 Fear Hall is a special two-book mini arc that is part of the Fear Street series by R. L. Stine. It was released in 1997 in two parts, The Beginning and The Conclusion, within the main Fear Street series.Fifty miles from the (cursed) town of Shadyside there is Ivy State University, a pleasant little college with students from all over the country attending its classes. One dormitory on campus has added a rather dark twist to the school's history: Fear Hall. Named after Duncan Fear, a rich supporter of the college, Fear Hall is a thirteen story brick dormitory, rumored to be the site of numerous hauntings, murders, and disappearances. The school's bookstores even sell sweatshirts saying "I Survived Fear Hall."The story told here concerns Hope Mathis, her three roommates Angel, Eden, and Jasmine, and Hope's longtime boyfriend Darryl. They've been attending Ivy State and living in Fear Hall since the fall semester began, and Hope describes their small group like a family. Despite asserting that everyone is very close and happy together, Hope's expectations betray her when Darryl viciously murders a boy he thought Hope went out with. Only, it turns out it was Hope's roommate Angel, who borrowed Hope's clothes for the date. Oops.The Beginning focuses on Hope and her friends trying to hide Darryl from the police and their nosy neighbors. The stress of the event mucks up all their lives, especially as Darryl terrorizes Angel, Jasmine, and Eden to keep them quiet. Hope and Darryl show they won't listen to reason, because Hope refuses to let the girls turn Darryl in, and Darryl refuses to stop murdering people.The Conclusion follows Hope on the run because of Darryl's crimes, and Darryl sets his sights on killing Hope's neighbors the Three Ms (Mary, Margie, and Melanie) for bringing Hope to the police's attention. While trying to find a place to live, Hope assumes a new name and begins dating a boy named Chris in an effort to get rid of Darryl once and for all.Fear Hall is notable for switching perspective through numerous characters but mainly sticks to Hope as the center protagonist. The books also heavily rely on Walking Spoiler by the end of The Beginning.This series provides examples of:
