Even though Spook Night was published in 1995, it appears to be a product of the 1980s. Remember the time when Stephen King films and Nightmare on Elm Street were all the rage? This book even features the whole frigging cast of Critters.
What we have here is a reimagining of sorts of Washington Irving's Sleepy Hollow mythos. In fact, the town where this story takes place is called Spook’s Hollow, every bit as unimaginative as the book’s title.
I don’t want to spend too much time on a review, because frankly, it probably isn’t worth it. It’s not like this book is on your radar and you’ve just been waiting for one more reason to buy it. This is some fairly obscure fare. I could mention, at this point, that almost all the women in this story are depicted as utter and total harpies (why don’t they get eaten already?) or that the baddie is as cheesy as they come (something that another reviewer has already gotten off their chest) or that the scares are rudimentary at best. I could, but I probably won’t (eh?), because this book has least one thing going for it… it reads superfast (if you put your mind to it you can finish it in one sitting).
I don’t know, but I’m guessing that this may have been written with a younger audience in mind. Would I recommend that you rush out and buy it as soon as you’ve finished reading this review? Hell no. But if, like me, you picked this up cheaply at a second hand book store and it’s just been lying around, you might as well read it and be done with it. It will give your eyes a good workout from all the rolling and [insert sarcasm here] you will get to read at least one super-kewl tween-love sequence.
Seriously though, it wasn’t as bad as I expected, and the cover is quite funky in a bad 80s cinema kind of way => 2.5 stars

Entertaining, but definitely not one of Robbins' better horror novels. Meet the Grant family. The Grants recently relocated from Philly to the small town of Spook Hollow, about 10 miles from Gettysburg, PA. The father, John, hoped the move would bring his family back together, but at the start of the novel, it seems just the opposite. The two kids, our lead Kip, a young teenager, and his sister Sherry, always seem to be at each other's throats. John's wife Laurie is just about ready to call a lawyer to end the marriage. Domestic bliss this is not!
The story starts a few weeks before Halloween. Kip's best bud Tommy Lee hails originally from Virginia, a country boy good and proper, and lives just a few houses down from the Grants. Also on the lonely road lives Amy, who Kip has a monster crush on. One day while they are farting around after school, Tommy Lee mentioned the 'Spook' that haunts the town. Apparently around Halloween the headless horseman roams, and sometimes people die. Kip thinks he is full of it, but that will shortly change...
Spook Night reads like a schlocky 80s horror film, even though it was first published in 1995. The best part I thought concerned the family dynamics of the Grants, who, faced with the horrors of the spook, pull together for the first time in a long time. The rest of the characters are paper thin and cliched, but enough to move the plot. Finally, the denouement left me non-plussed to say the least. 2.5 pulpy stars, rounding up for the spooky season.

John Grant moves his family from Philadelphia to a small, rural town named Spook Hollow in hopes of saving his marriage. His wife, Laurie and daughter, Sheryl hate the new house - only his son, Kip is on his side these days.
But their new home is very old, and is rumored to be haunted; the previous owners' pets and wife were brutally murdered. There is also a local legend called "The Spook," a spectral goblin on horseback who appears each year around Halloween.
"Reports of the Headless Horror date back to 1870 or so. He always appears at about this time of year, but there's no other set pattern. Sometimes he's sighted 2 or 3 years in a row. Then he might not show up for another 10 or 12."
"And what does this Headless Horror do? Pop out of nowhere and scare people half to death?"
"No. He rips off heads."
When the Grants call in a locksmith for their old springhouse, things get even worse - for they have released something that has been dying to get out for a long time.
Afterwards, the Grant family find themselves being tormented by The Spook, who not only terrifies them, but attacks them physically numerous times. However, the family vows to stay and fight The Spook, refusing to be driven out of their own home, like the previous residents. John and Laurie begin researching at the library, looking for any clue they can find to help them defeat this entity once and for all.
----------------------
Due to my crazy hours at my new job, this is my first official Halloween themed book this month - so at least I got one in and it was a good one. I really liked this book; it was fun and entertaining. A very quick and easy read. It was definitely creepy - especially picturing the springhouse and the barn; there's also a floating goblin head with razor sharp teeth, which is scary as hell.
🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃 It gets 5 pumpkins.

This hard-to-track-down 90's horror effort comes from author David Robbins who also did Hell-O-Ween, another Halloween-themed book I'll be checking out soon. The story follows a family who moves from Philadelphia to a small town named Spook Hollow, and they soon learn that the spooky Headless Horror turns out to be more than just an urban legend. This has lots of 90's-esque plot elements (a failing marriage, kids falling in love for the first time, a demonic creature, etc.) and was super entertaining in the first half. However, there isn't a huge build-up of suspense and nothing to keep the reader on the edge of his or her seat. If you're looking for something fun to read this Halloween season, there are certainly worse options, but unless you're a huge horror fan, this probably isn't worth tracking down. 3/5 is the best rating I can give, because 2 seems too low but 4 would be giving this way too much credit.

