![]() A lot of fans were irritated by the unceremonious, trouble-filled way they were treated by Stine after the books that gave them the most focus. Butt-Monkey Pom-Pom Girl Phoebe Yamura, Deidre Palmer, and Always Someone Better Kenny Klein are among the more popular Seniors characters.Suki Thomas, seen in The Overnight and mentioned in a couple of other books, is very well liked due to being unlike most girls seen throughout the franchise, being a tough talking, punk goth girl with multiple piercings, spiky hair dyed platinum and for being a flirt without being a homewrecker, clingy or jealous and catty like many other girls could get.And she somehow manages to survive the whole series. Designated Hero: Trisha Conrad is a self-centered Alpha Bitch who is presented as a Lovable Alpha Bitch even though she cheats on her boyfriend with her best friend's boyfriend, and then engages in an elaborate prank against the latter for cheating on her, even though she herself has no problem dating boys that she knows other girls are going out with.Of course, since she's supposed to be obnoxiously mean instead of unfailingly pure, and Stine writes her accordingly (since that's the reason he likes her), it works and most fans who don't find her unlikeably mean and a complete Karma Houdini do Love to Hate her. Stine has said a few times that Reva Dalby of the ''Silent Night" books is something of a personal favorite since she's great fun to write. ![]() ![]() Creator's Pet: A surprising case of Tropes Are Tools.Bizarro Episode: The Bad Girl, along with being the only non- Ghosts of Fear Street story to veer into science fiction territory, has a just plain off-kilter tone, feeling like a bizarre dry comedy (especially the final confrontation with the villain) punctuated by the occasional bit of violence that is portrayed in an almost slapstick-like manner.Other than his dog pouncing on Cory once he serves no purpose except to be a Red Herring and is never given any name or backstory. Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In The New Girl Cory keeps meeting this guy out walking his dog in the middle of the night (which is pretty weird to start with) whenever he goes to Fear Street to try and visit Anna.Anti-Climax Boss: Honey Perkins is suddenly revealed to have been arrested off-page in The Best Friend 2, and is replaced as the Big Bad at the very last minute by Trish Walters.
