Thank you. And thank you all for the wonderful comments and questions. I've really enjoyed talking to you. Hope we can do it again. Have a scary Halloween, everyone!

This Q and A session is starting to get scary.

I honestly don't remember. But thank you.

Pet Semetary, I think.

Haha. You need to write your own series.

I was writing joke books and editing a humor magazine. But my first teen horror novel was a #1 bestseller. I soon realized that kids liked to be scared. So I forgot about the funny stuff and became scary.

I make sure kids know it's a fantasy; it's not real. And I put in some funny stuff when I think the horror is getting too intense.

Well, honestly, I hope my grandson reads more of my books than my son did. My son never read one—just to make me nuts.

Just how twisted are you??

They buried them in the hidden crypt in your basement, along with your Uncle Marty.

I read Edgar Allen Poe in jr. high school. The black cat pretty much creeped me out. Also, Ray Bradbury's book, Something Wicked This Way Comes.

They were easier to write than they look. I just numbered a pad from one to 120, then filled it in.

I send a short paragraph to the artist, telling him the basic premise of the book. He takes it from there. I've actually never met the current cover artist. Looking forward to it some day.

Make sure you're mostly bald.

Once I handed in an outline to one of my editors. Later, she handed it back with two words written at the top: Psychotic Ramblings.

This is the 22nd year of Goosebumps. I just keep going. The newest GB book is: "The 12 Screams of Christmas." The new Fear Street book is: Party Games.

This is truly a horror story.

I try.

My GB readers, 7-11, are my favorite audience. It's the last time in their lives, they'll ever be enthusiastic about an author. I get such wonderful mail from them. They are the best, most appreciative readers to write for.

Silent Night and the other books about Reva Dalby were my favorites to write. Reva was so totally mean, I loved writing her.
