Adaptation Expansion: Many authors have taken it to themselves to write adaptations of the illustrations. One of the more notable examples being Stephen King, who wrote a short story based on "The House on Maple Street" for Nightmares & Dreamscapes. | |

Mind Screw: Many of the images are this, as they usually show weird, surreal things that couldn't happen in real life. Why is a house blasting into space? Why is a book sprouting vines? How is that pumpkin glowing? | |

Nothing Is Scarier | |
| The Mysteries of Harris Burdick / int_cdfe12c3 | comment |
Nothing Is Scarier: Often. Quite a few of the pages allude to some unspecified danger or tragedy, and even Burdick's fate is hauntingly ambiguous. Actually a very handy tool for introducing the concept to budding horror enthusiasts. | |

No Ending: All that remains of each story is a single sentence. Done with the intention that the reader will write their own story based off it. | |
