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

==History==
The series first appears in "[[Arthur's Lost Library Book]]." At the [[Elwood City Public Library]], a new copy of ''The Mysterious Hand'' 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 wait in line at the library for the release of the new book. They are disappointed when they learn that [[Parents Against Weird Stories|P.A.W.S.]], or Parents Against Weird Stories, has banned the books from libraries. At the end of the episode, it is revealed that [[Ms. McWord]] writes the books, and also signed a petition to get the books un-banned.

In the [[Season 8]] episode "[[Fernkenstein's Monster]]," [[Fern Walters|Fern]] donates all of her ''Scare-Your-Pants-Off Club'' books to the library book sale, finding them too tame after reading ''[[Frankenstein]]''. Given that Fern has not mentioned the books since, it is possible that she might have outgrown them.

==Trivia==
*The ''Scare-Your-Pants-Off'' series and its author E.A. DePoe, are obvious parodies of the best-selling children's horror series ''{{W|Goosebumps}}'' and their author, [[R.L. Stine]]. It is also a reference towards the concern that the books drew from parent groups.
*Coincidentally, ''Goosebumps'' author [[R. L. Stine]] and ''Arthur'' creator [[Marc Brown]] collaborated in 2015 to write and illustrate a book titled ''Little Shop of Monsters.''
*Although only mentioned in "[[Buster Hits the Books]]," it is implied that there is a TV series based on the books.
**When Arthur questions the fact that Buster has never read an entire book in his life, he asks, "What about the ''Scare-Your-Pants-Off'' books we all read?"  Buster replies, "I watched the TV show."
