BOOK HAUL | VINTAGE TEEN HORROR (Fear Street, Point Horror, Christopher Pike...)

[@tidalboxer]

Christopher Pike is AMAZING!

[@alyssamorgan3044]

Wow... It's amazing how seeing some of these covers transports me back to being a kid in the 90s devouring these books. Awesome video!

[@LibraryMacabre]

I always hope my videos will be a time machine for some people. ☺️

[@janinepipehorrorwriter3876]

You know what this has done, it’s made me read a Point Horror today and I have no regrets 🥰

[@LibraryMacabre]

You are so welcome!! 😉

[@jadakissable9]

Which one was it? Was it good

[@NerdSquish]

Goodnight Kiss is one of my favorite Fear Street books. I remember the first time I read it, my family was on vacation in Destin, FL. So anytime I visit destin, I always think of it 🖤

[@bbcb1856]

Goodnight Kiss is great!!

[@LibraryMacabre]

I love reading books like that on vacation. Every time I pick it up after, there are so many memories from the vacation attached to it. 😎

[@raquelb6766]

One of my favorites! I

[@ElizabethSagewood]

Gorgeous haul - when you said you loved The Face on the Milk Carton, it made me smile, I remember reading that book so many times but never continued with the series. Caroline B Cooney is fantastic.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Same here, I read it so many times but never read the rest. I should finally do that! Haha

[@princessjen6009]

I still have most those books, I will never give them up!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Never ever!

[@MLyonArt]

Ooh thank you for that trip back in time. There was very little that could beat a day browsing through all of those books at the library, and spending hours reading them. I was a Christopher Pike addict, with some R. L. Stine and Diane Hoh thrown in.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Those were the days! 😁

[@lasaves3207]

Yay here you are again with those retro/90's covers. I LOVE them!! :D

[@LibraryMacabre]

They’re the best!!

[@sydb1566]

omg !! i haven’t finished watching but had to pause and comment, i love that intro! i haven’t been watching and finally am catching up today, it feels like netflix dropped a new season 🥰 i love watching you and glad i’m stocked up on new content !

[@LibraryMacabre]

Awww, that’s awesome! Thank you so much! I love when people binge my videos ☺️😁 Please, binge away! It really helps me out. 🙌📚

[@spidernate9573]

I'm currently reading Dead End at the moment. It's kinda got a I Know What You Did Last Summer vibe to it.

[@Firefairy1212]

As a 90’s kid, LJ Smith was one of my absolute favorite childhood/preteen authors. It still kills me that she never finished her Night World Series, but I always loop back to her website every five years or so to check for updates. I finally acquired the last couple first editions of that series last year, and they have the most perfect pulp horror covers 😆

[@princessjen6009]

I having a feeling Strange Fate will never be released. We will never know how the series ends. 😭

[@LibraryMacabre]

Yeah, I’ve heard she’s been teasing that final book for years. Maybe one day a miracle will happen! I really loved her Secret Circle trilogy.

[@NakiasHideaway]

Omg love this!!!! I was a child in the 80s so this just takes me back. Christopher Pike used to be my favorite author as a child! And I'm reading The Babysitter this month. Now that I know it has your stamp of approval I'm extra excited! 🎃 🖤

[@LibraryMacabre]

It’s sooooo good! I’m excited to see what they do with the show!

[@bbcb1856]

Love these!!!!! This made me reread Broken Date!!

[@AR1GAT0]

Growing up in the city, I had only had a small group of friends who would read horror books, and sort of obsess over them every library day. This brings back memories of running through the library to get the scariest book we could find, we would read and trade with a friend to read what they've borrowed. I'll have to check out some of these titles! Great video!

[@ZitaZebra]

I've never heard anyone mention face on the milk carton before! I love that book and still have my original copy from when i was a kid.

[@HarpiesintheTrees]

OMG, Prom Dress!! That was one of my favorite books 🥰 🤩 So many treasures in there! Is there a word for "Drooling over books"? 😂 I wish that style of artwork like Pikes book would come back .

