Nighty-Nightmare by James Howe
This is the last of the series that I remember having read but I didn’t remember much and like the previous installments, it was pure fun, especially getting Chester’s version of Bunnicula’s origin.

Often loud and utterly ridiculous as it speeds breathlessly from the opening minutes to the end but a lot of fun as it hit me right in the nostalgia to make me feel like I was in my grandparent's basement with all my cousins on a Tuesday night in the 1980s.

The third entry is fast paced and sees Chester trying to convince Harold and new puppy Howie that something sinister may be happening with those vegetables that Bunnicula has drained juice from and so begins the incredibly well done farce.
