Halloween: traditionally the night when extra-dimensional lizard people roam the earth, sucking brains. They are also allergic to water, so it's basically SIGNS with more brain sucking.

After 9 years away, Ben Shields comes home to Cemetery Ridge, a once prosperous mining community, now nearly a ghost town. On his way in, Ben sees a funeral procession, escorted by an old friend, Travis Sinclair, now the chief of police. Ben stops to stretch his legs and catch up with Travis, who tells Ben it's Horace they're burying - another close friend of theirs from back in the day.
Travis tells Ben the official cause of death was a bear attack, but there's something off about the whole thing. The best tracking dogs around refused to set foot in the woods after this "bear." Unknown to anyone but Travis, Horace is the third victim in a string of bizarre attacks. And last but not least, the local doctor ran a full panel of labs on Horace, finding not one trace of protein in his blood - something essential to life.
Local poacher and the best hunter/tracker in town, Fred Larkin, sets his sights on this "bear," hoping to bag it and make a nice profit. When he gets to the woods where Horace was killed, he finds tracks he's never seen before in his life. They certainly aren't bear tracks; there are three toes with claw marks like those of a dinosaur. By the size and spacing, Fred estimates the creature to be 9 ft tall and weighing approximately 1,000 lbs, walking on two legs. Fred is freaked out, but incredibly excited - for it's not often he gets challenged on a hunt. However, what Fred comes face to face with in the woods that day is not what he was expecting. It's not even of this world. He can hear its voice inside his head, speaking of a "feast," and a blinding white light it emits that paralyzes him. It's only by miracle alone that Fred makes it out of the woods alive that day.
As more and more horrible deaths plague the citizens of Cemetery Ridge, it becomes obvious to everyone this is no bear. Ben becomes determined to find out the truth about this mystery creature before he goes back home, and starts to rely on his old girlfriend, Nadine. At the library, they discover a newspaper from October 30 + 31st, 73 years prior, stating people in town were being slain by something citizens started calling the "Brain Eater," found dead in the same manner as those that died recently - with holes bored into the center of their foreheads. Ben is confused, but sees a pattern between past and present day, that the killings are taking place on or around Halloween - which is coming up very soon, and they all seem to center around the cemetery.
Will Ben, Nadine, Travis and Fred be able to solve the decades old mystery of the Brain Eater before it kills even more people this Halloween?
----------------SPOILERS PAST THIS POINT-----------------
So, I love everything I read from David Robbins. His books are always quick, easy and fun reads. But this book drove me nuts at the end cause I got no answers. Where did the Brain Eater come from? Why did it live in the cemetery? What was its connection to the Richard's? Why did water hurt it? Why did it only come out around Halloween? Why was there a 73 year gap between it's appearances? SO MANY QUESTIONS. Other than that, a great book.

While Robbins is quite prolific to say the least, he only has a handful of horror titles to his credit, but boy are they fun! Prank Night is set in a small, Oregon town (Cemetery Grove) and most of the action takes place in the weeks leading up to Halloween. Our main protagonist, Ben, starts off the novel returning to his home town after about a decade to visit his mother. As a child, Ben's alcoholic mother abused him and their relationship has been, lets say, strained since. Ben now works as a reporter in Portland, but writes horror novels on the side, with two published so far.
Robbins gives us a tour of the townies here as Robbins renews some old acquaintances, most importantly, his old buddy who is now the Police Chief, and his old flame Nadine, who quickly tells Ben that she is now divorced. Meanwhile, there is something stalking the town and people are dying. At first, the cops blame it on a bear, but the killings are awful strange, with a hole seemingly drilled into the foreheads of the victims and their 'life force' sucked out. Ben, seeing a killer story emerging, starts digging around and finds out that over 70 years ago, something similar haunted the town, then deemed the 'brain eater', and it killed several people around Halloween in just the same way...
A fun creature feature to be sure, although the 'monster' could have been developed more. Impervious to bullets, it seems the only weakness it possesses is water, but I will say no more on this to avoid spoilers. While OTT to be sure, Robbins paces the story well and fleshes out some good townie characters that give the story some life. None of the novels by Robbins I have read would win any writing awards, but if you like horror pulp, you should really enjoy his work. 4 monsters!!

