From AudioFile
Audio drama is the ideal medium for spooky fun. "Lights Out," "Suspense," "The Whistler," "Inner Sanctum"--these were among the most popular dramatic programs on '40's radio. The mental exercise that audio gives to the imagination has more positive effects on kids than the mind-numbing boob tube. Perhaps that's why, when Disney rereleased some of its postwar kids albums on cassette a few years ago, they were sold out within weeks of hitting the shelves. In this instance, even merely serviceable performance does wonders for Stine's hack writing. Disney has pumped more energy than creativity into the slickly produced title. It's amiable, briskly paced and safe. Neither parents nor their offspring will find any unpleasant shocks here. When you give it to your kids, tell 'em to shut their eyes and give their minds a listen. Y.R. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

Customer Reviews

Unrealistic at best
On the whole, this book was about par for a Goosebumps book, but the ending was just completely unrealistic. Basically, some kids go on the tour of this theme park which is supposed to be scary like the movies it's based on, but things go awry and it looks like they die in the end. Then, dun dun dunnnn!!!!, it turns out they were robots, built by the creator of the park, to test it out. Now, it's one thing to build a robotic Werwolf, or zombie, that, during a brief, scripted encounter at a themepark, could seem realistic and scary. But these are robotic children. Robotic children who not only act completely autonomously, but are completely unaware that they are even robots. What sane man develops the technology to build perfect mechanical replicas of human beings, and then proceeds to build a theme park with them? Logic dictates that he either start duplicating real people, replace them with robots and manipulate the course of world events in his favor, cementing his eventual rule as an iron-fisted, tyrannical dictator whose every command is enforced by an unquestioning army of perfect killing machines, or that he start selling them as robotic slaves until eventually they rise up, kill us all and form a utopian robot society. Either of these storylines would have scared me much more.

A Shocker On Shock Street
A Shocker on Shock Street is full of suspense and sends chills down your back.It's characters are two kids who love scary movies. The cool thing is that it's setting is at Shocker Studio Theme Park. All the scary things turn real which is neat to me. They think it's fake until they bump into living, scary creatures. The book is vivid on it's words. This book makes think your watching the terror unfold right before your very own eyes. You will find the end kind of funny because you find out the two main characters are robots. They were just apart of the theme park. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes scary tales. Both adult and child.

What Rubbish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What utter Rott!Erin and Marty love horror films their favourites being the Shock Street films In the end Erin and Marty are being chased and they go out of control the reason is they were flippin' robots. How could R.L. Stine write so badly,his other Goosebumps are at least 100 times better than this one {I should know as i have read virtually all of them!} Do not read!
