One Day at HorrorLand
One Day at HorrorLand is the sixteenth children's horror novel in R. L. Stine's Goosebumps series, and was originally published in February 1994. It was adapted into a two-part episode for the television series, which was later released on VHS and DVD. A comic adaptation of the book was included in the graphic novel compilation Terror Trips, part of the Goosebumps Graphix series. There were two video games, an audiobook, and an adult-aimed interactive show based on the book. A sequel in the spin-off series Goosebumps Series 2000 titled Return to HorrorLand was published in 1999. The HorrorLand theme park was expanded upon in the book series Goosebumps HorrorLand. The two-part episode was released on VHS and DVD. The book and episodes received positive reception.
The Morris family and their friend Clay become lost, accidentally finding the HorrorLand theme park. Shortly after parking, their car explodes, but the ticket-taker reassures them that it will be taken care of. The children, Lizzy, Luke and Clay, explore the theme park and get on the rides. After a ride in which Lizzy is locked in a casket traveling down a river, the three of them attempt to convince the Morris parents, Carl and Peggy, that they all should leave. The two reveal that they experienced similar problems, so they all decide to confront the Horrors, the park's green-suited employees, who resemble green humans with demonic horns.
After the Morris family and Clay discover that the gates have been locked to prevent their escape, the monsters surround them. In anger, Lizzy tries to remove a mask from one of the monsters, which she discovers is actually the Horror's face. The Horrors explain that they are real monsters, and the visitors' experiences were part of a television show airing worldwide on the monster-exclusive Monster Channel. As an apology, the monsters say that they will lead them towards a new car, but they are led to carnivorous animals, still part of the show.
After the family survives the animals' attack, the monsters attempt to murder them. Lizzy then remembers signs within the park that said "No pinching". The visitors proceed to pinch all of the monsters, resulting in them deflating like balloons. The Morris family and Clay escape HorrorLand in a different car, but in a twist ending, find out that a Horror held onto the back of the vehicle until they reached their home. Impressed by their escape, the monster offers them free passes for their next visit.
The book was originally published in February 1994. The cover artist Tim Jacobus sketched 2 covers with pencil before the final sketching and then completed a color mockup. A sketch cover depicts Lizzy, Luke and Clay riding on a roller coaster. The author of The Art of Goosebumps, Sarah Rodriguez, wrote that "Jacobus used blues and muted greens to suggest loneliness and abandonment with the amusement park lit slightly with orange to hint that night is falling". Rodriguez said, "The overall effect is creepy without being overtly so." It was a USA Today bestseller in March 1994. It was released again in 2011, under the Classic Goosebumps rename. Return to HorrorLand, a sequel to the book and the thirteenth book of the series Goosebumps Series 2000, was released in 1999. Lizzy, Luke, and Clay revisit HorrorLand, so that they can attempt to close the theme park.
A video game titled Goosebumps: Escape from Horrorland was released in 1996, by DreamWorks, for Microsoft Windows. Players encounter film monsters such as Dracula (played by Jeff Goldblum). In a 2008 video game titled Goosebumps HorrorLand, released for the Wii, Nintendo DS and PlayStation 2, the players attempt to escape from the theme park. The book was adapted into a board game titled Goosebumps One Day at HorrorLand Game, which was released by Milton Bradley Company in 1996.
Terror Trips, the second volume of the graphic novel trilogy Goosebumps Graphix, includes an adaptation that was illustrated by Jill Thompson. R. J. Carter, of The Trades, wrote that some panels of the comic were influenced by manga. Jennifer Feigelman, of Kliatt wrote that the comic adaptation within Terror Trips has "frenetic lines and mismatched panel sizing" and is "destined to be a hit with the "tween" crowd".
An audiobook read by Tara Sands was released in 2017. It was one of the books featured in a 2015 interactive show aimed at an adult audience which was beneath London's Waterloo Station in abandoned railway tunnels. Goosebumps HorrorLand is a book series that takes place in HorrorLand.
