The Nightmare Room is a series of children's horror books written by R. L. Stine in the early 2000s. Much like Goosebumps, it is a horror Genre Anthology series featuring a different short story filled with young kids facing off against ghosts, monsters, and other supernatural beings. Unlike Goosebumps, the stories are much darker and the kid heroes don't always win in the end.It mostly pools from from The Twilight Zone (1959) with its title, and its storytelling style.It was adapted for television series in 2001 as part of the Kids' WB line-up. Sadly, the show only lasted for 13 episodes. | |

Darker and Edgier: The series follows in the steps of Goosebumps Series 2000 in being darker, from having more gore to a more somber and serious tone in books like The Howlwer and They Call Me Creature. | |

Adaptational Nice Guy | |
| The Nightmare Room / int_82a64c4b | comment |
Adaptational Nice Guy: Played with in Dear Diary, I'm Dead. In the book, Tasha was an Alpha Bitch who eventually became nicer near the end, but in the episode, she's friends with the group from the start and her teasing is generally more friendly, but becomes more of a jerk by the end. Maggie's friends in My Name is Evil had jerk tendencies, as noted below, but their TV equivalents are overall nicer. | |

Marlin in Fear Games was a cheerful guy and encouraged the others, while in the episode he's a Jerkass to everyone. | |

At first, it seems like "Scareful What You Wish For" is going to end with Dylan managing to have finally convinced Buddy that he had outgrown him, and that the doll needs to finally let him go. And then we learn that when Dylan got him for his sixth birthday, the magician hired for the party had cast a (as it turns out real) spell, making it so that Buddy would forever be Dylan's friend. And as it happens, Buddy can't let go. | |

"Eureka!" Moment: In "My Name is Evil", Morgan has been all but ostracized by the rest of the school, believing him to be evil. It's then that Kristen comes up to him, offering to make all of this go away in return for him doing whatever she asks of him. While discussing this, she puts on some of her perfume, which makes the rash on his arm flare up. It's then that he realizes that not only is the rash, which he had been led to believe was a mark of evil, just an allergic reaction to the perfume, but that Kristen was there every single time something had gone wrong. He was never the cause of any of the mishaps at all; she was. | |

Friend to All Living Things: Laura in They Call Me Creature loves animals and they generally love her back. This is why she's so put off when they start acting strangely thanks to the presence of the titular creature. | |

Team Member in the Adaptation: Sort of. Tessa does join the protagonists' band but only later on, while in the episode, she's in the band from the beginning. | |

Laser-Guided Amnesia | |
| The Nightmare Room / int_e7b0229a | comment |
Laser-Guided Amnesia: The house in Don't Forget Me! is an interesting example, as it effects other people rather than the people inside. It does cause Peter to start forgetting things but later it's more about how everyone else forgets about him, than later Danielle. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |

Earn Your Happy Ending: While the main characters and their friends and family make it out okay (for the most part), the problems they had are shifted to someone else. ("Don't Forget Me", "The Howler", "Tangled Web", "School Spirit", "Locker 13", "My Name is Evil") | |

Real After All | |
| The Nightmare Room / int_fb724048 | comment |
Real After All: Buddy from "Scareful What You Wish For" is naturally exposed as a real living doll and not a hallucination inside Dylan's mind. The witch from "Fear Games" was not a fictional legend like the other characters thought it was. In "Full Moon Halloween", there really was a werewolf terrorizing the city. | |

Never Trust a Title | |
| The Nightmare Room / int_fb7bc4a8 | comment |
Never Trust a Title: Based on the title of What Scares You The Most?, the 2nd book in the "Thrillogy", you'd think the protagonists would be forced to face their worst fears. That doesn't actually happen and is not what the book is about. | |

With Friends Like These... | |
| The Nightmare Room / int_fdbd6162 | comment |
With Friends Like These...: The Howler has Scott, who frequently mocks Spencer for his ghost obsession and wasn't even that much kinder before the events of the book. Maggie's three friends are a bit better than most examples but Jackie in particular has the tendency to be mean to Maggie and plays a few cruel pranks, such one as on Glen. It turns out he's evil and he was doing all the cruel things to the friends as revenge. | |
