Three previously published Goosebumps stories get graphic novel treatments. "One Day at Horrorland" and "A Shocker on Shock Street" are nearly identical, as people trapped in haunted amusement parks find their way out through twist endings; "Deep Trouble" is about discovering a mermaid and possibly a sea monster. These overlong adaptations occasionally drag. Somewhat varied panel illustrations help differentiate the stories.
