Welcome to Dead House / R. L. Stine / 138 pages / November Challenge Zombies

Believe it or not...this is the first Goosebumps book I have ever read.  It was suspenseful and engaging, but I thought the ending a bit weak.  Josh and Amanda did not want to move, but when a great-uncle they never knew they had left them a free house in his will, their parents said they had to take it.  Dad wanted to be a writer.  A free house would enable him to do that.  Josh is stubborn and won't even enter the house when they go to see it.  Amanda sees a boy at the window.  After they move in, Amanda hears whispers, giggles, and sees children.  Out for a walk, Josh and Amanda meet and play with several kids who say they used to live in the same house.  While searching for their dog, Petey, in the cemetery, they discover that the kids and the real estate man are zombies and they are holding their parents prisonerer.  Do Josh and Amanda save their parents?  What about the zombies?
