Now, I’m just saying, but if some random guy was like: we should swim into the middle of the ocean right now, I might not follow. He makes her go for a swim with him in the ocean, and takes her far away from the shore until she can’t see it anymore. The next day Maria runs into him, and awkwardly tries to explain where she was the night before, but he’ll have none of it. Maria goes off with the other kids, and ditches Buddy that night to “take a ride” with Stuart in his “Thunderbird.” That apparently pushes Buddy over the edge. Hilarity ensues, unless you’re Buddy, who has severe rage issues. The other guys think Buddy is “square,” so they de-pants him and leave him in the ocean, because boys have always been that mature. Then there’s the fact that he lives in the creepy old beach house built over the ocean that always looks empty. But there’s something about shy, mysterious Buddy that makes her think twice.

Maria is single, but things are looking up for her since she’s already met two cute guys in the seaside resort town of Dunehampton (the desert cousin of the Hamptons?) Stuart is friends with Ronnie, so is always around. Amy, who looks like a mouse, is going steady with Ronnie. Maria and Amy, best friends, are on the beach, listening to some kickin’ rock and roll records. Voice on phone – mysterious, claims to be dead Ross – dating Ashley, wishes he was having angry sexīrad – rich guy with mansion, tennis courts, etc. Maria – dating two men, therefore doomed to dieīuddy – mysterious guy with nudity, rage issuesĪshley – dating Ross, and Brad, looks like a model There are so many f’ing characters in this, I thought I’d help you out with a little character list as well. I’ll just break it down the way it is, and hope it’s not too confusing. It takes place in two different times, the first being 1956, and the second being “present” summer, so I guess that could mean today, but it was published in 1992, so you do the math. Since once again I am running short on Fear Street books, I thought I’d take a look at something that predates the series –Beach House, a Point Horror novel.
