Amanda and Josh are very upset at having to move away to a small town called Dark Falls. Unknown to them the town was subject to a horrible chemical factory accident that killed all the chemists years ago. The Dark Falls chemists soon murdered the other townspeople and the entire town became a place of the living dead. Amanda and Josh, along with their parents and dog, are the next victims unless they can figure out the truth. This is a great show, filmed in Canada with amazing scenery and an eerie plot. The cast choice was a good one and I really wish the soundtrack was available because it's eerie and beautiful. There are a few plot flaws though. First off, yes it's a small town. But when an accident kills an entire town, no matter the size an investigation would take place outside of town. The living dead are all dressed as if they just stepped out of the 1930's but the accident apparently occurred in the early 1990's. They really went out of their way to make the town stand out, complete with the name Dark Falls and a highly dangerous factory, as if they tried too hard and it becomes unrealistic at best. Also, the story is great, but for a show aimed at teens aged 12 to 14 the plot is a little too freaky. There is one part in the second half of the episode where an adult man, a former construction worker, begins to try and make his way into the room of the twelve year old character Amanda. There appears to be some love between her and the dead boy Ray, but then he tries to eat her, so it's not exactly a successful first date. The townspeople are dressed a little funny at times. The HAZMAT suits on the two dead guys in the background make sense, but then you've got a fat zombie mayor dressed in his best suit, a zombie sheriff, zombie chemist women in lab coats... how come not one of them is dressed in average casual clothing? That being said the show itself is successful at being creepy and the characters' personalities are very good. I would love it if they'd release the episode's soundtrack. Or if this story were made into a full-length film. Also, what happened to cause the chemical factory accident? They could have explained the past a little better. Was it an explosion, a leak, buildup of pollution, employee negligence? What killed the workers?

It's a MASTERPIECE ( in my opinion ). The story works so well as I whole. A new family moves into a new town. The kids really didn't want to move in the first place ( relatable ). The girl then starts to see people in the house, and rightfully so is scared about this. Her parents just chalk it off as scared about moving in. They see the mouther of the next door nabour, who yes you can tell she is a bad person buy the way she acts around those people. The concept is really good though. It's about the factory exploding and killed the workers. So they are Dead men or women walking, hence the title Welcome to Dead house. It's a cool story line to follow on though. And the actors all have convincing performances especially for a Goosebumps episode. They also can't go out in the sun as well, and they couldn't feed on the new nabours straight away as they had something to protect them, which really works well when the story finally unfolds. I think it's the most groundbreaking Goosebumps episode as the concept works well, the characters performances are almost perfect, and the characters I actually cared for. I know this was from 1990's but leave me alone I can still enjoy a watchable siries. And I have watched this episode about a dozen times, and it's still my favourite along side the Mask episode which is also a Masterpiece, ( respectfully ).

Enjoy it!, and hope the review helps!

Overall: 10/10 INSTANT CLASSIC.
