Werewolf Skin

R.L. Stine is known for his creepy stories, but I'm curious whether he drew from real folklore or just his vivid imagination. Did any particular legend influence these tales?

Some stories had me feeling nervous for the characters' safety while also understanding their struggles. Am I the only one who felt emotionally invested in their fates?

There’s a fine line between spooky and too scary for kids — I wonder how much of that was intentional or left to the reader's interpretation.
