Graveyard School is a 28 book series of children's horror novels written by Nola Thacker under the pen name Tom B. Stone, released from 1994 to 1998.One of many kids' horror series published in the wake of the growing popularity of the Goosebumps books, the Graveyard School series actually subverted some of the more common elements found in Goosebumps.The series takes place in the small town of Grove Hill, where sixth graders deal with daily horrors out of Grove Hill Elementary School, not-so-affectionately dubbed Graveyard School due to the abandoned graveyard located right behind the school. Only the kids seem aware of the nightmarish effects the graveyard and the school seems to have on the town, while their parents and older siblings are either blissfully unaware or in denial.The school's staff includes the intimidating Dr. Morthouse, school principal and purported to have a silver fang in her mouth which the students can only catch glimpses of. There is also the overly saccharine Vice Principal Mr. Hannibal Lucre, the perpetually growling secretary Mr. Kinderbane, and the mysterious and elusive custodian Mr. Bartholomew, a.k.a. Basement Bart, alongside a rotating cast of teachers, some weird, some normal, and some evil.Unlike the Goosebumps books, the series focuses on one main cast of characters starting from Don't Eat The Mystery Meat! and does include transfer students moving to Grove Hill as the school year progresses. Likewise, these characters fluctuate from main to supporting to background character from book to book, and there is no specific star of the series. A definitive trait shared by these kids is that, while they may have some annoying younger or older siblings and may deal with bullies from time to time, none of them reach the levels of Straw Loser and Butt-Monkey as the protagonists of the Goosebumps books do.A definitive answer is never given to what the actual cause of the Graveyard School hauntings are, nor is there a given background on the school principal and whether she is the cause of the horror or a by-product of it.Recaps of the books' storylines can be found there; the books themselves can be borrowed at Internet Archive.The series consists of: #1: Don’t Eat The Mystery Meat! #2: The Skeleton on the Skateboard #3: The Headless Bicycle Rider #4: Little Pet Werewolf #5: Revenge of the Dinosaurs #6: Camp Dracula #7: Slime Lake #8: Let’s Scare The Teacher To Death #9: The Abominable Snow Monster #10: There’s A Ghost In The Boy’s Bathroom #11: April Ghouls Day #12: Scream, Team! #13: Tales Too Scary To Tell At Camp #14: The Tragic School Bus #15: The Fright Before Christmas #16: Don’t Tell Mummy #17: Jack and the Beanstalker #18: The Dead Sox #19: The Gator Ate Her #20: Creature Teacher #21: The Skeleton’s Revenge #22: Boo Year’s Eve #23: The Easter Egg Haunt #24: Scream Around The Campfire #25: Escape From Vampire Park #26: Little School Of Horrors #27: Here Comes Santa Claws #28: The Spider Beside Her

The Bully
 Graveyard School / int_1b60dcba
comment
The Bully: Jason Dunbarr is Graveyard School's resident bully, though after The Headless Bicycle Rider he deflates to a typical asshole. Eddie Hoover's got it out for Skate McGraw and Vickie Wheilson, to the point he once pushed Vickie into the path of several small kids when she was trying to out-race him. After Skate saves Eddie from Ben Marrow, he stops antagonizing Skate and Vickie but still picks on other kids. Jean Paul and Larry, the veteran campers from Scream Around The Campfire enjoy harassing poor newcomer Garth every chance they get. Alex is vocally disgusted by them and frequently makes snide comments about their petty behavior to their faces before telling Garth to stick with him. Tellingly, Jean Paul and Larry never really retaliate against Alex even though he's roughly their size, except for the hook prank near the end.

Mall Santa
 Graveyard School / int_23c68854
comment
Mall Santa: The Fright Before Christmas had Christopher Hampton's little sister being pushed while on the lap of a mall Santa, causing her to accidentally punch him so hard he falls through the store's display and gets knocked out. This caused the rest of the kids to freak out because they think "Santa's been killed." Christopher's classmates start giving him grief over this, assuming, because they know how much he hates Christmas, that he got one of his sisters to attack Santa Claus on purpose.