"Damned if you die--damned if you don't!" Despite the stupid tagline, this is actually a hell of a good book for your paperback collection and a Spooktober marathon.
This is the second David Robbins novel I've read, and so far, I've been impressed. "Spook Night" came late in the horror paperback craze that peaked in the 80s, but nonetheless it is classic Leisure horror at its peak.
Taking place just before Halloween, the story concerns a family from Pittsburgh that moves to a small borough brimming with supernatural atmosphere. The name of the town is, after all, Spook Hollow. To make things worse, they move into an old historic farmhouse noted to be the center of centuries of Indian legends of evil spirits and tales of murderous ghosts. But midlife crisis John, his bitchy shrew of a wife Laurie, and their two teenage kids don't have time for all that hillbilly nonsense, and have their own problems simply trying to adapt to life away from the big city. But when Laurie hires a locksmith to open up an old spring house in their backyard, all hell literally breaks loose.
If the name of Spook Hollow sounds derivative, so will the resident boogeyman, the Headless Horror of Spook Hollow, who rides on a beast of a stallion lopping off the heads of local yokels. If you have ever seen the Tim Burton film "Sleepy Hollow," you'll know that it had little in common with the original story by Washington Irving. Yet, if anything, the movie seems to have taken a page right out of this book instead.
However, "Spook Night" is a bit more than a gory and modern spin off of a classic horror story. This book serves as a psychological portrait of rural folklore as a whole, and does a remarkably great job of capturing the feelings of mystery, awe, and terror that surrounds such legends. If you've ever thrilled at the rustling of leaves and the shadows of the dark woods while you've been camping, you'll love this book.
Robbins is not high literature, but there is a sophistication behind his journeyman prose that makes his books not only easy reads, but quick ones. You never want to put one of his books down.
I was also invested in the characters for the most part. Even when they start off as nasty people, like John's wife and daughter, they have their reasons and redeeming qualities, making them well-rounded as a whole, and everyone has an arc. For example, Laurie has contempt for her dopey husband, but deep down still loves him. And sometimes I could understand her frustration. In one absolutely unbelievable scene, John calls a family meeting to debrief on the fact that they all almost got murdered by a headless horseman. Laurie says that they should all pack up and get the hell out of looneyville. But the kids both just got asked to the Halloween dance by their dream dates, so they don't want to miss it. So John votes they all stay. I'm surprised Laurie didn't have ALL of their heads for such stupidity. But the point was to show that this is a family that is trying to work together, a family as loving as they are dysfunctional.
Don't worry, this book sure does have its share of knucklehead moments that are sure to make you want to scream at the pages. The family dog, for instance, that they keep calling a "dumb cowardly mutt," is smarter than them all. He spends the whole story growling and howling at them as a warning that something wicked this way comes, and sure enough, he's always vindicated. But do they learn? Oh, hell no. After like the eleventh instance of the dog growling into the night sky, some dippy human is always saying something like:
"What is it, boy? Are you hungry? What on earth could be bothering you? You sure have been acting strangle lately!"
Or maybe it's the headless horseman, you ass!
But overall, this is a really fun, well-crafted, and spine-tingling tale with which to spend a few nights as Halloween approaches. Four solid stars.
As an aside, many years ago, my wife and I purchased a dirt cheap bed-and-breakfast mansion from 1885 that was rumored to be haunted in a neighborhood called "Witch's Hump." We initially were as thrilled as teenagers set loose in an amusement park. But just like in this book, the experience turned out to be more horrific than romantic. Someday I might tell that story. But what about you? Would you want to move to a place with a creepy name like Spook Hollow? Or have you, in fact, ever lived on bonafide haunted grounds? Let me know in the comments below.

This is a great halloween story and puts you right in the mood of the season. It is simplistic in its prose and not overly scary however who wouldnt love spending some time in a small town called "Spook Hollow" with a demented headless ghost on a horse who has been terrorising the residents of the town since the civil war.
This really feels like a goosebump book in ways just a bit more violent and with some teen sex thrown in. The chapters end on something terrible about to happen just like the goosebump books did. Its a fun read with an awesome cover but dont go into it expecting top level horror material and you will enjoy it like I did.

He didn't write a bunch of horror books, but what he did write were great. This time around it's a retelling of "The Headless Horseman" only updated to the 90's.
A man moves his family to the country from the big city to try to save his marriage. He seems to have moved into a farmhouse has been the scene of some horrific murders. His kids run afoul of the Horseman on a few occasions. There's even a crazy old lady who knows the history of the killer, but everyone thinks she's just nuts. Really good novel.

The Grants move from the big city to a farm in a town called Spook Hollow. Not long after they move in they discover strange sounds coming from an old locked up springhouse on the property. When they're unable to open it up to look inside they call over a locksmith who manages to get the old lock opened. That's when things start to get spooky. There's no huge surprises here, the writing was ok and the cheese factor was high but this was a fun, easy read for October and I enjoyed it a lot. I give it a solid 3 1/2 stars just because it was so much fun.

