and episode so the process of befriending to "feed" must be nightmare fuel for her as well. She seems more emotionless when speaking than other Dark Falls residents despite her apparent friendliness. Perhaps she has PTSD from doing what she has to do to survive? That doubles as a TearJerker and as well, plus some FridgeHorror on the side.
* The opening two minutes have the same eerie and genuinely unsettling, ominous atmosphere that you'd expect from a Stephen King adaptation. The episode itself, while scary for a Goosebumps episode, is of course nothing compared to It or The Shining, but it has the kind of dark and ominous atmosphere you'd expect from a horror movie for adults.

* ''Welcome to Dead House'' is very scary. R.L. Stine really didn't sugarcoat how scary this series was going to be and it ''damn well shows''.
