Which the soap opera fan in me should have seen coming. The Perfect Date and I'm sure numerous other ones partook in this epic, last minute fake out. It should also be noted that this kid became a jealous monster and was terrible to his friends. Which if you really think about, the Perfect Date is essentially this exact same plot. Hot damn.

But yeah, this is a real classic.

Which is why it took him forever to realize that Lisa could be a pretty good catch (I always had a soft spot for Lisa, for some reason. I think partly because she seemed to show up everywhere at first and seemed fairly sane and smart).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047632800446883420.post-9099837287063559372008-09-22T13:40:00.000-06:002008-09-22T13:40:00.000-06:00Cover scenes that don't actually happen and dream ...Cover scenes that don't actually happen and dream sequences go perfectly together. They're both cheap attempts to spice up a book that are ultimately cons. Although sometimes the cover scenes that don't happen are just laziness, so they can mass-produce the covers without having to read the book. That's gotta be what it is with Fear Street. Fun fact: One of the new Goosebumps books goes one step further and has a cover depicting a dream sequence.

Mine is so blunt it could barely cut butter, let alone throats. Anyway this book sounds awesome, and indeed very typical Fear Street. And I am comforted to learn that Fear Street started off with psychos. How long was it before Stine decided to bring on the monsters?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047632800446883420.post-58688540096902514972008-09-22T13:32:00.000-06:002008-09-22T13:32:00.000-06:00They re-released a number of Fear Street books wit...They re-released a number of Fear Street books with new covers. I really prefer the older ones. Like old Goosebumps covers, they have an effective way of drawing me to read them. There's something about out-of-context badly drawn teenagers that is quite appealing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047632800446883420.post-91187820889461883642008-09-22T11:37:00.000-06:002008-09-22T11:37:00.000-06:00You are right- The new cover is awesome-way sexier...You are right- The new cover is awesome-way sexier and cooler then the book may have deserved.<BR/><BR/>I would like to know why they look like Cher. Did RL have an obsession with her-does he have a fetish for duct tape and fishnet outfits? Or just wigs? And Cher has had so many different looks, which look are we supposed to believe these characters possess? So many options to choose from there!<BR/><BR/>(and All State from how I understand it is they are the state representative as they have won everything in a specific time frame-I don't know how true this is since we don't have that here)LAKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10279421495229620230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047632800446883420.post-48168198178537744792008-09-22T10:37:00.000-06:002008-09-22T10:37:00.000-06:00Switching of identities has always been one of my ...Switching of identities has always been one of my favorite Fear Street plot lines! I am surprised I don't remember reading this book. I'm almost positive I did.zannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331351853662489682noreply@blogger.com
