Point horror

[Crockof]

After the old school reading thread, who else loved point horror!?

Me! Loved them. Still make me feel nostalgic of simpler times back when I was a teen.

Point horror was definitely my thing. Loved it

Loved them. Although some were too scary for my bedtime reading.

Totally loved them. Wish I still had them.

I did and all of mine are still in a bookcase at my parents' house. I've tried to get DDs to read them but they aren't interested. I really should ask for them all and read them again to see if they're as scary as I remember.

My favourite was called The Accident. I think it was about the ghost of a girl who asked to 'borrow' the body of a living girl and refused to give it back. I read it one day as I couldn't put it down.

Loved them! Though I would have to hide them out of sight before it got dark, obviously

Absolutely loved them - I just inhaled them when I got a new one, and would re-read all of them over and over.

I went to Florida when I was thirteen and found loads in a bookshop that hadn’t come out over here yet. It was probably the most amazing moment of my life 😂🤓

A bit later on, I got into Christopher Pike - Monster, Forever Friends, Scavenger Hunt etc. They were bloody brilliant.

What’s the old school reading thread?

Yes I loved these. The babysitter and I think funfair or fairground were my favourite.

I read quite a few of these.
My favourite was The Perfume. Actually quite a creepy story.

Me I loved these and the point romance ones.

Loved them.

Pretty sure it was the start of my horror obsession!

The one that sticks in my mind for odd reasons involved a diabetic and his evil girlfriend injecting air bubbles into his blood stream. Maybe that's why i get freaked out by needles!

I loved the accident too,
They were creepy at the time but I’d forgotten all about them till now

The Perfume was my fav too

Also loved them! Think the invitation was the first one i read. The dead girlfriend... Twins was so creepy!

I loved the Point Horror books. I think there was one called The Babysitter? I remember The Accident too.

Why have I never heard of this??

They were so good. The Forbidden Game trilogy by LJ Smith was brilliant!

Loved them and was terrified by them in equal measure. I remember someone getting beheaded in one and being traumatised for weeks.

I loved point horror! Was a huge fan of scaring myself. Funnily enough, I don't do that well with horror now, I tend to deliberately avoid it. I like a good psychological thriller though.

I had all the books lined up on my window sill. Loved the Accident but I think my favourite was Remember Me. The sequels to that weren't so good though

They were fantastic! I loved Mother's helper and The Hitchhiker. Funny house was good too and the babysitter ones (I think there were two, possibly three) were scary. I wish you could still buy them new.

I was obsessed with Point Horror too. I would read each one in less than a day. My favourite was The Lifeguard which I read over and over again. I also loved Chain Letter (I think it was called) by Christopher Pike.

I want to re read all of them now. Yes to Perfume, The Accident, the one with girlfriend injecting air bubbles into her boyfriend, and also - The Girlfriend, The Boyfriend, Trick or Treat and April Fool’s Day!

Christopher Pike’s seemed a touch older and were always quite sad - always had a bittersweet element, a dead boyfriend or girlfriend that can’t come back and the people left behind struggling with it - that sort of thing.

Omg I loved these but they really did used to scare me senseless!
