Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Mostly Ghostly is a series of middle grade horror/comedy books by R. L. Stine. Lasting from 2004 to 2006, They center around Max Doyle who discovers that his house used to be home to two kids named Nicky and Tara Roland. Their ghosts appear one day, with no memory of how they died or where their parents went. Now Max must help them out while fighting various evil ghosts and other supernatural forces.It consists of the following books: Who Let the Ghosts Out? Have You Meet My Ghoulfriend? One Night in Doom House Little Camp of Horrors Ghouls Gone Wild Let's Get This Party Haunted! Freaks and Shrieks Don't Close Your Eyes!The first book was adapted to film in 2008, which lead to a sequel six years later. The third film was released two years after that, with no sign of a follow up as of this writing. The series is notable in that is one of the few R.L. Stine series to follow one specific group of characters instead of being an anthology, and it has a Myth Arc involving trying to find Nicky and Tara's parents and possibly bringing them back to life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Aborted Arc: While the books were able to resolve the arc with Nicky and Tara's parents, the thread of them finding a way to come back to life is left hanging. The films weren't fully able to resolve the main arc by the end of the third film, and it's unlikely a fourth will be made.

Actor Allusion: The first film wasn't the first time that David Deluise played a dad with a son named Max who does magic.

Adaptation Amalgamation: The third film takes the "Max possibly moving away" subplot from the Ghouls Gone Wild book.

Adaptational Dumbass: While Traci in the books wasn't a genius, the film has her as a bit more of an airhead.
