(5 out of 5 stars)
"This DVD contains 3 scary episodes from the R.L. Stine collection. These episodes are short (about 20 minutes each), so the whole DVD can be viewed in one sitting. My children are big fans of the "Goosebumps" DVDs, and this one is one of the best.
The first episode is entitled "The Headless Ghost". Duane and Stephanie are frequent visitors to Hill House; an old mansion that is rumored to be haunted. During one of their visits, they stumble across the ghost of a young boy who lost his head. Now, he's come for one of theirs!
In episode 2, entitled "Awesome Ants", pals Dave and Ben decide to grow an ant farm for their science project. Ignoring the instructions not to overfeed the ants, the boys begin feeding them hot dogs and any other thing they can find. Soon, the ants are overrunning the house.
The third and final episode is entitled "Teacher's Pet". Becca is excited about going on an overnight camping trip with her science class. However, once at the campground, Becca discovers some really strange animals. It turns out that the camp science teacher is doing a little cross-breeding, and Becca is on the menu!
As with the other DVDs in the "Goosebumps" series, the episodes contained on this DVD are scary, but not so much as to give young kids nightmares. My three children, ages 10, 8, and 6, really enjoy watching this series. The stories are spooky and the kids really enjoy them.
I give this DVD my highest recommendation. The stories are scary, and children will surely enjoy watching them."
