![]() That also means that it lacks the ‘ridiculous plot-twist’ element that, like all bad horror movies, makes Point Horror so compelling. I always preferred the ‘ooh the cheerleader’s running amok with an axe’ to the ‘ooh it’s a ghost’ books, and Dream Date is firmly in the paranormal camp. ![]() I started with Dream Date by Sinclair Smith, which is probably the worst book in the series to begin with. With this in mind, I revisited the stack of Point Horrors gathering dust on my bookshelf, knowing although they wouldn’t be as scary as when I was 12, at least I’d enjoy reading them and so the Point Horrorween challenge was born – to read as many as I could around Halloween.At around 150 pages each (and with big writing, hurrah for big writing!), they don’t take long to read, and they’re written in a style to keep the plot moving and keep low-tolerance teenagers engrossed, so you whizz through them. ![]() There’s been a real lack of good horror films this year, and I longed for the days when a Point Horror book could leave me so scared I’d sneak downstairs to hide it under the dog’s bed so it wouldn’t be in my room while I slept. Coming up to Halloween this year, I was feeling a bit uninspired by the season. ![]()
