Lindsay, however, has no idea what Jack’s doing. Jack is given a first hand demonstration of what the 13th floor’s capable of when he suddenly finds himself on a basketball court, gracefully making a slam dunk to the cheers of thousands of fans. To that end, Jack’s uncle created the 13th floor to keep the mirror twins out of trouble. Jack’s uncle was practicing a routine that involved Jack and Lindsay’s reflections doing the opposite of what the kids would do, but somehow the spell created two exact doubles of the kids. As they show Jack and Lindsay around the bare 13th floor, they explain they were created by a failed magic trick. The mirror twins explain they’re acquaintances of Jack’s uncle. Doppel!Jack and Lindsay welcome the original articles to the 13th floor, and the elevator doors close shut. Jack and Lindsay find themselves face to face with their mirror images, but what sets these doppelgangers apart are the malevolent looks in their eyes and their creepy grins. The doors open, and boy, Jack and Lindsay really ARE in for a surprise when they see who’s on the other side. Jack and Lindsay are confused because the 12th floor is supposed to be the last stop. Jack is looking forward to the tricks and surprises his uncle promised to show the two, but their journey takes an unexpected detour when the elevator stops on the 13th floor. The shop is located on the 12th floor of the building.

Jack and Lindsay are on their way to explore the magic shop run by Jack’s uncle. As a consultation prize, I will include a recap of a short story published in the November ’96 issue, “Made In Transylvania.” The magazine included three illustrations by Michael Graeney, but unfortunately due to the size and the spine of the magazine I wasn’t able to include all of them in the post out of fear of ruining my copy. I purchased the March ’97 issue for the sake of reading and recapping the completed story for Point Horror. The winner, Cheryl Hotchkiss, got a bunch of cool Goosebumps swag and their entry published in the March 1997 issue.

Contestants were to compose a 1200 word middle and ending for the story. In their November 1996 issue, they included the opening segment to a Goosebumps short story called “Surprise On The 13th Floor,” written by R.L. “Walt Disney’s Goosebumps” (Plus Bonus Story)Īnd now it’s time for something very special, possibly even rarer than “Goosebumps Haunted Library.”ĭisney Adventures magazine held a contest in the 1990s.
