Halloween’s still a couple of weeks away, but your tech-savvy kids can get a jump on the creepy and the kooky. A new iPhone app called R.L. Stine’s Haunted House of Sound, which the mega-bestselling “Goosebumps” scribe emailed us personally about (really!), lets you insert more than 150 funny, gross or scary noises into five of the author’s spine-tingling stories. So it’s like “Mad Libs,” but with menacing growls and freaky tunes instead of non-sequitur nouns and verbs. Bonus: You’ll find reviews of other new iPhone apps for restless fingers in the November issue of Time Out Kids.