This was my third Halloween themed book for the month of October, and it was a totally fun read! I just finished it today so it's helping me drag my Halloween celebrating out just a little bit longer.
I think this came out in the mid-90s, but to me it has an 80s horror fiction feel. Maybe it was released long after it was written? Anyway, it has many of the tropes that we're now all very familiar with. To me, however, this was a comfort and did not hinder the story, which was also very familiar. There was a certain innocent charm here that I haven't experienced in a while, plus, there's some super cool decapitation scenes. I totally dug it.

A good, but not great spook-filled Halloween story involving a headless horseman who occasionally haunts and murders the good folk of Spook Hollow, PA. The book follows the four members of the dysfunctional Grant family. New to the community, the Grant family is here because they left the hustle and bustle of Philadelphia and moved to Spook Hollow to attempt to reconnect as a family - especially husband, John and his wife, Laurie, who seem to be heading down the dark road to divorce.
Teenager Kip Grant and his older sister, Shery, aren't too happy about the move until they each meet a member of the opposite sex to whom they become attracted.
When things literally start to go bump in the night, the family begins to question the old folktale about the horseman searching for his head. Suddenly, even stranger things start happening, including the murders of a couple of townsfolk.
Author David Robbins has just enough scares and horrific scenes to keep this book moving forward. Certainly, there is a tremendous amount of suspension of disbelief needed to enjoy this book, but if you can do that, then you'll find this an enjoyable Halloween read.

Silly well-paced schlocky horror. I enjoyed it quite a bit for exactly what it was; the book equivalent of an above average B movie.

I was so excited to read this. I love the paperbacks from the 80s and 90s with their great covers and their gory/spooky stories. This one disappointed so hard. The back of the book promised one thing but the story was something completely different. A pinch of Sleepy Hollow (a headless horse rider - yup- how original smh)mixed with some spookyness and blood. The story starts out pretty good but then resorts into a cliche and is basically the re-telling of Sleepy Hollow but in modern times with a boring and predictable ending. Also, the cover is quite misleading too.
A family of four from the big city moves to a small town. Something dark is haunting them and killing people. The family has to stick together to fight the terror that comes upon them.

The Grants move from Philadelphia to a remote village named Spook Night. When the door of the Springhouse is opened the horror begins. We talk about a headless horseman here. Where does this spook come from? What is his mission? Will the Grants survive or do they leave this hicksville town taking their fears with them? The great cover didn't disappoint. The author came up with a fine Halloween horror tale that can also be read different times of the season. The characters are well drawn (okay a bit cliche, sure), the uncanny elements are good and it was a quick and entertaining read. Blast from the past and good starter for the Halloween season. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed all the other horror novels I have read by David Robbins. This one, while not terrible, wasn't good either. With his other horror novels, sometimes they are a little "meh" at first, but then at some point, usually around the 70 to 100 page mark, they take off and are wild, entertaining thrill rides. This one kind of just stayed in the "meh" stage straight through until the end. That cover is amazing and ridiculous, though!

I enjoyed it thoroughly. It was really just a cheesy horror story, but it was fun to read and kept me entertained enough. Like a B horror film, it's not the sort of thing I'd quickly recommend, but if you're into the style and genre, it works. I liked the sudden and intense gore, and appreciated the detail.

David Robbins must really like Sleepy Hollow. Here he has made his own headless horseman (er, Headless Horror for copyright issues) in a rural town. Like my first Robbins book read, Hell-O-Ween, not a whole lot happens in this book, but this time it wasn't so irritating because I found the families drama interesting enough.
Nothing groundbreaking here, but a perfectly functional read.

Good book. I don't think get over the fact Linda never once apologized for nor did she acknowledge the evil she did to her husband, though. She admitted it to herself but, she never asked for her husband's forgiveness. So common among female characters (both real life and fictional). As long as they feel good, they don't need to take accountability before the men they wrong.

This was better than expected
A headless horseman looking for his missing head and taking other people’s until he does.
Throw in a floating red eyed demon head and links to the good old south and you can’t go wrong.

First half of the book or so was good, but after that i started to realize that it was going to end horribly. Not enough headless horseman action and too much cheesy flying head that kills people... I would only expect that from a crap 80's movie such as zombie 3. I skimmed the last 50 pages just to end it and damn what a lame ending that was no closure at all. Ive seen goosebumps books have more closure than this. Literally the second to last page the headless horseman gets his head back and the mom is like is it over and the husband says yes and the book ends.... What kind of way to end ANYTHING is that!? All this coming from a guy who likes cheesy horror too but this was too much, oh and by the way this book has nothing to do with halloween despite what the advertisement says. You want halloween horror go read Al Sarrantonio he's the best at it.

More suited to teens than adults. Couple of inconsistent that are quite glaring which spoiled it for me. Lots of grammatical errors too. The plot is, like another reviewer mentioned, a rip off of the Headless Horsemen of Sleepy Hollow. It was quite easy to figure out who the Horror was and why it went on its murderous rampage, even for a non-American with no knowledge of American history. The characters are also shallow and unimaginative. But it read real fast and was bought cheaply at a second hand book store. Not much harm done.
