Showdown at the Eastside Horror House! The Scouts battle their way to the epicenter of the zombie outbreak, but can they stop it before the town is lost forever? The fate of Full Moon Hollow rests in their hands.
I decided to review it expecting a kiddy bop version of the walking dead for my tweenage daughter to read because Walking Dead is kind of heavy at times. I got that and so much more, it's a solid read with good characters, a compelling and eerie story and some well-placed jump scares. The unmasking of the villain at the end turns out not to be an unmasking but, a way to add an extra layer to the story & propel it forward. There is no pandering, no coddling, lots of blood and gore and a great story. It's a good read no matter what your age is but, if you know a kid or tween that's all about the zombie apocalypse, you should direct them here. Ghoul Scouts serves up some Lost Boys, with a little Monster Squad and a dose of Walking Dead, sans all the rape and sex scenes. It's not a bubble gum fun romp through zombie land, it's a full-on brawl. I was entertained and found myself invested in our heroes journey. Read Full Review
I will admit the manor manages to be a stand out sight in this issue. With it looking more moss and vine then actual building it manages to amp the creep factor in superb manner. Even with that there's another much more subtle surprise that lays in the greenhouse. I won't spoil it but fans of certain mid 80's horror movie may notice it and it should put a smile on your face.
