These books used to scare the patootie out of me when I was a kid, but the books are more famous for their illustrations rather than the stories themselves. Yes, these are the kind of books I used to read as a child which contained illustrations such as:

And these books were for CHILDREN! CHILDREN for crying out loud! No wonder I'm so messed up today.

Ooh! I do! I have a big collection of them right now, I think. The illustrations... good god, the illustrations!

[FryRulz]

Gotta love the children books we had back in our day lol

[JetGirl]

[frys_red_jacket]

oh good god!! i never heard of them, i used to read point horrors as a kid (infact still do) and thought they were pretty scary for children

[FryRulz]

I remember Are you afraid of the dark? That was a epic show.

those look awesome! i'd never seen those and i used to read scary story books as a kid too. rats i missed out!

You can buy the whole set on Amazon for $5.99 used or $12.22 new. I would seriously buy them just for the pictures.

[Fruitosaurus]

Scary, but actually pretty fooking awesome.

It's funny how these are supposed to be for kids, eh? :D

[I Hate Bottles]

That's one of the many reasons why being a kid in the 90's was so awesome.

I don't think those would fly today. Lawsuits would be coming out the wazoo because parents would flip out and say that their child was emotionally and irreparably damaged because of those pictures. I need millions of dollars to soothe my child's suffering!




























And I'll probably spend it on a couple new Escalades.

[FryRulz]

How is it now children get emotionally damaged, but back when we was kids we was alright?

[I Hate Bottles]

Because people and parents today are morons. Instead of getting rich through hard work they decide to get rich the easy way and sue people for anything, especially in this country.

[FryRulz]

Its bloody stupid. I know for one me and Becky arnt going to be that way.

[I Hate Bottles]

I didn't mean that all parents are morons, just the seemingly over-protective sue-happy ones. lol

Nice! thanks i'll have to look into that. whole collection for under $20 isn't bad at all

[Green Man]

have you guys even read these books?

lame

[frys_red_jacket]

just cos one person doesnt like them doesnt mean nobody else will

[Green Man]

no, i meant that beside maybe the pictures these books are not scary at all

[Fruitosaurus]

Well, yeah, but the illustrations are damn scary.

[I Hate Bottles]

But the fact is that these books were for children. When you're a child reading a story about a killer scarecrow who skins someone alive, it's pretty damn scary.

[SuicideBooth]

Whoa, I love those illustrations! lol

[neverthrive]

I LOVED THIS BOOKS WHEN I WAS LITTLE! I remember quite a few of them, and yeah, back then the were fuggin' terrifying. I used to own the first to, but I can't find them any more :(