The ending reveals Kyle had been right about Aunt Mab from the start, and that she already planned to terrify him with Natasha and their rat compatriots before she even met him. Kyle's pranks just gave her more incentive to get creative.

Humans Are Bastards: The real villains of Escape from Vampire Park are park owner Fang Gore and his assistant, Mary. Fang kidnapped and has been holding hostage a vampire who was just minding his own business and uses him in his carnival attraction. While Mary stitched together and created an entire person all for the sake of running a different attraction. It's hard not to see that Nathan and Jordie freeing the vampire and monster was the best thing they could've done given how loathsome their captors are.

comment
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Alex Lee starts out as someone not particularly brave or willing to get involved in matters of bullying, but when push comes to shove he always ends up doing the right thing. In There's a Ghost in the Boy's Bathroom he was content to stay as far away from the haunted bathroom as possible and let someone else handle it until he found out the ghost went after a small child, and in Scream Around The Campfire he tells his naive bunkmate Garth to stick by him when Garth is being bullied (even though Alex doesn't think that much of him). Bentley Jeste spent most of his debut appearance in Let's Scare the Teacher to Death being an asshole with the way he was pranking Nervous Wreck Ms. Cheevy. Come Creature Teacher Bent's softened up enough he successfully recognizes Ms. King's been replaced with an evil impostor and works to rescue her.

Green Aesop
 Graveyard School / int_56b53152
comment
Green Aesop: Here and there. Some of the books offer brief tracts against rampant commercialism and environmental destruction. That they aren't shoved down the throats of the readers means they work better than some attempts at the Green Aesop trope are. In Slime Lake Mr. Quayle expresses contempt at those who protest his plans to dredge Slime Lake and turn the area into a commercial resort by wrecking the local wildlife. The kids, especially Stacey Carter (but not Polly Hannah), are disgusted by this. In The Fright Before Christmas, Christopher is shown a Bad Future where he became a politician whose greed managed to destroy most of America's forests and air.

Fantastic Racism: Explored in Little School of Horrors concerning humans and monsters. The monster kids in Mrs. Storch's class tend to avoid human kids. Some, like Eduardo the vampire, are contemptuous of humans, while others just don't feel comfortable around humans because they have to lie about who they are. They don't actually have a problem with having Tim in their class, and some find Eduardo's contempt to be annoying.

Kids Are Cruel
 Graveyard School / int_63389b0b
comment
Kids Are Cruel: Subverted. There are some bullies at Grove Hill, and while the kids might tease each other once in a while, they're never cruel or malicious about it. In fact, whenever someone is acting really mean and vicious, it's sign that something is very wrong. The two kids who come the closest to this are Jason Dunbarr and Bentley Jeste in their earlier appearances. Not even Polly Hannah was as bad as them. A younger example would have to be Christopher Hampton's little sisters, Lara and Kelli, from the way they manhandled that poor Mall Santa.

Straw Character: Usually if an opinion is meant to be presented as wrong, Polly Hannah's the one used to express it. In The Fright Before Christmas, Polly parrots her mother's complaints about A Christmas Carol such as how Charles Dickens' isn't even an American writer, to which Mr. Melon retorts by saying Dickens' abilities as an author transcend nationalities. Which basically translates to him telling her to shut her mouth.

Remember the New Guy?: Justified. There are three new students who join the sixth grade, and when a character is mentioned for the first time it's still justified since the books wouldn't focus on every single student in Grove Hill.

Our Vampires Are Different: The nameless vampire in Escape from Vampire Park mentions the differences among vampire clans. Some can ingest garlic, some can withstand sunlight to certain degrees, and some hold no fear of mirrors. This is backed up by Camp Dracula, where the campers can survive in sunlight with heavy duty sunscreen (but still get sunburned), and have no problem eating garlic (except Martin, who just doesn't like the taste and is teased for it.

Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: When Christopher Hampton agrees with Stacey Carter that the idea of a Secret Santa gift exchange is a waste of money, Stacey suddenly feels uncomfortable and assumes that she's starting to hate Christmas just like him. Stacey then reassures herself that she does like Christmas and participates in the gift exchange.

Secret Santa
 Graveyard School / int_aabe3e78
comment
Secret Santa: The Fright Before Christmas opens with Mr. Melon announcing the class will be doing a Secret Santa exchange (which he also refers to as "Holiday Elves" for those who don't celebrate Christmas). Skate mentions there are other kids who aren't doing the Secret Santa, but Christopher Hampton stands out because of his petulant attitude ruining everyone else's fun. Shockingly, Stacey receives a really thoughtful gift of shoelaces with bulldog designs on them from none other than Polly Hannah, while Park got Mr. Melon, and gave him a baseball "autographed" by Santa and his reindeer.

Foul Cafeteria Food: The Graveyard School cafeteria leaves much to be desired on a good day. The only person who enjoys eating the food served for lunch is Jaws, although the nastiness of the meals tends to vary from book to book. The worst offered is ostensibly Ms. Stoker's cooking in the first book, which is understandable since she's serving stolen pets, such as a poodle, goldfish, ants, and an anaconda.

 Graveyard School / int_bd8aa92a
comment
Negative Continuity: Here and there. It can be difficult to discern a timeline of events depending on when past incidents get referenced. This is especially disconcerting in the summer-themed books. Since Grove Hill School ends at 6th Grade, naturally the books taking place over the summer should mention the kids are now free from Graveyard School. Instead, the narration usually mentions they won't have to go back to that school until the summer ends... despite references to what the kids endured in the 6th Grade (Alex and the ghost in the bathroom, Algie and the headless bicycle rider). In The Gator Ate Her, Algie is spending the summer with his relatives in Florida, even though he'd spent an entire summer season playing little league baseball in The Dead Sox.

Guile Heroine: Terri Foster knows exactly how to get people to answer her questions, by being sweet and pleasant and asking them politely. Her brother Marc never understands why she acts so nice to even the worst people around them when it's clear she's got them eating out of her hands.

Satellite Character: Some characters tend to only be really prominent in one book depending on the main character. Maria Medina's this to Stacey Carter, and Vickie Wheilson's this to her cousin Skate.

Naïve Newcomer: Garth in Scream Around The Campfire can't understand why he's being picked on by his bunkmates, leading Alex to realize, despite how big and clumsy Garth is, he's somehow never been bullied a day in his life. It's because Garth is weird by human standards, but normal by Bigfoot ones.

Evil Twin

comment
Evil Twin: Marc Foster is still trying to figure out if he or his sister Terri is the evil twin. The plot of the story Twins involves brothers who were separated when they were very little, with one of them being spoiled mercilessly by his wicked parents and becoming a horrible tyrant when he grew up.

Non-Malicious Monster
 Graveyard School / int_fd1b902c
comment
Non-Malicious Monster: The kids in Mrs. Storch's class (except for Tim) may be young monsters, but they don't actively terrorize anyone and most of them grew up hearing horror stories about humans the same way human kids grew up hearing stories about monsters. Also, they make it very clear that whatever is wrong with the school they are not a part of it, and they're also scared by some of the teachers and the principal. Also, Morton is a living mummy. There are a few other examples of benign monsters. This includes Kirstin the Headless Bicycle Rider, Skip Wolfson's family who are benevolent werewolves, and Emmie the Slime Lake monster.

Pet the Dog: In The Fright Before Christmas, Stacey Carter is given shoelaces with little bull dog designs on them as apparently someone remembered how deeply she loves her dog Morris. It turns out her Secret Santa was none other than Polly Hannah. Stacey is left almost speechless.
