Haunted House Hardcover – August 9, 2005

Revisit — if you dare! — one of the best-loved pop-up books of all time, now more gleefully ghoulish then ever with the addition of several spooky surprises.

Come in, Doctor. Yes, it is a quaint old place-chilly, though. . . .

The owner of the Haunted House is unwell, and it's not surprising. There's a ghoul in the cupboard, an octopus in the sink, a crocodile in the bath, and in every room, a sinister black cat watching it all with roving eyes. Every page of this thrilling pop-up book is packed with spine-tingling surprises, culminating in a spectacular final spread complete with a creepy creaking saw.

Since 1979, hundreds of thousands of readers have taken this scared-silly tour of one of the best-selling pop-up books of all time. This is one Haunted House that remains as innovative and exciting today as it was twenty-six years ago-but now offers even more tantalizing twists:

— Stunning new holographic foil cover!
— Scary new surprises, announced on front cover with a removable sticker! Brand-new elements have been added to four spreads, including a ghost in the closet, a cockroach in the oven, and vampire teeth in the nightstand!
— Great new price! This perfect Halloween and year-round treat is available for only $14.99.

This is a great pop up book with typically amazing Jan P. artistry. Lots of creepy pop ups and moveable parts.
I purchased it used in GOOD condition but it was just like new. I couldn't be happier.

I ordered this book to replace the same book that my mother sent to my daughter. Now my fourth grandchild continues to love this book, over the years it has had some of the pop ups ripped. Now she can fully enjoy the book!

I loved this book as a kid, felt the sentimental bug to get it for my kids to experience. They have enjoyed it too!! It is fragile (paper & moving parts) not for little hands to have unmonitored free range.

I loved this book as a child and my kids love this book, as well. So much in fact this is the second copy I have purchased for them in the last 5 years due to wear and tear on their first copy. Cute, mysterious and perfectly creepy for kids I would definitely recommend this pop-up book.

The media could not be loaded.
 Unfortunately the book got banged up. It was shipped in just a paper mailer and the corners are bent. I’d request a new one but I’m not confident it would be any better. Other than that I love the book.

I was thrilled to receive these books for my grandsons. My kids had this book when they were young and it’s still going strong, although a little tattered from all of the use. Happy to introduce another generation to this quality pop up book.