If you're familiar with David Robbins, it's probably because you enjoy survival stories or westerns. He's the author of the long-running Endworld series of post-apocalyptic novels, he's lent his talents to several entries in the Executioner Men's Adventure series, and borrowed Ralph Compton's brand to pen a few lonesome cowboy stories. The guy even wrote a Hardy Boys adventure under the "Franklin W. Dixon" pseudonym early in his career, so he kind of spans the genres. But before churning out professional Mad Max fanfic and gunslinging Westerns, David Robbins got his break when he wrote Blood Cult for Leisure's horror line in 1982. But that book's ridiculously expensive on the secondary market (I've seen copies go for upwards of $70 on eBay), and I've never managed to lay hands on it. Nor have I yet found a copy of Hell-O-Ween, which was his 'breakout' horror story from 1992 and typically crosses the $40+ mark. I was delighted, however, to run across a beat-to-hell-and-back copy of Prank Night for under five dollars, and decided to make it my first Robbins read. I was suitably impressed and will be keeping my eye out for more of his stuff in the future, but it wasn't all fun and games. So let's go take a walk down by the cemetery and see what's stirring.
You're not scared, are you...?
* * * * *
Ben Shields is heading back to the sleepy little Oregon town of Cemetery Ridge. In the nine years since he left for the big city, he's turned into a minor celebrity, with two horror novels under his belt and a reasonably successful career in journalism which keeps the lights on and the gas tank filled. But if Ben's changed for the better in that near-decade, Cemetery Ridge has taken a turn for the worse. Traffic's even more sparse on main street, the local bank's gone out of business, and something nasty came out of the woods the other night and slaughtered his old friend Horace Walker. Folks are whispering about a bear attack, but sheriff Travis Sinclair saw the body and he's never seen any bear do that to a person before.
Then again, maybe it's not all bad. Ben's old sweetheart Nadine Somersby is newly-divorced from town scion Victor Richards, and it's clear she realized she made a mistake by choosing Victor's money over Ben's love all those years ago.
Of course, Ben remembers Victor as the guy who could never let anything go -- not in athletics, and definitely not in relationships. As if that's not enough, Victor's thuggish nephew Paxton is in town, shipped off from his mom's home in Colorado to hopefully straighten himself out before he ruins his life. Paxton's only been in town a few days, and has already put together his own little gang of trouble-makers. It's late October, Halloween's on the way, and Paxton's got some ideas for throwing a prank night the likes of which Cemetery Ridge has never seen before. All the while, the body count rises. By the time Halloween arrives in Cemetery Ridge, it will be a night no one can forget...assuming they survive to see daylight.

