Synopsis

In R.L. Stine's A Midsummer Night's Scream, the Master of Horror takes on the Master of Theatre!

Oh, what fools these actors be!

It was a horror movie that turned into real horror--three young actors lost their lives while the camera rolled. Production stopped, and people claimed that the movie was cursed.

Sixty years later, new actors are venturing onto the haunted set. In a desperate attempt to revive their failing studio, Claire's dad has green-lit a remake of Mayhem Manor—and Claire and her friends are dying to be involved.

At first, Claire laughs at Jake's talk of ghosts and curses. He's been too busy crushing on her best friend Delia to notice that she's practically been throwing herself at him. What does he know? And anyway, this is her big chance to be a star!

When shooting starts, though, the set is plagued by a series of horrible accidents—could history be repeating itself?

Reviews

Goodreads review by Linda

Interested in catering? Maybe needlepoint? Churchill spends more time on these subjects than on her characters and what we do get is stereotypical. Even the information about getting published is contrived. Churchill includes vague mentions of a relationship with a detective that takes second place......more

Book #52 of the EBN challenge at my library. Challenge Topic: A book with a punny title. This was a fun little read and quick too. Humorous with serious parts in it. Loved the way she developed the characters but sometimes I wondered where she was going with the story and why she repeated some things.......more