[@LibraryMacabre]

I wish it would too! I’m fact, if things go as planned, it will come back very soon... 😉

[@nikkihall7994]

Trick or Treat is my favorite non-Pike book from that time. Sadly, I know that I've read Party Line, Sister Dearest and Beach Party but don't remember a single thing about them. I have some vague recollections of Prom Dress. And I love Samantha Slade. I have all four books, which I purchased on eBay about 10 years ago or so. Glad I did so given how many people are feeling nostalgic and buying books from the 90's now.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Yeah, point horror books, as much as I love them, are formulaic and can be easy to forget.

[@ValerieGeary]

The Haunting of Frances Rain was one of my favorites growing up! Thanks for the nostalgia! 😄

[@LibraryMacabre]

Oh good! I hadn’t heard of it, but I’m glad to hear some good things about it now. :)

[@jep2022ify]

My dad always took me to book stores to browse and on occasion would let me come home with a few books. I always chose Christopher Pike books. They started my love for reading. This video makes me wish I had held on to those books! Great haul!!

[@LibraryMacabre]

My dad would take me to the bookstore too and let me buy a few fear street. I miss those days!

[@nicoleamburgey4978]

Amazing haul!

[@brittneygroce4421]

All of these books are like catnip for me. The Fear Park trilogy is my favorite of the Fear Street books.

[@LibraryMacabre]

I’m excited to read that trilogy! I never did as a kid, but I love amusement parks and carnivals!

[@ninaw3748]

Like catnip 😂 I love that comparison haha 😻

[@loganhooper8090]

Yup, definitely it is a good one and glad I have them all. I also have The Fear Street Saga trilogy.

[@chezbearreads670]

Omg this is where my love for horror started I had heaps of these but gave them away and now I’ve been recollecting them

[@LibraryMacabre]

I’m glad you’re back into collecting them! We all need nostalgia these days.

[@pamelacox5226]

Aside from R.L. Stine, Carol Ellis and A Bates are my favorite authors. I wish they had more books.

[@ricktimus73]

Great video, Cameron! Always fascinated to learn more about these sort of books because it's a reminder of how much I missed out on as a kid in the nineties who wasn't a reader. It's a tragedy, but there's also a certain charm to reading these kitschy tales as an old man. Also that Deadtime Stories cover gives me the heebie-jeebies now in my thirties so I can only assume it would have scared the living daylights out of me as a kid. I am, of course, immediately adding it to a wish list.

[@LibraryMacabre]

It does have a creepy cover, doesn’t it?? 😂🤣

[@stephenanthony3094]

Party Line was the VERY FIRST Point Horror book i bought as a kid in the 90s. I read it again recently and I didn't remember anything about it. It was ok. It was very confusing. I still have all of my original Fear Street/R.L. Stine books. My dad actually donated all of my other Pike, Hoh, RTC, etc., to my school library without telling me. I was so mad. So I've been slowly trying to find them again.

[@LibraryMacabre]

My mom did that once with a bunch of my books as a kid, donated them to the school. I was so upset. Haha

[@becausemynameiscommon5609]

Christopher Pike was one of my favorite writers. The Witch was one of the first books I had read without a traditionally happy ending. I had books shelves filled with horror writers. I also liked all of the LJ Smith books like the Forbidden Game Series and Dark Vision series. Caroline B. Cooney was awesome writer as well.

[@j.n.cahill1086]

I still love Fear Street! I need to find and read more point horror aside from that, but do have a few of Caroline B. Cooney's point horror books! I remember loving Who Killed the Homecoming Queen and Fear Park!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Point horror books are just sooo much fun! Enjoy reading more of them 😎📚

[@antp7600]

Great haul!! Honestly can't wait for the fear street movies and the midnight club tv series.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Me too! I’m over the moon excited for them. Hoping for a full fear street trailer soon 🤞

[@gwenlovinglife454]

The babysitter is so good, masks me want to read again❤️.

[@TheBookubus]

Awesome haul! The Surfer is a pretty wacky one. I recently reread Fatal Secrets and thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn’t realise The Grave was a rare one...I found a copy a couple of years ago in a thrift store! I have read it and...it wasn’t my favourite 😬😂

[@LibraryMacabre]

I remember seeing your review of The Grave. Maybe there’s a reason why it’s rare... 😂🤣 I’ll still give it a read though. I wanna read all his books eventually. Thanks, Alex!

[@itisme8076]

Incredible new collection!

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you!