I thoroughly enjoyed Prank Night right up until the last few pages when I realized Robbins was falling victim to his own page count and didn't leave himself enough room to do more than give the story a quick-and-dirty ending which it did not deserve. At 365 pages, Prank Night falls into standard novel-length territory, but the story Robbins weaves is compelling enough that I found myself wanting more as I approached the final chapter. Sure enough, my fears were confirmed as Robbins hits page 362 and is forced to wrap everything up in another 2 and 1/3rd pages. The characters in this book are worth far better than that, and I don't think anyone would have suffered if he had used another ten pages to close things up a little neater. Maybe Leisure had him on a really tight deadline, or the editor at the time (this was 1994, so Don D'Auria hadn't come on board yet) was a stickler for page count, or maybe Robbins just didn't know the best way to finish what he started. Whatever the case, Robbins is hardly the first horror writer I've encountered who bangs out a killer novel then fails to stick the landing in the last few pages. Richard Laymon has stepped out on me so many times in that regard I should have kicked his ass to the curb twenty years ago, but damn if I don't rush to forgive him every time he lured me back with the promise to have changed his ways. What can I say? When it was good between us, it was damn good.
Laymon's also been dead since 2001, so I'll get back on track before somebody starts thinking I'm the president of some sort of necrophilia club.
The main issue I have with the story in Prank Night is the same one I have with a plethora of other horror movies: the witnesses and survivors of the attacks on Cemetery Ridge behave like not telling the truth is the best thing they could possibly do, and in fact some of them plan to leave town before the police can start asking questions. Um...maybe you jerks don't realize it, but several prominent and well-known members of the town were killed by this thing, not to mention at least one law enforcement officer. There are going to be questions, and heading out before the county sheriff can sit down for a chat with you isn't going to look good. Murders are murders, after all, and the cops don't stop investigating just because key witnesses skipped town. Plus, given the nature of Paxton's ultimate prank, Cemetery Ridge is going to spend hundreds of hours spent cleaning things up in the aftermath. Dashing off before being asked to help is kind of a dick move by all involved. I'll chalk it up to Robbins running up against his own page count this time, but we'll see if further reading reveals a writer who's great at coming up with new stories, but not so hot at concluding them in a satisfactory manner.
Pseudo-spoiler alert, it's no bear stalking the residents of Cemetery Ridge. I'm honestly not sure exactly what it is, since Robbins never comes out and gives us a name or even an explanation for what the monster is or where it came from. There are hints dropped, sure, but nothing concrete. We do spend some time in the creature's head, so we get an idea of what its goals are. Between that and the descriptions of what it does to its victims, we can conclude it's really not a nice thing at all. Still, while not knowing exactly what this thing is, and why one particular substance can harm it when bullets and shotgun slugs don't even faze it, isn't a deal-breaker for a horror story, it's still disappointing. One thing I will say is that it's unique -- you aren't likely to have encountered another one of these creatures in any other horror novel, that's for sure.
So, between the covers, what we have here is a solid effort by Robbins with a great setting in the small-town Pacific northwestern region of the United States, a cast of mostly-solid characters, even if some of them (mainly the teenagers involved in the book's B-plot) are flat enough to double for poster-board at a moment's notice, and a well-maintained pace up until the last few pages where it all goes south. This one reads like a cross between Jaws and a monster-of-the-week episode of The X-Files, and has me excited to read more of Robbins' horror novels and see if he improved. It appears he left the horror scene all together after 1995's Spook Night, but that leaves six other books in that genre to track down and hopefully enjoy. Despite my criticism of the ending and the fact we never learn what precisely was carving up the residents of Cemetery Ridge in search of 'sweet nectar', I still enjoyed Prank Night and would recommend it to anyone who's fine with not getting all the details surrounding a book's creature feature.
Three drained brains out of five.
Best Scene:
Paxton might be an unsympathetic little shit, but at least its a badge he wears proudly. His ultimate prank is both awful and hilarious at the same time (presuming you possess a morbid sense of humor), and there's a part of me that really wanted to see the town's reaction to it, despite his inability to finish it thanks to interference from the monster. This is exactly the sort of large-scale stunt every teenager dreams of pulling off, but fortunately for everyone on the receiving end, it's also virtually impossible barring a specific set of circumstances so you don't need to worry about someone duplicating it.
You're not scared, are you...?

