Based on One Day at HorrorLand, book #16 of the original Goosebumps series.
Luke and Lizzy Morris, along with their family, end up in a monster-based theme park, and soon find the dangers are real.
The episode provides examples of:
- Adapted Out: Clay does not appear in this version.
- Ambiguously Gay: The makeup artist horror, given his outfit, profession, and mannerisms.
- Death by Adaptation: Unlike the book, the Morris family wins a car after surviving Horrorland — and then are shown to drive dangling onto the edge of a cliff, which the Horror host refers to as a cliffhanger ending. We then see an elderly Horror couple watching the end of the show.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: The host of Raw Deal announces that they are going to commercial, just as the show itself cuts to commercial.
- Lighter and Softer: Where the book plays the premise straight, much of the episode (particularly the Raw Deal segments) is turned into a Black Comedy of sorts.
- No Celebrities Were Harmed: “Holly Tosis”, a monster version of Vanna White. Also a Punny Name.
- Not a Mask: Near the end of the story when Lizzie and her entire family gets cornered by hordes of Horrors, a frustrated Lizzie — who's still thinking the Horrors are merely actors — grab a nearby Horror's face and tugs at it, intending to see who's under that mask. Unfortunately, the Horrors are real monster.