[@jamiehav0k62]

deffinitely check out the uk editions of christopher pike books. The front covers are awesome! They matched pikes more adult tone compared to a lot of the other ya novels of the time.

[@LibraryMacabre]

I love the UK covers! I have Slumber Party with the closeup of the burning snowman, but I have to get more still. Also, I’m trying to collect the Nightmares books. I only have one right now, but World of Books seems to have a lot of them. Hopefully they’ll come in good condition 🤞

[@davidalbee5039]

[@pipochocolate]

awesome dude. The art of the covers its so great

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you for thebtime travel. I loved The Midnight Club by Christopher Pike

[@IWasaTeenageTeenWolf]

With all the teen horror series coming out based on classic titles, I'm seriously hoping we see something from the Strange Matter guys! Love Rilo Buru and his love for pizza in the Strange Forces spin-off series!

[@LibraryMacabre]

I would love that! Did you know one of the Strange Matter books was adapted into a Haunting Hour episode? I think it was the Creature Feature book.

[@IWasaTeenageTeenWolf]

@@LibraryMacabre I didn't know that! That's awesome! :D Strange Matters is so criminally underrated it's insane. Even looking at the covers on these books give me that Goosebumps spark of nostalgia that tickles the inner kid in me. XD (Probably my favorite cover is Fly the Unfriendly Skies. It's really bad CGI.....yet it works!)

[@ghostinthepages6628]

awesome haul! I recently got back into Point Horror and other ya horror from my childhood. I think we are the same age. I've been doing a cover collage so that I can get one of those photo throw blankets from walmart made of Point Horror favorites

I have a couple of Unleashed titles but haven’t read them. Some look good, others are questionable... Haha

[@ninaw3748]

Did you know there is also a series called Mutant Point Horror?

[@jamiehav0k62]

There was a series published as "Nightmares" in the uk which were pretty cool, titles i remember were "Nightmare inn, The attic, the pool, Room 13 by TS Rue. Deadly stranger by mc summer, Class trip and love you to death by bebe faas rice. i think my favorites were christopher pike. Titles like The last vampire, The lost mind, Die softly and The wicked Heart were really cool and were probably the darkest ya novels i read.

[@dudatupini]

I want so much that fear street's books come to the book shops in my country, translated and in the original language. Fortunately, with the new movies on Netflix, now that's very close to happen

[@rachelrobinson2636]

[@bradrouse6612]

Currently I have been collecting fright time books from Walden books.

[@jackheslop2367]

Have you ever read an author called Robert Cormier? As a '90s YA fan you might like him if you haven't. He was an American young adult writer who wrote more crime and psychological suspense novels than full on horror, though at least one involves a child turning invisible. He's notable for the darker and more socially thematic elements (he dealt with issues like mental illness, bullying, and family dysfunction) in his work, surprising for a YA writer. He wrote a very dark book in the '90s called Tenderness, about a teenage runaway who comes in contact with a teenager serial killer. He's most famous for The Chocolate War and Beyond the Chocolate War, about a boys' school run by a violent secret society of students.

[@LibraryMacabre]

I’ve heard about The Chocolate War but I didn’t realize that’s what it was about. I’ll have to check out his work! Thanks!

[@nevskislake]

Another amazing haul. Thank you, as always, for your videos! Weird question, but would you ever be willing to post a wish list for titles that you are still looking for? I am not sure if that would be more hassle than it is worth, but I bet some subscribers might be willing to help you complete your collections.

[@LibraryMacabre]

Thank you! That’s an idea, and a few subscribers have send me some books but I always feel guilty taking them for some reason. Haha I’m an awkward gift accepter, I guess. 😆

I love point horror. My dream was to become a point horror author! I have just finished my first YA horror book :). Have you read 'The Forbidden Game' The hunter by L Smith? It's brilliant. If you ever got round to reading beach party I hope you enjoyed it.... it was one of my faves.

im searching for a YA Horror series, maybe you can help me. it´s been almost 20 years since i read it and i read it in the german edition. The Series is 3 books. On the Cover is an old house with eyes above it in the sky. each book had the same cover with a different colour. The Books are about a family that move to new house (or rent it for vacation) and the twist is that a crazy old women/witch is living in the basement. she burns to death in the end. maybe this rings some bells, i´ve been searching for this a while now.
