Give Yourself Goosebumps Special Edition #4: One Night in Payne House (R.L. Stine)

It's been awhile since I've done one of these, which is weird because they're so easy to read. The book starts out with the reader and his/her best friend Trevor standing outside a haunted house called Payne House, which was also once the set of a popular horror movie.
