Scare-Your-Pants-Off Club

The Scare-Your-Pants-Off Club is a series of children's horror novels written by E. A. DePoe.

Popularity
The series first appeared in Arthur's Lost Library Book. At the Elwood City Public Library, a new copy of the Scare-Your-Pants-Off Club book comes out and Arthur is the first to check it out, but he loses it. In a later Season 1 episode titled The Scare-Your-Pants-Off Club all of the kids are waiting in line at the library for the release of the new book, but they all get disappointed because P.A.W.S., or Parents Against Weird Stories got the books banned from libraries. At the end of the episode, it is revealed who writes the books.

In the season 8 episode "Fernkenstein's Monster" Fern donates all of her Scare-Your-Pants-Off Club books to the library book sale because after she read Frankenstein, she found the Scare-Your-Pants-Off series too tame. Given that Fern has not mentioned the books since, it is possible that Fern might have outgrown them.

Trivia

 * The Lunchbox from Notre Dame is a parody of the classic book  by Victor Hugo.
 * The Scare-Your-Pants-Off series and its author E.A. DePoe, are obvious parodies of the best-selling childrens horror series  and their author, R.L. Stine. It is also a reference towards the concern that the books drew from parent groups.
