Point Horror

[LucilleBluth]

Just ordered some from ebay. I absolutely loved them when I was a teenager. I was telling my teen boys about them, they googled the titles a laughed at me...little shits.

I'm going to burst into their rooms and make them listen to an excerpt from Trick or Treat at 3am, then we'll see who's scared.

They used to scare me shitless.
Did anyone else used to love them?

Yes, Christopher Pike was amazing also! Slightly older than point horror I would say, a good stepping stone to Stephen king.

I'm very jealous of the posters who still have theirs. I used to spend my pocket money on them in John Menzies...god I'm so old. I have no idea what my mother did with mine, she must have charity shopped them along with my stack of Just Seventeens, cow.

I've ordered Trick or Treat and Cheerleader. I'm actually excited.

Yes I looooved them!!! My favourite were the ones by Ritchie Tankersley Cusick (sp?) and Diane Hoh.

I've only read this one (a triple, The Babysitter). Got a box of my old books from my folks a while back and this was in it.

@2beautifulbabs yes! Thank you. Been trying to find that for nearly 20 years. I'd no idea it was by Christopher Pike.

Loved these! R L Stein was my favourite. I used to get the triple collections from the local bookshop. New book smell, dreamy

I still have a stash if them at my parents house and re-read then when I stay. Also loved Christopher Pike

I loved them! I was so young when I started reading them, they used to freak me out a little but I’d always have to read another one.

Christopher pike did a book for adults, Season of Passage, it is one of my favourite books of all time. Even DH enjoyed it and he usually hates everything I recommend.

@uptoongirl - thank you - I was jist looking for a new read - am hoping it’s ok kindle

@Gammeldragz Snow Blind by P. J. Tracy?

I loved them and was so happy to come across a few earlier in the year in a Charity Shop.

I LOVED point horror as a teen. First one I read was freeze tag. Had so many but they got lost in a house move

I LOVED these books - we had a swaps group at school and would pass them back and forth between us.

I loved the babysitter books. Later watching Scream, it felt heavily influenced by them.

I was obsessed with them and still have almost 100 of them in the attic, including spin off’s. I can’t wait for dd to start but she’s only 8 so too young. I loved The Stranger and all the Babysitter ones

Omg I'd forgotten about these. I loved one called the bride i was terrified!!

I loved these books!! April Fools, Trick or Treat, Teachers Pet, The Boyfriend.

I'm hoping my parents still have these tucked away somewhere...

Was there other "point" series too??? Or have I made this up from my youth?

Am just wishing I could go to my parents to pick some up! Trick or Treat was my favourite.

Ooohhh yess! The lifeguard, trick or treat, call waiting, the boyfriend and beach party are the ones I can remember from the top of my head

I finished reading The Hitchhiker 2 days ago. Last week it was Fatal Secrets. I read them all the time, I got a huge collection for my 32nd birthday 😂

Ooh I read these but I don’t remember loving them as much as I loved Christopher Pike! Those were absolutely terrifying!

Yes! My favourites were Teacher's Pet, The Window and The Snowman.

@mcdog - there was also Point Crime. I had a couple of those but mostly PH as a teen.
