The Haunting Hour: Chills in the Dead of Night is a 2001 horror collection by R. L. Stine. It is composed of 10 new short stories by author R.L. Stine, each featuring illustrations by various artists. Only "My Imaginary Friend" was adapted into an episode of R. L. Stine's The Haunting Hour TV series. However, "The Bad Babysitter" is similar to Mrs. Worthington. "Can You Draw Me" is similar to Brush With Madness and "The Mummy's Dream" is remotely similar to Night of the Mummy.