Okay, so I know what all of you are probably thinking: why am I saying that this book is pretty good when, in reality, it's a cliched, monster movie book? Actually, I myself don't necessarily understand that. But, I guess the answer is that I went in not expecting it to be other than an entertaining book and came out thinking pretty much the same thing.
Sure, Prank Night, by David Robbins, is pure cheesiness, but there's something to it that kept my attention, something that made me enjoy it.
The story is, otherwise, simple: a monster is attacking a small town, so a few people decide to figure out a way to kill it, coming across other obstacles along the way. Speaking of the monster, a nitpick is that they never really explain it that much. There's a tiny bit, but not much.
Another nitpick is how this book is edited. Seriously, the amount of spelling and punctuation errors would make a seasoned reader of books in general shiver.
Other than that, this is a pretty well written (no matter what I said earlier) book and is probably a guilty-pleasure as well. Also, it's best to be read around Halloween, since it gives off a vibe of October (which the book is set in and around Halloween time as well) and fall.
If you find this book somewhere, pick it up. Even if you don't like it, there's probably something in there you might enjoy, and it reads like a cheesy 80s flick.
UPDATE: Lowered the rating down one star after some thinking. Still an interesting book, but just wasn't as good as the other horror books I've read.

Well, that was a steaming mess.

Ah, when you spy the greenish silver glow of the embossed text on the cover, you know what you are in for. This is fun, cheesy horror from the very end of the mass market horror boom. This is my first read by Robbins and I really enjoyed it. It was enjoyable in the same way a regional, low budget horror film with some ok effects and serviceable acting is. While it won't win any awards for excellence in its field, it is very enjoyable if this is your kind of thing, and makes none of the blunders that many novels of its ilk make. The pace is quick and Robbins writes in swift, clean prose. Not a mind blower (or sucker), but a fun read for those who like their horror nice and cheesy and competently written. Looking forward to reading more of Robbins' horror novels.

3.75 Overall a very fun read. Would have been a 4.0 but just somethings not right. There is no real explanation as to what the creature is (there is a lot implied, but a lot missing too). Also all of the couples in the story seem to fall in love after like 30 seconds, just doesnt seem realistic. Still a good read though, very fun, easy to read and follow, and lots of fun! Just could have been better.

Found this randomly at a secondhand shop and, lucky for me, took a chance. This is a fun monster story that reads just like an 80s B+ horror movie. A nice find for somebody who likes Stephen King - a small town, a varied cast of characters, a weird, otherworldly menace - but also likes to sleep at night. The monster itself is not a run of the mill one either, with an interesting origin and unusual features.
Thanks, David Robbins !

Well this book sucked.
I was delighted when reading to learn that this was a creature feature- my favorite! However, that excitement quickly fizzled out. The book felt extremely slow- bogged down by way too many characters and their unnecessary back stories and individual POV's. None of which I actually liked- the teens in this one were particularly deranged. One even suggests setting a cat on fire to stave off boredom. Another actually tells a woman he's going to rape her, but is interrupted by his uncle who brushes the whole confrontation off.
The creature is never fully explained, there's a weird romance subplot that was absolutely ridiculous, and there's entirely too many animal deaths for one book.
Halloween Rating: (Only rating how heavily halloween features/influences the story)
I read this as part of my annual halloweeI read this as part of my annual halloween themed horror marathon. With a title like this I expected this one to be very halloween heavy, but unfortunately, it was not. There was quite a few mentions of halloween, and trick or treating. But most of that happens "off screen" there is a "prank" the teens are setting up in the last 1/3 of the book but the halloween vibes just weren't there so this one gets 2/5 🎃

I have mixed feelings about this book. It was not a book that you cannot put down. The author gave the bad guys a fitting ending. The town sheriff was portrayed well. The creature was not scary, he reminded me of Pete's Dragon.
August 16, 2017
I didn't hate it but I didn't love it either. I felt some of the characters weren't needed and if you're gonna have am unknown creature at least give some explanation for it. The ending was ehh.

Not particularly well written. Lame monster. Felt like a poor man's Laymon.

A very dumb yet fun read.

Fairly interesting story but the writing was all over the place and the dialogue was terrible. Especially the teenager characters
June 7, 2014
This was awful. The characters were very bland and the dialogue was awkward. As far as the story goes, it was interesting for the most part. But the ending was so abrupt and left practically every question unanswered. Not to mention the protagonists basically just frolic off in a very "oh damn well!" kind of attitude. Overall, it was just very unsatisfying.
